The National Contexts of Post-national Citizenship
Mitja Hafner-Fink, Brina Malnar, Samo Uhan
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2013, 49(6): 867-902 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2013.49.6.01
The article contributes to the literature on the changing concept of citizenship in the process of globalisation. It sets out from the thesis that the classic concepts of citizenship, which are linked to the nation state, are slowly but steadily losing their monopoly on explaining the relationship between individuals, the political community and government. Based on a theoretical discussion of the new models of citizenship, the authors seek to identify the elements of 'post-national' citizenship. The main research goal of the analysis is to discover the conditions in which elements of post-national citizenship are most likely to occur. The analysis...
Gender-Specific Effectiveness of the Unplugged Prevention Intervention in Reducing Substance Use among Czech Adolescents
Petr Novák, Michal Miovský, Jiří Vopravil, Roman Gabrhelík, Lenka Šťastná, Lucie Jurystová
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2013, 49(6): 903-926 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2013.49.6.02
Impact evaluations of the school-based Unplugged prevention intervention have shown it to have a measurably positive preventive effect on the Czech school population, but only limited data are available to identify its effectiveness in gender-specific terms. This article seeks to determine the gender-specific effectiveness of this drug prevention programme. The authors conducted a randomised trial of the programme on a total of 1874 children (with a mean age of 11.8 years). They collected data using a questionnaire from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs. Baseline testing was conducted among sixth-grade students immediately...
Slovenians Offline: Class and Cultural Aspects of Digital Exclusion
Tanja Oblak Črnič
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2013, 49(6): 927-950 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2013.49.6.03
This article seeks to identify who in Slovenia remains digitally offline and how such a status relates to socio-demographic factors (e.g. gender, age and education), class and cultural capital. The author assumes that the absence of new technology should be addressed in relation to existing patterns of cultural consumption and media preferences, and she attempts to understand the problem of digital exclusion within the context of other types of structural inequalities. Since digital technology is understood not just as a technical tool but as a social phenomenon directly related to everyday practices, the individual's class position and cultural capital,...

Lewis A. Coser-A Stranger within More Than One Gate
Christian Fleck
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2013, 49(6): 951-968 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2013.49.6.04
This article presents a short portrait of Lewis A. Coser (1913-2003), the American sociologist who became renowned as one of the founders of 'conflict sociology'. Born in Berlin, Coser had to leave his homeland for political reasons and he spent the years before Nazi Germany's invasion of France in Paris. Coser then fled to the United States and started his academic career there at the College of the University of Chicago. An abridged version of the PhD thesis he wrote at Columbia University was published as The Functions of Social Conflict, which earned him recognition, a promotion, and made him a figure of authority for sociologists in the 1960s....
Contemporary Greedy Institutions: An Essay on Lewis Coser's Concept in Times of the 'Hive Mind'
Marianne Egger de Campo
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2013, 49(6): 969-988 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2013.49.6.05
Lewis Coser perennially discussed various forms and facets of 'greedy institutions' with their total grasp on the individual. Coser's 'greedy institutions' demand undivided time and loyalty from the individual who will voluntarily devote him/herself for exclusive benefits only granted to loyal followers. Although the ancient authorities have vanished-princes with their court Jews, masters with their servants, or religious and political missionaries- one can argue that the idea of the greedy institution is far from obsolete today. Management consultants, 24/7 old-age carers from Eastern Europe and particularly the 'hive mind' of new social media show...
