This book is a contribution to general social theory. The arguments herein are guided by two interests. On the one hand is the interest in the topic of intersubjectivity in sociology. Research on the intersubjectivity of understanding, which is the precondition for the coordination of action among individuals, offers an alternative to the frequently discussed dilemma of individualism versus holism. On the other hand, there is the interest in hermeneutics as studied in philosophy. In research on intersubjectivi…

Trust in Transition: Culturalist and institutionalist debate reflected in the democratization process in the Czech Republic 1991-2008

On the basis of the discussion between cultural and institutional theories, and taking into account the specific development in post-communist countries, we study three elements of the democratic system - specifically, social trust, institutional trust, and systemic trust (legitimacy of democracy). Using data from the European Values Study, conducted in 1991, 1999 and 2008, we analyze the roots of institutional trust and systemic trust (i.e. popular support for democracy) in the three distinct stages of transi…

Rotunda, jatka, loď – sakrální krajina Prahy: Vývoj sakrálních staveb v Praze v dynamice společenského vývoje

Přestože se více než 80 % obyvatel Prahy neidentifikuje s žádnou církví ani náboženskou společností, díky bohatému historickému vývoji spjatému s katolicismem je sakrální krajina města velmi pestrá. Dominance katolicismu je sice patrná dodnes, nicméně hlavně v průběhu 20. století se začaly výrazně pluralizovat nejen náboženské tradice, které v Praze působí, ale i samotná funkce sakrálních staveb. Právě vývoj sakrální krajiny v Praze, jeho dynamika, proměny a důsle…

Lost in transition, found in recession? Satisfaction with democracy in Central Europe before and after economic crises

For decades, research on democracy has produced evidence that the peoples of countries in Central Europe are less satisfied with the way democracy works in their countries than people in Western Europe. Using the data from the European Social Survey (ESS) I explore, how satisfaction with the way democracy works (SWD) changed in these countries between 2004 and 2014 and test the impact of satisfaction with the present state of the economy and trust in parliament on SWD. Results of the analysis reveal that peopl…

Situating biologies of traditional Chinese medicine in Central Europe

Since the concept of ‘local biologies’ was proposed in the 1990s, it has been used to examine biosocial processes that transform human bodies in similar and different ways around the globe. This paper explores understandings of biosocial differentiation and convergence in the case of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Czech Republic. Specifically, it examines how Czech TCM practitioners view TCM as universally applicable while fine-tuning it to situated biosocial conditions, experimenting with the c…

How not to scare off women: different needs of female early-stage researchers in STEM and SSH fields and the implications for support measures

Women researchers are underrepresented in almost all research fields. There are disciplinary differences in the phase in which they tend to quit their academic career in the natural and technical sciences (STEM) it is in the postdoctoral phase, whereas in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) it is during the doctoral phase. This is indicative of disciplinary differences in the barriers women face in their careers. Related studies on these barriers are more numerous in the STEM field, which in turn limits t…
