Inner Peripheries in the Czech Republic: The Multidimensional Nature of Social Exclusion in Rural Areas

Josef Bernard, Martin Šimon

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(1): 3-28 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.1.299  

The spatial concentration of social disadvantage in rural areas not only poses a risk to social cohesion but also represents a challenge for public policy. This article draws on a multidimensional concept of disadvantage to study spatial aspects of disadvantage in Czech rural areas. Current studies aimed at identifying 'inner peripheries' as areas with an increased risk of social exclusion fail to distinguish between different forms of disadvantage. Their methodological approach blends regions struggling with various problems into one category. Contesting the one-dimensionality of peripheries, this article presents an alternative approach that allows...

The Circle of Sociological Rationality: The Position of the Sociologist from a Hermeneutical Perspective

Martin Ďurďovič

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(1): 29-50 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.1.301  

The aim of the article is to apply the concept of the hermeneutical circle to the position of a sociologist. The hermeneutical problem in sociology is exemplified by research into social action that examines how sociological understanding captures meanings attributed to the action by the actors themselves. Although several distinguished theorists have already introduced the idea of hermeneutics into sociology, none of them pursued the topic of the hermeneutical circle in detail. This article applies the hermeneutical circle to sociology through the concepts of 'pre-understanding' and the 'fusion of horizons'. The analysis results in the acknowledgement...

A Gender Perspective on Newsroom Culture and Working Conditions: The Case of a Regional Czech Television News Desk

Daniela Vajbarová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(1): 51-78 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.1.302  

This case study concerns the characteristics of journalistic newsroom culture of a regional news desk of Czech Television, a public-service broadcaster. It seeks to explore the attributes that each of the two news desk editors promote in relation to newsroom culture and whether they are gender specific. The article also discusses whether newsroom culture constructs the same working conditions for male and female journalists. The article draws on theories developed in media and journalism studies and especially the theories and empirical findings of feminist media scholars regarding newsroom culture and the status of male and female journalists in the...

Home Schooling as an Expression of Cultural Creativism

Irena Kašparová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(1): 79-100 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.1.303  

The article reflects on whether and when it is possible to see home schooling as a reflection of cultural creativism as defined by Ray and Anderson. The heterogeneous nature of home schooling is explored here through the theoretical frame of the anthropology of education, with a more narrow focus on different parental ethnotheories (Harkness and Super) and the theory of capital (Bourdieu). Set against primary research, represented by two case studies, the article shows how families that practise home schooling enter the game of capital, how they justify their decisions, and how they negotiate their difference. Based on personal practice these families...
