The number of children in shared custody has been growing slowly in the CR. Today shared custody presents about 8 % of divorce cases with dependent children decided by courts. Despite this trend, there is a lack of research on how shared custody is practiced and experienced by Czech parents. The aim of this paper is to partially fill this gap. In the paper I ask how shared custody is related to the disruption of traditional gender ideology and performance of paternal and maternal roles and gender inequalities between partners. The analysis is based on 13 in-depth interviews with couples (mothers and fathers separately) who have shared custody. The analysis indicated that even if shared custody may be considered to be a tool for disrupting gender stereotypes and gender inequality between parents, it proved to be associated both with the confirmation and disruption of gender stereotypes associated with fatherhood and motherhood. While certain aspects of the practices and culture of shared custody are associated with “undoing gender”(especially regarding fatherhood), in other aspects it enhances and reproduces the gender power inequality between ex-partners and traditional expectations associated with parental roles., Marta Vohlídalová., and Obsahuje použitou literaturu
The article focuses on the development of terms which were used in antiquity and Middle Age Europe to denote public opinion ( fama, existimatio, opinio in Ancient Rome, fama publica, communis opinio in the Middle Ages etc.). Particular attention is paid to the distinction made in Roman public life between a fama, which represented common opinion, and a rumor, which meant undervalued and unreliable opinion of the plebs. The medieval term rumor fama, more often fama publica, referred to a local information network or mechanism of collective evaluation of individuals’ esteem. It was also an impor- tant part of court proceedings. Both historic eras were concerned with rumor in today’s sense of the word, which often comprised or underlaid common opinion., Kateřina Soukalová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Collective homes and housing collectivization are phenomena that are usually considered to be ideologically close to Marxism and anarchism. In the 19th century, however, socialization of domestic work was part of various ideological streams, from social democrats to the business establishment. At the beginning of the 20th century, various forms of collective housing garnered the attention of the Czech intellectual elite. Information about collective housing came either directly from the United States of America or from Germany and Scandinavia. Czech sociologists regarded it as a contribution to social solidarity; feminists, on the contrary, as an instrument for the reinforcement of the family. The concept of homes with central kitchens came to Bohemia not only as part of a political and economic discourse but also in utopian novels and as part of architectural debates. Czech architecture and literature were, however, reserved about collective housing. The first larger reflection on central kitchens did not appear in Czech architecture until the beginning of the 1920s, on the margins of debates about the garden city. Among feminists, in contrast, we can see an uninterrupted interest in the socialization of domestic work during the entire first four decades of the 20th century. And it was feminists who managed to give the theoretical deliberations a real, albeit very constrained architectural form., Hubert Guzik., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The presented paper tries to interpret the campaign before the Czech presidential election in 2013 from the perspective of Je rey Alexander’s performative theory. It argues that the process of preference formation cannot be completely explained on the basis of rational interests of the voters, media or socioeconomic strata. On the contrary, the paper based in durkheimian paradigm argues for the importance of collective emotions. The campaign is understood here as a sequence of performative acts in which the candidates, understood as collective representations, try to associate themselves with emotions of the voters. The performance in Alexander’s perspective takes place in the civil sphere formed by the cultural code with binary structure of the democratic and antidemocratic side. In this perspective the case of Czech presidential campaign will be shown with the focus on the unexpected advancement of Karel Schwarzenberg to the second round of the election., Vít Horák., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article discusses the o cial presentations of the two most successful candidates of the rst round of the presidential elections in the Czech Republic 2013, Karel Schwarzenberg and Miloš Zeman, from the perspective of the concepts of positive and negative political advertisement and the re ection of the election campaigns by Czech citizens. By the means of the framework and content analyses the topics and the most frequent words of the o cial (created by campaigns teams) materials are identi ed. The results are interpreted with regard to the attributes of positive and negative campaign. Using the statistical analysis of the data from public opinion survey by CVVM the Czech public’s re ection of the election campaigns is described. The results of the study indicate that we can denote Zeman’s campaign after the rst round of the elections as a negative one. Zeman’s campaign has also proved to be more speci c and memorable - by both, subjective evaluation of the respondents and the associations, connected with the candidates after the elections., Monika Cervinková, Lucie Kulhavá., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
a1_The prosopographical (collective biographical) study set out in this article is based on data published in the Who’s Who of Contemporary Czech Sociology and Related Disciplines (2011). Due to the fact that Czech sociologists rarely retire, this intellectual sub-group is comprised of both veteran researchers born during the interwar period and their younger colleagues. Czech sociologists are mostly men, although this gender imbalance has declined. The demographics explain to some extent why the prosopography of Czech sociologists and the workings of the academic community in general are still profoundly influenced by the discontinuous and occasionally turbulent development of Czech sociology under the communist regime (1948-89); and its former ideological concerns and power interventions. This study shows that (a) sociologists often marry other sociologists, (b) a majority of Czech sociologists were born in university cities: places where they completed all of their academic education and thereafter embarked on a career and settled down. Unsurprisingly, there is a relatively low level of career movement among Czech sociologists: a trend which has only recently begun to change with increased opportunities for mobility through foreign fellowships. The academic interests of Czech sociologists are broad: tens of dozens of scholars are active in 45 subfields of research, and 10 other related academic disciplines. However, half of all Czech sociologists works in 8 sub-disciplines, including (in descending order) political sociology, gender studies, empirical research, social stratification, theoretical sociology, economic sociology, sociology of religion, and sociological methodology. One third of sociologists simultaneously work for two employers. Nevertheless, the community has not been overly active in terms of publications., a2_Every sixth sociologist has yet to publish a book; and half of them, including the holders of the very highest degrees have only one to three books to their names. The writing of the younger scholars is slightly more extensive, but this may well be the result of a “sampling error” and they – as well as other scholars today – prefer to write their own books or participate in edited proceedings to undertaking academic translations., Zdeněk R.

This paper deals with the representation of national and ethnic identity categories in media texts during the Population and Housing Census 2011. Census is understood here as means of constructing collective identities not as clearly pre-defined categories but as socially and media shaped parts of an individual identity. The aim of this study is thus to analyze media representations of Population and Housing Census 2011 as an event that highlights the negotiation of collective identities and the processes of the so called “identitary mobilization”. Quantitative analysis of selected articles from national newspapers enriched by findings of qualitative analysis of comments and videos from the new media shows, among others, that the Census is often represented through a kind of media discourse called national in this paper and that the processes of identitary mobilization acquire specific forms during the Census, although probably not limited to its actual period., Jitka Zalabáková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This article deals with the issue of pre -election polling and examines the methodological approaches used in pre -election polling in the Czech Republic. Aselection of Czech research agencies is presented and explored, as well as the recommendations of various professional associations. The core of this work examines and compares the methodological approaches used by the Czech agencies CVVM, ppm factum, Median and STEM. The aim of this article is to highlight the differences in the methodological approaches among the Czech agencies and to determine whether these differences could eventually affect the outcomes of pre -election polls., Kristýna Chábová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Strategiím prevence problémového hráčství se v posledních letech věnovala značná pozornost i úsilí. Rozvoj, realizace a hodnocení většiny těchto iniciativ však probíhaly živelně a nepříliš koordinovaně. Spíše než na základě prokázané vědecké účinnosti byla většina z nich zavedena, protože „se zdály jako dobrý nápad“ a/nebo se používaly jinde.
