Nation (Un)masked: Imagined Immunities and Responsible Citizenship in a Postsocialist Pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic revealed a dramatic need for modes of solidarity and responsibility that take into account welfare of others and simultaneously stem from the recognition of global co-dependency and shared vulnerabilities. Using the concepts of ‘imagined immunity’ and ‘competing responsibilities’, this article examines the ways in which experiences, skills and discourses of the socialist past were mobilized during the first year of the pandemic in the Czech Republic in diverse, often contradictory…

Nutritional Practices and Experiences of People on Vegan Diet with Healthcare System: A Qualitative Study

While the environmental and health-related benefits of plant-based diets are widely discussed in the media, people who follow these diets may lack professional support in terms of nutritional advice and even access to healthcare. The present study aims to map the nutritional practices and experiences with the healthcare system of people in Cz…

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Gender+ Inequalities in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia: The Heteronormativity of Anti- Pandemic Measures and Their Impact on Vulnerable Groups

Various research studies suggest that women and other vulnerable groups are the ones who were impacted most and who continue to suffer from the economic and social effects of the pandemic. However, these groups have often been omitted from the measures mitigating the pandemic impact due to their invisibility in the policy-knowledge nexus. This article draws on the findings from the international RESISTIRÉ research project, which focuses on how COVID-19 policies impacted gendered inequalities in Europe. Buildi…

Nevědění jako faktor v nepravidelné regulaci domácího násilí na ženách v zrcadle pandemie covidu-19

In this article, we interpret some of the findings from an extensive explorative qualitative study conducted from April to December 2020 that used semi-structured interviews, interviews with clients of an assistance-providing organisation, and analyses of concrete cases from the period of the first pandemic lockdown in the Czech Republic. Domestic violence, especially in the form of intimate partner violence against women, was expected to grow in intensity as a result of the social crisis triggered by the COVI…

Disability and the (dysbiotic) gut: Sensing, tasting and knowing with food

This article offers insights into eating practices, conceptualising and making of ‘good’ food by people living with chronic disease. Based on ethnographic research focussing on people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and undefined IBD) in the Czech Republic, we explore what it would mean to conceptualise disability from the non-normative gut. We trace the practices of tinkering with foods and one’s body, and ways of learning to sense (with) dysbiotic guts that people…

Sympoietic growth: living and producing with fungi in times of ecological distress

Drawing upon ethnographic research on human living and producing with fungi, and Haraway’s theorization of sympoiesis and the model ecosystems of mycorrhizae developed in current mycological research, we offer a concept of sympoietic growth. Sympoiesis is a concept that suggests a way of thinking about growth as a more-than-human process and provides an alternative political imaginary both to current forms of economic growth and to the idea of “degrowth.” We explore humanfungi co-operation in forests, an…

Právní aspekty problematiky genderově podmíněného násilí na vysokých školách

Genderově podmíněné násilí včetně sexuálního obtěžování jsou závažnými problémy, ke kterým dochází i ve vysokoškolském prostředí. Genderově podmíněné násilí má vážné dopady na studijní a pracovní výsledky osob, které jej zažívají, ale i na osoby, které jsou tomuto jednání vystavovány z pozice svědků. Proto NKC - gender a věda ve spolupráci s právničkou Šárkou Homfray připravilo příručku, která shrnuje právní aspekty této problematiky a může tak sl…

Better stories for a gender equal and fairer social recovery from outbreaks: learnings from the RESISTIRÉ project

The pandemic has radically shifted how society is organised, with increased work from home, home-schooling, and intensification of online presence, all with specific (un)intended implications on paid and unpaid care work. These implications, like those of other crises, are gendered and manifest along sex, age, disability, ethnicity/race, migration status, religion, social class, and the intersections between these inequalities. While many studies have identified these unequal and negative impacts, and point to…

Intermediation in design as a practice of institutioning and commoning

Design practices often involve grassroots communities and institutional actors with designers working as or with intermediaries. This paper defines intermediation as a significant design practice, especially when designers engage in commoning and institutioning—concepts that have gained traction in recent discourses in design scholarship. To discuss intermediation, the paper introduces two case studies: a community radio project in Europe and a food supply chain project between Australia and China. The two c…

Theoretically, using Feminist Institutionalism and the Science and Technology Studies concept of the trading zone, our objective is to analyse institutional negotiations among various,…

Guiding Principles for Participatory Design-inspired Natural Language Processing

We introduce 9 guiding principles to integrate Participatory Design (PD) methods in the development of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. The adoption of PD methods by NLP will help to alleviate issues concerning the development of more democratic, fairer, less-biased technologies to process natural language data. This short paper is the outcome of an ongoing dialogue between designers and NLP experts and adopts a non-standard format following previous work by Traum (2000) Bender (2013) Abzianidze and …

Land, Water and Sun: Tuning into Socio-Ecological Relations in Radio Design

Recent HCI scholarship has critiqued anthropocentrism in design as contributing to the ecological crisis. The current paper contributes theoretically and empirically to this area, adopting the lens of Socio-Ecological Relations, inspired by Environmental History and STS. We argue that a socio-ecological lens can offer practical tools to HCI and Interaction Design to overcome the separation between humanity and nature-as-a-resource. For this reason, our unit of analysis is humanity-in-nature and nature-in-human…

Násilí na ženách v souvislosti s covid-19

Výzkum na téma Násilí na ženách v souvislosti s COVID-19 vznikl jako reakce na nastalou pandemickou situaci v roce 2020. Díky tomu, že obě výzkumnice byly díky své předchozí činnosti v pravidelném kontaktu s nestátními neziskovými organizacemi, které se v oblasti domácího násilí pohybují – konkrétně Acorus, ROSA a proFem – se k nim záhy po začátku pandemie v roce 2020 dostaly informace o tom, jak nesourodé jsou informace o situaci uvnitř systému pomoci obětem domácího n…

Kutilství: Od „udělej si sám“ po DIY

Kniha vztahuje kutilství k obecnějším otázkám o současné společnosti, jejím vývoji a proměně a otevírá tak kutilství jako téma a terén, skrze který je možné tyto otázky nově nahlížet a zkoumat. Ukazuje, v čem a proč je kutilství zajímavé (nejen) pro společenskou vědu nikoli samo o sobě, ale jako prostředek, skrze který je možné lépe porozumět palčivým problémům současnosti. Jde tedy o knihu více teoreticky zaměřenou, jejíž kapitoly představují jednotlivá pole…
