Pro vězení je na rozdíl od jiných institucí příznačné, že za svými zdmi shromažduje chovance nedobrovolně. Veškerý čas a aktivity vězňů jsou striktně strukturovány. Autoritě instituce, která za své svěřence přebírá zodpovědnost a tím pádem i možnost sankcionovat nežádoucí chování, jsou podřízeny veškeré aspekty života (některé aspekty, jako je např. rodinný život, jsou pak ze života v lůně totální instituce zcela vyňaty). Odsouzený má pouze omezený manévrovací prostor pro prosazení svých zájmů. Navíc vězení představuje značnou zátěž nejen pro odsouzené, ale klade vysoké nároky také na vězeňský personál, jenž má za úkol starat se o izolaci a převýchovu vězňů., The article concern on the prison system.

The article focuses on one of the factors affecting the political representation of women: political culture. Defined as the level of egalitarian gender culture in a country as related to politics in particular, its open forms can be measured in public opinion polls. But the article focuses on two less apparent forms of differentiation between the sexes in relation to politics. The first is the different way in which each gender relates conceptually to power. The second difference relates to the view that equal representation is not too important. An in-depth analysis using ideological analysis (a type of CDA) even reveals the existence of a divided concept of freedom according to gender, which is obscured by a set of other divides, such as politics versus culture, public versus private, love versus personal autonomy., Hana Havelková., and Obsahuje bibliografii

The main purpose of the paper is to ofer an overview of recent research problems and debates concerning the emergence of masculinity/masculinities through the gendered preparation and consumption of food. While it takes the shape of a systematic review of scientiic papers related to the mutual interdependence of masculinities and food -related practices in the past decade, it attempts to provide a synthetic snapshot of the ield. First of all, an inventory of dominant images of masculinity and food is outlined in order to provide a frame of reference for the subsequent discussion. Masculinity is then examined as an emergent quality of various practices of a) consumption and b) production of food in two chapters. In the first chapter, both the content and forms and attitudes in regard to masculine consumption are discussed, including speciically priorities in food choices and related health issues. In the second chapter, manly cooking as performance (as presented by the media and represented by customs) on the one hand and as a necessity (in purely male groups) on the other is brought under scrutiny., Adam Gajdoš., Obsahuje bibliografii, and Abstrakt a klíčová slova anglicky
