Th e article reads the Czech literary canon during the period from 1948 to 1989 not from a consciously feminist standpoint, but from a gender perspective. Following works of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Wendy Brown, the article’s primary focus is on fi ction written by dissent and alternative writers, with an emphasis on their role in what the author calls “dispositives of silence,” consisting of the discursive emergence of silencing and the aff ective dimension of “injurious attachments.” Th e article holds that while the dissident and alternative literary scene’s opposition to the then-offi cial regime made the need for political opposition clearly visible to it, other issues, such as the drive towards gender equality, became invisible to it, which represents a case of injurious attachments. In the article’s interpretative part, it reads literary works by writers Iva Pekárková, Tereza Boučková, and Pavel Kohout as examples that illustrate the issue of injurious attachments. In the article’s fi nal part, it supplements its thesis on dissident and alternative literature of the 1948–1989 period with a brief sketch of the literary evolution during the period, and it presents an overview of fi ve major – and partly contradictory – tendencies that can be identifi ed in the four decades in question.
Článok poukazuje na často nereflektované nedostatky diagnostických nástrojov používaných pri štúdiu gendrovej identity. Pozornosť je venovaná predovšetkým vzniku a konštrukčným obmedzeniam najrozšírenejšieho nástroja používaného pre tento účel - Bem Sex Role Inventory. Jeho využitie je založené na eoretických predpokladoch, ktoré nikdy neboli úspešne empiricky overené. Hoci jeho kritika bola v tomto duchu formulovaná už pred 30 rokmi, dodnes sa táto nevalidná technika používa v rade aktuálnych výskumov. V druhej časti článku sú predstavené alternatívne techniky merania gendrovej identity založené na diskriminačnej analýze a teste implicitných asociácií., The paper highlights the often not reflected weaknesses of diagnostic tools used in the study of masculinity and feminity. Attention is paid mainly to structural limitations of the tool most widely used for this purpose - Bem Sex Role Inventory. Its use is based on theoretical assumptions that have never been successfully empirically verified. Although criticism of Bem Sex Role Inventory has been formulated more than 30 years ago, this technique is still used in a number of recent studies. In the second part alternative measurement techniques are presented. These are based on discriminant analysis and the implicit association test., Marek Vranka., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
