Visualisation of crime in the Normalization cinema
Škopková, Andrea ; Urban, Michal (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
67 Visualisation of crime in the Normalization cinema Abstract The thesis deals with the question to what extent and in what way the Czechoslovak Normalisation through state-controlled cinema influenced the portrayal of crime/criminality in crime and detective films. The present work attempts to capture the schemes and boundaries within which the dramaturgy of Czech film genre production moved during the so-called Normalisation. The work is based on comparing available data and studies on real crime with its filmic portrayal. The thesis includes a chapter devoted to interdisciplinary, especially sociological, contexts of researching crime and its reflection in society. Another part of the text includes the historical and legal-historical context of the topic under study and the transformations of criminal law. Together with a description of some selected motifs of the film narratives and with an assessment of the extent to which and in what ways selected criminological topics (e.g. recidivism, the problem of social pathologies) are reflected in contemporary professional literature (or statistics) and film, the thesis illustrates with specific examples the ways in which the ideology of Normalization may manifested itself in film productions primarily for the entertainment of the audience (the public). The...

New codification of just redaction of the original one? Comparison of Czech land constitutions from years 1500 and 1549
Stojan, Marek ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the comparison of two crucial legal codes of the Bohemian common law of the first half of the 16th century, i.e. Vladislavské zřízení zemské and Zřízení zemské of 1549. The aim is to answer the question whether it is possible to perceive Zemské zřízení of 1549 in the same way as it is understood by the majority of the current historiography, meaning whether Zemské zřízení of 1549 is only the redaction of Vladislavské zřízení zemské. I want to concentrate on the thought if it is necessary to reconsider the general view on this matter. It may be established that these legal codes are relatively independent works due to their dissimilarities as they differ significantly in their origin, authors, historical context, central ideas, and structure. In general, the distribution of power is a key aspect of forming the law, which applies not only to the early modern period, and this idea is reflected in the structure and content of both these codifications. In the first chapter, I focus on the contextualisation of both codes from the point of view of the legal history and discuss the political science thinking of selected classical authors. My next goal is to describe the legal development not only in the Kingdom of Bohemia but in the Moravian Margraviate as well as, this...

The History of the Legal Protection of Woody Plants in Czech Territory
Šimandl, Milan ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
The History of the Legal Protection of Woody Plants in Czech Territory Abstract The subject of this dissertation thesis is the development of the legislation on the protection of woody plants growing outside woods in the territory of the Czech Republic. The thesis provides a comprehensive description of the subject in a broader context from the beginning of the Bohemian state up to the present. The thesis is divided into six sections focused on specific topics. Each section includes chapters and subchapters. The first section explores the earliest era from antiquity to 18th century. Unlike the other sections, it is not strictly divided into specific areas, as it describes the common ground for the remaining sections. Within this period, the main goal of woody plants protection was the protection of property, i.e. protection from theft and trespassing. The second section of the thesis describes the development of the legislation on trees planted along roads and tree alleys from 18th century up to the present. Trees planted along roads are essential not only in terms of landscape formation but also in terms of the protection of roads and road traffic. In the past, there was a large number of regulations related to the planting and protection of trees along roads. In terms of trees planted along roads, the...

Law of boundaries and its rituals in the era of Přemyslids
Razim, Jakub ; Starý, Marek (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
BORDER LAW AND ITS RITUALS IN THE PŘEMYSLID ERA ABSTRACT: In an attempt to reach a comprehensive understanding of medieval people whose entire lives were anchored in a culture of legal customs, it is only natural that law and its rituals should come into view. Rituals governed society and co-created people's ideas of what was once perceived as right and just. In the present work, we have chosen the period of the Přemyslids as our time frame and, from the wide variety of legal rituals, we have focused on circuits. As the Czech terms ochoz and objezd suggest, this was a traditional behavior that consisted of arranging a procession on foot or horseback, taking place ceremoniously before the eyes of an audience from near and far. The aim of this practice, widely used throughout Europe, was to identify and secure the boundaries within which people were allowed to exercise dominion or ownership over their formally circumscribed territory. After we have presented a succinct overview of the legal historiography that touches our topic, the source base will attract our attention. Given that from the Přemyslid age, that is, before 1306, neither codes of law nor learned treatises on law are available, there is no choice but to turn our eyes elsewhere. Sometimes brief, sometimes more eloquent details of boundary law...

Never Build Heart of the State. Efforts to Build a New Parliament Building and Government District in Interwar Prague and Their Failure
Kober, Jan
The paper gives a short overview of the efforts to build the new building of the Parliament in Czechoslovakia between 1919 and 1928. In 1919, the Parliament moved to larger building of the Rudolfinum, the most important Prague concert and art exhibition hall. On the other hand, the pre-war endeavours to build a monumental university quarter at Letná plain were revised into the monumental parliament and government district after 1919. The paper follows two architectural competitions on Letná Plain (1920, 1928) as well as (selected) controversies between various actors (Parliament, State Regulatory Commission, Governmental offices, ambitious architects and professional organisations).

Moreover, this theses draws out of archival sources and files created by military investigating organs and organs of military prosecution. The author also used rare historical sources, which are typical for contemporary history. We are talking about film documents and memories of participant. Basic stated algorithm is bet in the context of Czechoslovakian political progress after events in February 1948. Implemented research showed the fact, that political delinquency of military personnel was its special form. Consequently, this topic...

A theoretical conception of liability in private law
Janeček, Václav ; Beran, Karel (advisor) ; Holländer, Pavol (referee) ; Elischer, David (referee)
(English) What is liability?1 This "big" question has proven to be too tough for many private law theorists during the past 60 years. A dominant Czech approach to liability is the so-called theory of sanction: liability is a secondary duty imposed due to breach of a primary duty. At the same time, however, liability is conceptualized as an active institute, i.e. as liability to fulfil an obligation. This implies a specific "Czech" problem of liability: a paradoxical situation where a man can be liable because he was sanctioned, and also be sanctioned because he was liable. Liability in this sense seems to be an inherently flawed and meaningless concept, since both theories aspire to describe liability to the same extent (co-extensively). The most recent trend in Czech legal theory is thus a sceptical approach that completely eliminates the concept of liability from legal discourse. This is contrary to an ongoing and presumably meaningful debate on liability in foreign non-Czech literature that supports the most recent analytical and normative approaches to European legal regulation and its developments. Unlike in Czech language, this literature treats liability (Haftung) and responsibility (Verantwortung) as two discrete concepts. But why is this so? Wher does the "Czech" problem of liability come...
