Na křižovatce nerovností: gender, třída, rasa/etnicita

This article focuses on the intersection of gender, class and racial/ethnic inequalities.

The article develops thinking about various configurations of the intersection of inequalities and addresses mainly the case of marginalized women. However, the argument goes that the intersection of gender, class and racial/ethnic inequalities is not just a matter for disadvantaged gr…

Od globálního sesterství k transnacionálnímu feminismu: výzvy ženskému hnutí ve formě kulturních odlišností a nerovností mezi ženami

Transnational feminism has become a significant global actor in recent decades, but it is not unanimous. Imperial tendencies of western feminists to influence women in other cultures have already appeared in the history of the feminist movement. Criticism of white Euro-American feminism, especially in the form of global sisterhood, has reached a peak in the past three decades, especially in international fora. Anti-colonial feminists have complained about the racist and orientalist practices of American femini…

Influence and Marginality in Formalized and Informal Czech Women´s Civic Organizing

V článku se autorky zabývají tím, jakými způsoby ovlivňují sponzoři fungování českých ženských občanských skupin a organizací. Autorky analyzují vztah mezi organizovanými aktivitami a neformální podporou těchto skupin a organizací v postsocialistické ČR. Ačkoliv dokumentují zvyšující se tlak na formalizaci ženských občanských skupin, zaznamenávají také přetrvávající důležitost neformálních vztahů a osobních kontaktů pro úspěch ženských NNOs i neformálních…

Fairies and Fighters: Gendered Tactics of the Alter-Globalisation Movement in Prague (2000) and Genoa (2001)

Focusing mainly on two transnational collective actions in Prague in 2000 and in Genoa in 2001, the research draws on participant observation, interviews with activists and analysis of the movement's alternative media.

Sexuality Issues in the Czech Anarchist Movement

Sexuality Issues in the Czech Anarchist Movement

This paper focuses on the contemporary Czech anarchist movement''s relation to sexuality. Sexuality issues were for a long time absent or marginalized in the movement however, in the last years, the issue started to be addressed. I draw on my ethnographical study based on participant observation, analysis of the media of the movement and interviews with activists. Since the early 1990s, the movement was male dominated and strictly heterosexual where sexual relationships served as a mobilization of girls/women …

Postavení žen v české vědě. Monitorovací zpráva za rok 2014

Postavení žen v české vědě. Monitorovací zpráva za rok 2014

Zpráva konstatuje, že trend zvyšování zastoupení mužů v dnes již velmi maskulinizovaném výzkumu nadále pokračuje a že se také zvyšuje horizontální segregace jak v oblasti sektorů provádění výzkumné práce, tak z hlediska oborů. V roce 2014 bylo zastoupení žen mezi výzkumníky nejnižší od roku 2001, dostáhlo jen 27,2 %. V podnikatelském a vysokoškolském sektoru zastoupení žen mezi výzkumníky klesá, stejně jako v technických, přírodních a humanitních vědách. Roste …

Geografie výsledků parlamentních voleb: prostorové vzorce volebního chování v Česku 1992-2013

Geografie výsledků parlamentních voleb: prostorové vzorce volebního chování v Česku 1992-2013

Volby do Poslanecké sněmovny Parlamentu České republiky jsou většinou voličů považovány za nejdůležitější z voleb, protože se při nich rozhoduje o budoucím složení vlády. Bývá v nich proto také vyšší volební účast než v jiných volbách. Protože poskytují detailní informace o volebním chování v každé z více než 6000 českých, moravských a slezských obcí, jsou volební data zvláště vhodná ke zkoumání regionálních rozdílů volebního chování a jejich prom…

Vliv nízké pracovní intenzity na chudobu v České republice a Slovenské republice

While poverty has long been a phenomenon closely related to the life cycle of family, in recent decades is increasingly dependent on the economic participation of household members. In addition, this change in post-communist countries is associated with the economic and social transformation, which has led to an increasing income inequality. The study of relationships between work intensity and poverty is only at its beginning in transition countries. Using statistical surveys EU-SILC we analyse the specific e…

The reurbanisation concept and its utility for contemporary research on post-socialist cities: The case of the Czech Republic

The reurbanisation concept and its utility for contemporary research on post-socialist cities: The case of the Czech Republic

The concept of reurbanisation is discussed in this article from theoretical and methodological perspectives. Reurbanisation has been defined as one of the stages of urban development recently, but it is also tied to processes of gentrification, or perceived as a policy aimed at the revitalisation of inner cities. The main objective of this contribution is to discuss three principal and different perspectives of reurbanisation: firstly, reurbanisation as defined on the macro-scale of settlement system developme…

Analýza chybějících hodnot. Srovnání metod při zkoumání determinantů politické znalosti a příjmu

V dotazníkových šetřeních respondenti často odmítají odpovídat na některé otázky (např. osobní příjem). Vybraná místa datové matice tak neobsahují platné hodnoty.

Vlastní simulační studie pak na praktických příkladech detailně ilustrují výhody a nevýhody jednotlivých metod. Použití nevhodné metody přitom může …
