Exploring biomedicalization through complementary and alternative medicine in a postsocialist context

Drawing on fieldwork in the postsocialist Czech Republic, we explore the transformative processes of biomedicalization, both within and in relation to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). We argue that it would be simplistic to understand evidence of these processes in CAM as a sign that CAM has fallen prey to biomedicine. Instead, we show how particular CAM practices play a groundbreaking role in shaping developments in contemporary health care. In this respect, we question the utility of the concept…

Frame Against the Grain: Asymmetries, Interference, and the Politics of EU Comparison.

A new collection that analyses how exactly comparison -- as a particular type of social scientific practice -- is done, while assessing some of its opportunities and limitations. It features case studies of comparative practices that range from colonial architecture, to hacking communities, to ranking practices in hospitals and academia, while also examining the practical challenges of achieving comparison. This might include the need to collaborate in teams or to stretch comparisons across time and space.Over…

Politika a každodennost na českých vysokých školách: Etnografické pohledy na vzdělávání a výzkum [Politics and everyday life in Czech universities: Ethnographic perspectives on teaching, learning and research]

This publication is the result of a three-year, team-based, ethnographic study of academic and student life in Czech higher education. Five case studies were chosen to reflect a diversity of situations, including elite and peripheral positions, metropolitan and regional locations, public and private legal status, humanities, applied social science, technical and natural science subjects, professional and academic curricula and basic and applied research. Although we collected several types of data (e.g. semi-s…

A tool for learning or a tool for cheating? The many-sided effects of a participatory student website in mass higher education

We study the rise of thewebsite as a bottom-up reaction to deficiencies in the educational process perceived bystudents, which has led to changes in some of the university’s educational pr…

Etnografie: Improvizace v teorii a terénní praxi [Ethnography: Improvisation in theory and fieldwork practice]

Kniha představuje etnografii jako komplexní metodologicko-teoretický přístup ke skutečnosti. Na rozdíl od většiny sociálně-vědních metodologií, nepovažuje etnografie problémy, s nimiž se výzkumníci a výzkumnice v terénu setkávají, za překážky, ale naopak za možný zdroj a prostředek poznávání. Nesourodost a mnohoznačnost skutečnosti, její neurčitosti, paradoxy a protiklady tvoří nedílnou součást pole zkoumání a žádají si tvůrčí přístupy k psaní a žánrový…
