Hledání stop sociologie v nesociologických vědách

Kniha, jež vznikla v rámci projektu „Dějiny a současnost české sociologie“, zkoumá vliv sociologie na jiné vědní obory (případně vliv oboustranný), a to specificky v Českých zemích, resp. Československu a České republice. Zabývá se doposud nepříliš prozkoumanou problematikou vlivu sociologie (a to primárně sociologie české) na vybrané vědní obory v českém prostředí, její intervence a vstupování do nich: konkrétně do uměnovědných oborů, etologie a archeologie.

Gender a rovnováha moci

In the Czech Republic, women are severely under-represented in decision-making positions. Women make up only 26% of legislators, senior officials and managers, and only 3% of employed women are employed in management positions. These figures have not changed significantly over time. Gender equality infrastructure is almost wholly limited to the central level (Government and Ministries) in the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic there is currently no legislation or policy aimed at achieving a gender bala…

Frauenerwerbsarbeit, Familienpolitik und Kinderbetreuung. Frühkindliche Betreuung und Bildung in der tschechischen Gesellschaft nach 1945

In this chapter the author has argued that there were four critical junctures that institutionalized a specific path of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in the Czech Republic. Its four critical junctures led to the institutionalization of a specific division of rules and concepts regarding “adequate” ECEC. The already established path of childcare and pre-school education policy places clear limits on the development of new policies.…

Neznámé počátky české sociální psychologie. Otakar Machotka: Úloha nevědomého činitele ve společenském chování

Although it is generally considered that the study of social psychology in the then Czechoslovakia commenced in the 1960s, the author here establishes the importance of the virtually forgotten earlier years of the discipline. The first Czech student of social psychology was a prominent sociologist and member of the Prague sociological school, Otakar Machotka (1899-1970), whose interest in matters psychological commenced in the 1940s and whose research into the subject continued during his period of exile in Am…

The Divisions of Labour and Responsibilities in Business and Home among Women and Men Copreneurs in the Czech Republic

Our chapter focuses on an underrepresented topic in entrepreneurial research: small businesses owned and operated by copreneurs. We examine the divisions of labour and responsibilities in the business and family lives of copreneurs in today's Czech Republic (CR). Copreneurs are romantic couples who own and operate small businesses together. Copreneurs provide a good point for unpacking the interplay among business, family life, and gender. We analyse interview narratives from 12 CR copreneur couples wherein ea…

Genderové inovace v malém podnikání. Strategie kombinace práce a rodiny v podnikatelských párech

Using the so-called embeddedness perspective, this article highlights the importance of context (time, space and institutions) for the direction of current research on the gender structure of entrepreneurship. The authors focus mainly on the effects of institutional context, namely tax and family policies, on business couples (copreneurs). The emphasis is on how these factors and formal institutions, which are reflected in informal gender norms, influence the work-life balance strategies of copreneurs. Based o…

Baťov 1940 – první český empiricky podložený výzkum v oblasti sociologie práce

There is a forgotten chapter in (history of) the Czech sociology of work.

One of the leading ﬁ gures of early Czech sociology, Machotka saw the closure of Czech universities during the Second World War as an opportunity to carry out original empirical research devoted to the sociological analysis of the workforce and consisting of a study of the social determination of work…

Formování komunit, nebo sociální integrace? Analýza personálních sítí ukrajinských imigrantů v Plzni

Nejpočetnější cizineckou minoritou současné České republiky jsou Ukrajinci. Dle Českého statistického úřadu jich na území ČR pobývá 105 239 (ČSÚ k 31. 12. 2013). Tradičně se koncentrují do velkých měst a jsou zaměstnáváni v manuálních profesích. Od příjezdu prvních pracovníků se ovšem řada aspektů jejich migrace změnila. Například vedle původní cirkulační, resp. podvojné životní strategie, lze stále více zaznamenat zájem o usazení v ČR. Cílem tohoto textu …

Demokratie im Dorf - Demokratiequalität in kleinen Schweizer Gemeinden

The scholarly debate on size-specific features of local democratic systems is inconclusive. Contradictory arguments concerning size effects have been formulated for three normative qualities of democracy – participation, accountability and representation and for system capacity. It has been argued that increasing municipal size has the potential to improve the democratic process, but also that municipal fragmentation is the basis for quality of democracy at the local level. The relations between size, system…
