Bydlení mladých v době krize

Jednou z řady krizí, které v současnosti čelí – nejen česká – společnost, je i krize bydlení. Ceny bytů a domů, ale i nájmů raketově rostou a bydlení se stává stále hůře dostupným. Možnost pořídit či zajistit si bydlení se přidává k řadě dalších omezení, jež se propisují do již existujících společenských nerovností a dále je prohlubují. Zároveň se nedostupnost bydlení stává palčivým problémem zejména, i když nikoli výhradně pro mladé lidi, kteří s…

Reasoning behind choices: rationality and social norms in the housing market behaviour of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic

We focus on the role of within-family socialisation and the relationship between socialisation and resource transfers in the intergenerational transmission of housing preferences, the formation of familial housing attitudes and thus the reproduction of a normative housing tenure ladder across generations in Czech society. We show that resource transfers and the within-family socialisation of housing preferences, including preferences concerning housing tenure, are closely interconnected. In other words, parent…

Pražská panelová sídliště jako místa protikladů

Pražská panelová sídliště jsou místa, kde se protíná mnoho protikladů: na jednu stranu jsou ceněna pro to, že zajistila praktické a relativně málo nákladné bydlení pro velký počet obyvatel, na druhou stranu byla často kritizována pro mnoho dílčích nedostatků i pro svůj celkový urbanistický koncept. Pro své obyvatele se mohou zdát jako místa, která se příliš nemění, místa, která jsou v jistém smyslu známá a obyčejná. Tato zdánlivá neměnnost se projevuje předevš…

Kutilství: Od „udělej si sám“ po DIY

The book Bricolage: From “self-led manual projects” to DIY connects bricolage (kutilství) with broad questions regarding today´s society, its development and change. It treats bricolage as a topic and research terrain that allows us to shed new light on these issues. The book shows what makes bricolage interesting for social sciences not (just) per se but as a means to understanding today´s pressing issues. Its chapters focus on individual fields of research interest showing how bricolage can help to im…

Kutilství... DIY

Kutilství jako svépomocná tvorba nejběžnějších praktických, nejrůznějších dekorativních i neobvyklých specializovaných předmětů představuje nedílnou součást moderní společnosti. Když se pozorně rozhlédneme, nalezneme stopy kutilství všude kolem nás, v domácnostech, na zahradách i ve veřejném prostoru. Kutilství má mnoho podob a patří do něj nejrůznější manuální výrobní činnosti, které mohou z řady důvodů vykonávat v různých situacích různí lidé s růz…

Zahrádkové osady jako prostor soukromý, veřejný, nebo jiný? O neoliberalizaci správy městského prostoru

The chapter draws on an example of the negotiation of the fate of urban gardening in allotments in post-socialist Prague in order to question the public-private dichotomy and argues that urban spaces need to be understood and managed as a hybrid space.…

Socialistické průmyslové město ve fotografii: dva pohledy na proměny ideologické konstrukce

The study discusses the image of the city of Ostrava in photographic publications issued in the period of state socialism and aimed to capture and present the daily life of an exemplary industrial socialist city. The study offers a critical understanding of the socialist city as a visual construct communicating the ideological contents and reflecting their (historical) transformations, based on the example of the two key themes of visual representation – the urban space and the role of men and women in this …

Domov jako konceptuální rámec, téma i výzkumný terén: vývoj i současná podoba studií domova

Over the past thirty years there has been a substantial change in how home is understood in the social sciences. While it is still possible to discern the influence of phenomenology on contemporary thinking about home, the studies presently at the forefront of the geography, anthropology, and sociology of home largely reflect the impact of critical social theory and the cultural and spatial turn in the social sciences, and they have also made the lines between these disciplines blurrier. This article primarily…

The Urbanization of Nature in a (Post)Socialist Metropolis: An Urban Political Ecology of Allotment Gardening

In this article we explore how nature becomes part of the city through the example of allotment gardening in the city of Prague, in the Czech Republic. Prague allotments were established based on an ongoing political‐ecological process of urbanization of nature that was locally driven by socialist (from 1948 to 1989) and later neoliberal governance. We employ a situated urban political ecology (UPE) approach to analyse changes in the planning of allotments and the impact thereof on the experience of gardener…

