Interrupce v socialistickém Československu z foucaultovské perspektivy

Článek analyzuje právní a politickou regulaci umělého přerušení těhotenství z perspektivy Foucaultovy teorie gouvernementality a bio-moci. Regulace potratů je představena jako příklad způsobu, jakým státní moc ovlivnovala a disciplinovala těla svých subjektů, jakým regulovala populace a tvarovala ji ve shodě s potřebami vlády. …

Genderové souvislosti reforem důchodového systému v ČR

The paper discusses changes that have occurred in the Czech pension system since 1996 in terms of their gender impact. The pension system is considered in a broader socio-economic context. I take into account different working careers of men and women and their unequal share in unpaid care work. I analyse individual steps of the reform (the criteria for entitlement to a retirement pension, changes in the mechanism for calculating pension benefits, and the newly established private second pillar) and show the i…

Regulation of Abortion as State-Socialist Governmentality: The Case of Czechoslovakia

In the countries of the former Eastern bloc (and the USSR), abortion politics followed a different historical path than in Western Europe. In Czechoslovakia, abortion was made legal relatively early on, almost as soon as the social and political turmoil that followed World War II and the communist coup in 1948 had settled. Unlike in Western Europe, however, it was not legalized in response to pressure from civil society or the feminist movement. It was a bureaucratic decision made in relation to specific macro…

The framing of abortion in the Czech Republic: the continuity of discourse and development of institutions

Abortion was first legalised in Czechoslovakia at a relatively early date – in 1957. However, unlike in Western Europe, this did not occur as a result of pressure from civil society and the feminist movement. While attempting to explain the continuity and change of abortion institutions in the former Czechoslovakia /Czech Republic, the article focuses on the framing of the debates that preceded the changes in abortion legislation in the Czech Republic since the 1950s. Discourse analysis of media and expert a…

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…

Živitelé a živitelky: reflexe (a) praxe

Authors use an analysis of 61 semi-structured interviews with parents from 26 families.…
