[pt] O direito de retenção é a faculdade assegurada ao credor de uma relação jurídica de reter uma coisa a outrem devida até a satisfação de um crédito ao qual faz jus em decorrência de benfeitorias nela introduzidas. Em outras palavras, trata-se de uma causa legítima para a recusa da restituição da coisa ao seu legítimo titular, com o consequente prolongamento da posse para além do momento em que deveria cessar. Todavia, a temática é objeto de tratamento assistemático e desconexo no direito brasileiro, com resquícios da tipificação criminal do uso arbitrário das próprias razões. Propõe-se, portanto, um exame do instituto tendo o artigo 1.219 do Código Civil como a base principiológica, sobretudo com relação à subjetividade da boa-fé indicada pelo legislador, buscando-se identificar a possibilidade de aplicabilidade do instituto para além dos formalismos apriorísticos e dogmatismos históricos e como forma de autotutela. / [en] The right of retention is the faculty granted to the creditor of a legal relationship to retain something owed to its rightful owner until the satisfaction of a credit due to improvements introduced therein. In other words, it is a legitimate reason of refusal of return the thing to its rightful owner, with the consequent prolongation of possession beyond the moment that should cease. However, the matter is subject to unsystematic and disjointed treatment in Brazilian law, with traces of the criminal typification of arbitrary use of own reasons. Therefore, an examination of the institute is proposed, with Article 1,219 of the Brazilian Civil Code as the principled basis, specially related to the subjectivity of good faith indicated by the legislator, seeking to identify the possibility of applying the institute beyond aprioristic formalisms and historical dogmatisms and as and as a self-protection form.

Le présent travail se concentre sur la documentation du maloya. En effet, il est apparu que les informations disponibles à son sujet ne remplissaient pas les attentes que l'on est en droit de formuler à l'égard d'une pratique inscrite depuis octobre 2009 sur la liste représentative du patrimoine immatériel mondial définie par l'UNESCO. Après avoir résumé les connaissances disponibles à l'égard du maloya considéré, bien que sous d'autres noms, comme la « musique des Noirs » depuis le début de la colonisation bourbonnaise, nous plongeons dans l'histoire réunionnaise des années 1960-2000. Celle-ci porte la marque de l'opposition idéologique ayant tendu à cliver les insulaires de part et d'autre de la revendication autonomiste vis-à-vis de la France. Le maloya y apparaît des plus malléables et sa contribution à la définition d'une identité réunionnaise contemporaine y est interrogée au fil d'une histoire qu'il nous donne à entendre de manière unique. À partir de notre connaissance du rôle rituel du maloya, nous proposons toutefois de renverser l'approche habituelle pour l'entendre et le penser depuis l'univers sémantique des usagers d'une musique religieuse. Dégageant une typologie des répertoires du maloya ainsi que ses différentes acceptions régionales, ce sont les tendances évolutives de ce dernier qui apparaissent dans notre analyse, démontrant ainsi son rôle dans la créolisation locale. Derrière ces usages sociaux de l'art, c'est aussi la figure du « Noir » (le « Kaf ») que l'on voit ainsi évoluer dans l'île, rappelant et son association au maloya et son caractère déterminant sur le plan culturel insulaire. / Whereas a reflexive chapter, focused on the progressive immersion we realised among the actors of possessions cults from afro-malagasy origins living in Reunion Island, had been primarly thought to join this thesis, the main effort consists here in the documentation of the maloya. Effectively, an overlook to what's been said of this traditionnal music requiered such a missing work attached to an element recently inscribed on the UNESCO patrimonial list. Resuming the available knowledge about the maloya, which is considered since the early moment of the colonization as the reunionese « Black music », the purpose was to reach the modern era and then underlying the importance of this esthetical practice in the definition of what could be called, under certain conditions, this « kréol identity ». The post-colonial role that played maloya during the years 1960-1970 appears newly as we emphasize his historical implications. We've also been able to relocate the common point of vue already existing of the maloya in scientifical field as well as on the public scene from the musicians and their cultual significations. Analyzing, for example, his four distincts repertories, we open to an original understanding of the past and the present of a creolized culture that had always took music as a fundement of its existence. This work makes also possible the reflexion about the place of the « Kaf » (Reunionneses of black origins) in this cultural construction, and maybe, the one of the afro-descendents and their so-called « black music » in the invention of our new globalized world.

