Svit Komel

Svit Komel is a young researcher and assistant at the Department of Legal History. Prior to joining the Faculty of Law in 2021, he completed an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine at the University of Cambridge. His PhD dissertation examines how surveys, as a particular form of power and manner of producing knowledge that developed in the 18^th and 19^th centuries, influenced transformations of property and the transition from manorialism to capitalism in the former Habsburg Monarchy. He focuses in particular on cadastral surveys, the land relief or the abolition of serfdom, and the regulation and redemption of collective peasant rights in forests and pastures.
