Kvantitativní a kvalitativní přístupy ve výzkumu životních drah

Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches in Life Course ResearchAbstract: Despite the growing number of statistical analyses of life-history data and a long tradition of biographical research, there is often no communication between these two streams of life-course research. It is possible to examine the life course quantitatively through life histories, which may be used to model synthetic biographies in order to reveal patterns in the timing and sequencing of life events, the durations of states between them,…

Hegel a perspektiva dialektického pojmu zkušenosti

Cílem článku je prozkoumat Hegelovu koncepci dialektiky a určit, které její prvky pronikají do pozice hermeneutické fenomenologie, v níž se, zvláště díky H.-G. Gadamerovi, pojem dialektičnosti zkušenosti stal důležitou součástí teorie rozumění. Článek vychází z přesvědčení, že motivy platónské dialektiky působí v hermeneutice společně s motivy Hegelovy dialektiky, jež svůj smysl čerpají z vývojové souvislosti moderní filozofie. V článku se proto jak Hegelovou kon…

I would take any job, but…: Biographies of low-educated women at the intersection of class and gender

I would take any job, but…: Biographies of low-educated women at the intersection of class and gender

The paper analyses the biographies of women at the intersection of class and gender in the Czech Republic. With the transition towards a market-based economy and a decrease in the symbolic capital of workers in the blue-collar and service fields, and in the context of a familialist social policy and a labour market that discourages a combination of paid employment and care responsibilities, women with low education find themselves in the secondary labour market and exposed to gender discrimination. We illustra…

"Family Policies in ‘Hybrid’ Welfare States after the Crisis: Pathways Between Policy Expansion and Retrenchment”

"Family Policies in ‘Hybrid’ Welfare States after the Crisis: Pathways Between Policy Expansion and Retrenchment”

The economic crisis has significantly challenged national welfare states and has often led to retrenchment. The question arises how countries have reacted to the crisis in the area of family policy – not directly connected to rising unemployment and also not as demanding for state spending as for example the pension system. This article analyzes family policy reforms during the crisis in three small European welfare states – Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Focusing on the ‘rationale’ behind t…

Larp as an Alternative Medium: A Sociological Perspective

The aim of the paper is to introduce larp (short for live action roleplay) as an alternative form of medium. I argue that larping has grown into a quite specific medium with a unique combination of characteristics however, it is still on the borders of game, improvised drama, artistic happening and experience education. I show how participants are encouraged to escape reality, explore it, how they are exposed to it or even how they could change it. Finally, I focus on the possibilities and limitations of…

Introduction to the Management of Social Survey Data

Introduction to the Management of Social Survey Data

Although the construction of databases, data processing, documentation and other operations with data may have a fundamental influence on research results, the management of data rarely receives attention as a separate subject in the methodology and practice of survey research. More often it gains attention only in the form of individual and isolated tasks during different stages of the research process. This, however, might pose a problem, because there are ample good reasons for paying attention to data mana…
