This article examines travel as a form of consumption behaviour. It begins by presenting some of the ideas outlined in Gilles Lipovetsky’s Le bonheur paradoxal. Then, using tourism statistics and statements of young people recorded in a qualitative study, it looks at how much Lipovetsky’s ideas can be inspirational for interpreting the attitudes of young Czechs towards travel.…

Kdo je mladý/střední/starý?

The aim of this study is to find out which characteristics affect the age identity of individuals.

Two alternative hypotheses were tested: a) the age identity is mainly influenced by person’s family and working roles b) the age identity is primarily a function of person’s chronological age and his health. While the second hypothesis understands the age identity as an ordinal variable, t…

Travestie show v kontextu sociální změny

Číslo bulletinu Gender, rovné příležitosti, výzkum, které se vám dostává do rukou, není tentokrát monotematicky zacíleno. Shodou okolností se zaměřuje paralelně na dvě oblasti, které jsou předmětem intenzivního výzkumu v české sociologii zabývající se genderovými vztahy. Tím prvním je sféra soukromého života – rodiny, partnerských vztahů a sexuality. Jedná se zejména o článek Kláry Kubíčkové o mateřských, pečujících otcích v České republice, o článek Mar…

Proč jsou kvóty strašákem?

The author addresses in the article the debate concerning the application of quotas for the assertion of equal representation of men and women in politics. She based her argument on the theory of Nancy Fraser and Iris Young. With reference to some practical and empirical mentions she argues for efficacy of quotas for assertion of parity of participation between women and men. In particular, she alerts to dilemma of difference which is ground in the ambiguous relation between assertion of neutral rule and the t…

K feministickému pojetí péče jako kritické kategorie sociální nerovnosti

The author of this article focuses on the theoretical framework of the concept of care as a critical category of social inequality in order to outline possibilities for a redefinition of the relationship between work and care. Gender inequalities as well as inequalities that are based on other social categories, such as class, ethnicity, nationality, geopolitical location, marital status, and so on are incorporated in the social organisation of care which retrospectively reinforces them. Feminist debate has th…