Between roots and rhizomes: Towards a post-phenomenology of home

Humanistic and phenomenological scholarship has long tended to regard home as a fundamental place of existential and experiential stability. In recent times, the notion of home has been critically re‐examined, however, and home is now regarded as a more complex and multi‐faceted phenomenon. Drawing on interviews with prospective buyers in two cities of the Czech Republic, I explore the complexity of home and pay particular attention to the internal tensions and paradoxes of home as imagined by people buyin…

Reasoning behind choices: rationality and social norms in the housing market behaviour of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic

The main objective of this paper is to draw attention to the influence of social norms on housing market behaviour. The research is based on an in-depth qualitative study of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic. We found systemic deviations from economically rational behaviour (as defined by mainstream housing economic theory) that stem from the influence of a dominant housing social norm about what constitutes the ‘right’ housing tenure. We show how the influence of a social norm constrains financial, …

Kutilství: drobná mozaika svépomocné tvorby

Even though the DIY movement is starting to garner more attention from scholars abroad, it has yet to receive much attention from Czech scholars. The book DIY: a fine mosaic of self-led making represents an effort to bridge that gap at least in part, and to offer the first comprehensive view of DIY (kutilství in Czech) as an intriguing phenomenon that is practiced extensively and which has a distinct history and vibrant presence. Thus, this book is the first complex attempt at defining what DIY is in the Czec…

Staying in a fallout shelter: exploring ostalgia through post-socialist heterotopia.

This article details our attempts at making sense of an ostalgic heterotopic space. We relay here our analysis of staying in and exploring a disused air raid shelter built during WWII, converted into a fallout shelter at the beginning of the Cold War and recently repurposed in an anti-communist museum/tourist hotel/ostalgic canteen called 10Z Bunker. As we enter the subterranean tunnels packed with memorabilia from an indistinct ‘past’, we strive to shed some light on the dim heterotopic space we found. We…

Mobilities and commons unseen: spatial mobility in homeless people explored through the analysis of GPS tracking data

The aim of this study was to examine the spatial mobility of homeless people in urban areas, exploring homeless mobility, its drivers, limits and links to personal attributes, and whether there is an association between the extent of spatial activity and an individual’s housing situation. To our knowledge, there has been no prior exhaustive attempt to explore the spatial mobility of homeless people using Global Positioning System (GPS) location devices. The theoretical background of the research was…

Activity spaces of men and women measured by GPS tracking data: A comparative analysis of Prague and Pilsen

The aim of this article is to investigate the factors that influence the size of activity spaces of homeless men and women in cities. Vulnerable population groups such as the homeless face the risk of mobility challenges that can exacerbate their social exclusion even more through mobility-driven spatial exclusion. The extent of an individual’s activity space is a key precondition for the daily coping strategies and life opportunities of homeless people. This study is the first to combine GPS tracking of hom…

Žít (mezi) místy: Geografie lidí bez domova

Časoprostor bývá základní konceptuální optikou, jakou je v sociálních vědách na bezdomovectví nahlíženo. Většina studií věnovaných vztahu bezdomovectví a časoprostoru ale chápe tento vztah nediferencovaně, tzn., dle našeho názoru dostatečně neproblematizuje jeho individuální, skupinové či lokálně-podmíněné vnímání, praktikování a prožívání. A přitom rozdíly jsou ve studiu (časoprostoru) lidí bez domova extrémně důležité. Důraz na porozumění rozdílům, …

Urban Political Ecology of Worth and Value: Enacting Allotments in Media Discourse

In this article, we propose to expand the field of urban political ecology (UPE) by analyzing the role of discourse in the production of urban nature. We exemplify our case by analyzing media discourses and exploring discursive modes of justification and hierarchies of worth mobilized in socialist and postsocialist struggles over allotments in what is now the Czech Republic. We unravel particular discursive strategies and arguments used to depoliticize the struggle and justify the abolishment of allotments. Us…

Mezi taktikou a afektem, ne-místem a místem: Vizuální analýza každodenní geografie osob bez domova

The article uses photovoice to explore the everyday geography of homelessness and its affective dimension. We focus on two aspects of the everyday geography captured by photovoice: (1) movement in space and (2) the performativity of heterotopic places. The aim is to understand how the research partners as actors (re)present and (re)construct their everyday geography by visual means and how they relate to it affectively (or otherwise). Photovoice is a suitable method for this type of research as it has been use…
