Problems of the insolvency law in the practice of insolvency court Abstract This rigorous thesis deals with the Insolvency Act and the problems and uncertainties contained in it, which people working with it (especially insolvency courts) encounter in their practice. The rigorous thesis is divided into five main parts, four of which are further divided into chapters. The first part serves as a depiction of the long-term historical development of bankruptcy law, the beginnings of which can be found in Roman law. Emphasis is placed especially on the Bankruptcy and Settlement Act and the Insolvency Act and especially on the number of their amendments. The second part deals with the problematic provisions of the general part of the Insolvency Act and deals with the provisions describing the insolvency proceedings before the declaration of bankruptcy as well as the provisions that will apply during the entire insolvency proceedings. This part is therefore the most extensive. The following two parts are devoted to the special part of the Insolvency Act.

This thesis deals with a sport audience phenomenon, in particular with the concrete SK Slavia Praha supporters' expressions. This phenomenon is examined primarily from the perspective of ritual. The main concept is based on V. Turner's theory of liminal/liminoid. This theory claims the existence of a certain antistructure sphere in which both an individual and a social group become temporarily free from social power and somehow unhampered. However, there is a different form of this state in traditional and industrial society. This thesis examines the nature of fandom in relation to this theoretical categorization: hence to both the structure and the antistructure and their different forms. These categories are derived from Turner's concept of social drama, which therefore becomes the interpretative framework of the examined phenomenon as well. The second crucial level of the thesis deals with the ritual behaviour of the supporter community (conceptualized as imagined) itself. In this area, the thesis is focused on the concrete symbolic elements analysis, their contextual and conventional meaning and also on the performative aspect of this ritual behaviour. The mutual relation between both of the mentioned rituality levels is also adressed.