Dans cette thèse, j'interroge le développement rapide, au Vietnam et dans les années 2000, d'une forme nouvelle de rituel de possession par les morts, appelée áp vong (littéralement : appliquer/apposer l'âme). L'une des particularités de ces séances est que les défunts n'y sont pas incarnés par le spécialiste rituel, qui ne joue qu'un rôle d'encadrement, mais par un client, par l'intermédiaire duquel les autres membres de la famille pourront interroger leurs morts. Après un exposé du contexte d'idées et de pratiques dans lequel ces rituels sont apparus (représentations liées à la personne, conceptions sotériologiques, autres pratiques de possession), je tente de comprendre la place qu'ils prennent dans la société vietnamienne, marquée par une transformation profonde de la relation entre les vivants et les morts liée au traumatisme de la guerre. Cela m'amène à analyser les aspects politiques de cette innovation rituelle : en effet, la popularisation fulgurante des séances de áp vong a eu pour théâtre des « centres de recherche » créés par des intellectuels vietnamiens se posant en promoteurs de ces pratiques face à un pouvoir central pris entre sa volonté d'éradiquer les « superstitions » et son devoir de prendre en charge la mémoire des victimes de la guerre. Enfin, pour tenter de comprendre ces rituels, où ceux qui incarnent les morts ne sont ni des médiums, ni des victimes de l'affliction causée par un défunt, et où la possession est constamment en train de se faire et de se défaire (j'accorde une place importante aux séances qui ne « fonctionnent » pas ou mal), j'adopte une approche constructiviste visant à lire la possession autour du possédé plutôt qu'en lui. De là, je propose de considérer la possession comme une épreuve, au sens que la sociologie pragmatique a donné à ce terme : une qualification négociée de la réalité, portant dans ce cas sur l'attribution d'une agentivité (celle d'un défunt) à un corps (celui du possédé). / In this thesis, I question the quick development, in the years 2000 in Vietnam, of a new form of possession by the dead, called áp vong (litterally : to affix the soul). One of the specificities of these séances is that the dead are not embodied by the ritual specialist, who only plays a supervizing role, but by a client, through whom other members of the family will consult their dead relatives. After a presentation of the context of ideas and practices in which these rituals appeared (person-realted reprentations, soteriological conceptions, other practices of possession), I attempt to understand the place they take in contemporary Vietnamese society, which is characterized by a deep transformation of the relation between the living and the dead related to the trauma of war. This leads me to analyze the political aspects of this ritual innovation : the dazzling popularization of áp vong séances mainly took place in « research centers » created by Vietnamese intellectuals acting as promoters of these practices, facing a central power taken between its will to eradicate « superstitions » and its duty to take charge of the memory of the victims of the war. Finally, in order to try to understand these rituels, where those who embody the dead are not mediums, nor victims of spirit afflictions, and where one can constantly witness the making and the un-making of possession (special attention is payed to to séances that « don't work »), I build a constructivist approach aiming at reading possession around the possessed subject rather than inside him. From there, I propose to consider possession as a test (épreuve), in the sense that French pragmatic sociology gave to this notion : a negociated qualification of reality, which in this case deals with the attribution of an agency (that of a dead) to a body (that of the possessed subject).

De inegável relevância na vida humana, a posse se configura como um dos temas mais controvertidos no âmbito do Direito Civil. Em todos os seus contornos e características, incluindo sua natureza jurídica, terminologia, efeitos e classificações, observamos um debate acirrado e polêmico a seu respeito, o que demonstra o firme interesse dos estudiosos sobre a possessio através dos séculos. Ademais, compete ao aplicador do Direito compreender o fenômeno possessório a partir das premissas e valores constitucionais fundamentais, em especial o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, levando em consideração as mutações sociais e a realidade dos fatos, para que seja possível extrair do ordenamento caminhos efetivos à concretização de uma sociedade justa e solidária, a fim de erradicar a pobreza e diminuir as desigualdades sociais. Neste contexto, de forma prospectiva e adequando os conceitos civilistas à Carta da República, defendemos a aplicação do artigo 1276 do Código Civil também em benefício do ocupante qualificado de imóvel abandonado, de modo a consolidar o domínio em seu favor no mesmo triênio conferido à Administração Pública, garantindo-se então aos menos favorecidos o legítimo acesso à moradia e ao trabalho. Na medida em que o ser humano se constitui no foco de atenção, preocupação e proteção do ordenamento jurídico acreditamos que as exegeses normativas devem concretizar o disposto no artigo 1, inciso III, da Constituição da República, razão pela qual a posse de outrem exercida ininterruptamente sobre bem abandonado merece funcionar como forma de aquisição originária da propriedade imóvel privada no lapso de tempo estatuído no artigo 1276 do Código Civil. / Having undeniable relevance in human life, possession configures as one of the most contentious issues within Civil law. We observe a strained and controversial debate over all of its contours and features, including legal nature, terminology, effects and ratings. That shows scholars strong interest on possession through the centuries. Besides, Law enforcers should understand possessory phenomena taking from the viewpoint of the assumptions and fundamental constitutional values, specially the principle of human dignity, taking into consideration the social changes and the reality of the facts, so as to extract from the Law effective paths to achieving a fair and caring society, aiming at erradicating poverty and reducing social inequality. In this context, prospectively adapting the civilists concepts to the Charter of the Republic, we support the application of the article 1.276 of the Civil Code also to the qualified occupants of the abandoned property, in order to consolidate the domain on their behalf in the same triennium conferred to the public administration, ensuring to disadvantaged people the legitimate access to housing and employment. To the extent that human beings are the focus of attention, concern and protection of the legal system, we believe that normative interpretations must implement the provisions set down in Article 1, section III of the Constitution. Thats why third party possession exercised uninterruptedly over abandoned property deserves recgnition as a form of original acquisition of private property in the lapse of time established in Article 1276 of the Civil Code.

