The article focuses on the problem of denominationally mixed marriages in the Helvetian Church in Bohemia and Moravia at the turn of the nineteenth and the twenti eth century. The problem is studied, on the one hand, for the whole Church on the basis of yearly reports of official performances for the years 1900-1914, and on the other for the Protestant parish Velim on the basis of the register of marriages for the years 1891-1914. Besides the share of denominationally mixed couples the article also pays attention to the numerical development of the Choir in Velim in the general context of development of the Helvetian church as such., Markéta Pražáková Seligová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Gendered practices in social work have never before been the subject of research in the Czech Republic. This article looks at gender perceptions and stereotypes in social work practices. It contains a discussion of some findings from a recent qualitative study of a social work organization. The research set out to explore the gendered constructions of women and men as clients. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with social workers. The conclusion of research is that women are constructed as responsible for protection, as cooperative, as subordinate and as hysterical, whereas men are constructed as outspoken, as uncooperative and as aggressive. The findings show the importance of raising the awareness of social workers about their gender strategies and the possible impact of these strategies on their professional work, Radka Janebová, Lucie Černá., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The South Korean film industry represents a masculine-privileged gender regime that over the last few decades has shown a newfound strength both at home and abroad. However, challenging this masculine privilege are a growing number of important though unheralded female writers-directors operating in both the independent and commercial sectors of the industry. In this article, the authors present a case study that explores the work of five of these female writers-directors within this context. They begin by asking two key questions: can female writers-directors find a voice within the Korean film industry that challenges the traditional gender stereotypes both within the industry and in the wider Korean culture? How can the Korean experience connect to the Western experience? The first methodological step in explicating the case study is to set out a particularly Western theoretical approach that emphasises the idea that masculine privilege exists hegemonically within the so-called ‘hegemony of men’. The authors then go on to highlight specific elements in the work of these female writers-directors that expose aspects of both challenge and constraint within the hegemony of men. They conclude that, although the work of these female writers-directors indeed challenges tradition and gendered stereotypes sustained within the hegemony of men, such challenges represent moments of reformism rather than revolutionary systematic change., Richard Howson, Brian Yecies., and Obsahuje bibliografii