<p>Традиционално, државина је посматрана као чињеница (possessio non iuris est, sed facti). Један део правне доктрине сматра да је државина право. Мада има одговарајућа правна дејства и ужива правну заштиту, државина није и не може бити право. Веома често се државина и право на државину поклапaју, и правни субјект може имати право на државину (ius possidendi) засновано на неком субјективном праву, али државина може настати не само као вршење правне власти, већ и без ње, па и супротно таквом овлашћењу. Државина може да постоји независно од права на ствар, односно, независно од тога да ли се у конкретном случају правна и фактичка власт на некој ствари подударају или супротстављају.<br />Предмет истраживања и рада на докторској дисертацији &bdquo;Правна дејства државине у савременом праву&ldquo;, представља анализу појма, правне природе, субјеката и објеката државине, врста и квалитета државине, стицања, преноса и престанка државине.

A part of legal doctrine regards possession as a right. Although possession causes certain legal effects and enjoys protection of the law, possession is not and may not be regarded as a right. Very often factual possession and right to possession overlap and a person may hold a right to possession (ius possidendi) based on some personal right, however possession may be created not only as a result of lawful exercise of one&rsquo;s rights, but also without, or contrary to, exercise of such rights. Possession may exist independently of property rights, that is, regardless of whether legal and factual control over a thing overlap or are at odds.<br />The subject of this research and work on doctoral thesis titled &ldquo;The Legal Effects of Possession in Contemporary Law&rdquo; is analysis of the meaning and legal nature of possession; persons holding possession and things that may be subject to possession; types and varieties of possession; acquiring, transfer, and loss of possession. Such detailed overview of possession contributes to better understanding of the most significant legal effects caused by possession over a thing.<br />The aim of the research is to provide a critical analysis of the law and to examine how the regulations have been modified to meet the challenges of modern time.<br />Depending on the type and form of possession, the legal framework provides for different legal effects to possession over a thing. Personal and objective features determine the quality of possession. Possession, with all the positive elements, constitutes qualified possession. The qualified possession is a possession that is legal and lawful. Legal effects of possession are created at the moment the possession is acquired and they are created towards a person that acquired it.<br />The following elements of possession are created through its legal effects: element of publicity, element of continuity, and protective element.<br />Legal effects of possession associated with the element of publicity are the following: possession is a modus of acquiring property rights over movable objects; possession creates presumption about an existence of property rights over a thing; possession creates possibility of acquiring property rights from a person that does not hold any property rights to a thing; person having corporal possession over a thing is liable for damages arising out of the thing that he holds in his possession.<br />Legal effects of possession associated with the element of continuity are the following: protection of possession from dispossession or infringement of possession; more favorable possession of the holder of a thing in proceedings initiated by Publiciana in rem action; position of the holder at the time of recovery of the thing in proceedings for actions initiated for recovery of possession; it is possible for possession that had certain qualities and that lasted for a period of time set by the law, through adverse possession, to transfigure into a property right.<br />The results, shortcomings of the legislative framework and suggestions de lege ferenda, are summarized in the conclusion of the doctoral thesis.</p>

The thesis deals with describing, evaluating, and proposing of possible changes in planning, placement and describing possession activities on railway lines in order to improve transmission and quality of the services provided by the SŽDC. The first chapter describes the environment of rail transport focusing mainly on law and regulations. The second chapter describes the aim of the study, additional category focuses on describing the method of processing of materials. The fifth chapter focuses on selected lines to describe the various closures in specific line sections. Sixth chapter aims on comparison methods of implementation lockout activities on examined lines. The last chapter has to summarize and evaluate results to submit any additional recommendations.

La recherche ainsi entamée nous a toutefois réservé des surprises de taille qui nous ont contraint à sortir de la seule sphère successorale pour élargir notre réflexion à d’autres domaines du droit civil, et à formuler ainsi une structure de thèse plus étendue et plus complexe.La thèse que nous proposons de défendre est que la saisine héréditaire n’est en réalité que l’une des déclinaisons d’un concept beaucoup plus vaste, qui traverse tout le champ du droit civil, celui de « saisine ». Nous défendrons la thèse selon laquelle ce concept transversal, méconnu de notre Code civil, se manifeste au travers de ses deux facultés principales, que nous qualifierons de saisine statique et de saisine dynamique. La saisine comprise dans sa faculté statique est précisément révélée dans notre droit par la saisine héréditaire et prend la forme d’un droit réel de posséder, dont nous proposons de démontrer l’existence et que nous mettrons à l’épreuve. L’autre faculté du concept de saisine, que nous qualifierons de saisine dynamique, consiste en la remise en cause du transfert solo consensu par la reconnaissance du caractère dual de la mécanique du transfert de propriété. Notre thèse est ici de démontrer que les droits français et belge connaissent, à l’instar du droit romain et du droit positif allemand, une mécanique de transfert duale, où l’acte translatif est distinct du contrat obligationnel. Nous démontrerons que la saisine, comprise dans sa faculté dynamique, est précisément l’acte translatif nécessaire au transfert du droit réel. Fort de ces enseignements nécessaires à sa compréhension causale, la thèse sera enfin recentrée sur son objet initial, la saisine héréditaire. Sur le fondement des analyses précitées, nous proposerons une théorie nouvelle de la saisine héréditaire, droit réel de posséder inclus dans la propriété de l’hérédité, selon laquelle le premier doit suivre la seconde, aux fins d’éviter les insécurités juridiques nombreuses générées par l’organisation de lege lata de l’institution. Nous proposerons enfin une harmonisation entre l’analyse causale de la saisine héréditaire, telle que nous l’aurons développée, et l’analyse fonctionnelle traditionnelle de l’institution. / Doctorat en Sciences juridiques / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Les XVe et XVIe siècles sont les témoins de grands bouleversements au niveau des arts et de la science et sont traversés par des tensions politiques et religieuses extrêmes. L’Empire ottoman, alors en pleine expansion, s’avançait dangereusement vers l’Occident chrétien lui-même déchiré par d’innombrables conflits internes. Située à quelques kilomètres à peine des côtes anatoliennes, l’île de Rhodes représentait un obstacle aux conquêtes de la Sublime Porte et était vue par les Occidentaux comme le dernier bastion chrétien en Méditerranée orientale. Assiégée en 1480 et finalement prise par Suleyman le Magnifique en 1522, l’île occupait une place importante dans l’imagerie occidentale de l’époque comme symbole de la lutte contre l’Empire ottoman. Dans un contexte de découvertes où se développaient les connaissances sur la géographie et où l’on se questionnait sur l’espace et la manière de le représenter, les représentations chorographiques et géographiques de Rhodes se multipliaient. Ces images mettent en scène une vision occidentale des Ottomans ainsi que la réalité conflictuelle des rapports de pouvoir entre l’Orient et l’Occident à la Renaissance. Elles sont étudiées non pas uniquement comme forme d’expression artistique mais comme constructions culturelles porteuses de l’idéologie et des impératifs territoriaux des sociétés européennes. Ce mémoire, à travers l’étude d’un corpus d’images choisies, analyse ces représentations de manière à mettre en lumière leur lien intrinsèque avec la notion de pouvoir et l’idée de possession territoriale. / The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw great breakthroughs in the arts and sciences and were traversed by extreme political and religious tensions. The Ottoman Empire, then in full expansion, advanced dangerously towards the Christian West, which was itself torn by innumerable internal conflicts. Located only a few kilometers from the Anatolian coast, the island of Rhodes represented an obstacle to the conquests of the Ottoman Porte, and was seen by the West as the last Christian stronghold in the eastern Mediterranean. Besieged in 1480 and finally taken by Suleyman the Magnificent in 1522, the island occupied an important place in the Western imagery of the time as a symbol of the struggle against the Ottoman Empire. In a context of discoveries and increasing knowledge about geography, and of questioning the space and the way to represent it, the geographical and chorographical representations of Rhodes multiplied. These images depict a Western vision of the Ottomans and the conflictual reality of power relationships between the East and the West during the Renaissance. They are studied not only as forms of artistic expression but as cultural constructions carrying the ideology and the territorial imperatives of the european societies. This dissertation, through the study of a corpus of chosen images, analyzes these representations in order to highlight their intrinsic link with the notion of power and the idea of territorial possession.
