This article discusses the prisonisation effect and the consequent responsibilisation of persons in and released from prison in the Czech Republic. Drawing on data from several research projects focused on the social circumstances of persons released from prison, the employability of imprisoned persons, and penitentiary and post-penitentiary care (94 semi-structured interviews and four focus groups conducted with people released from prison, and with social workers, prison staff, and other experts in the field), it is argued in the article that the high levels of recidivism and the overall marginal position of people after they are released from prison...

The article focuses on knowledge regimes within the normative discourse of the reform of Czech educational curricula. Engaging with the relational ontology of 'third-wave sociology of education', the article presents a qualitative analysis of strategic documents that sheds light on the divergent systems of reasons for particular educational changes. The research traced legitimising (justifying and criticising) strategies in authorised documents (governmental organisations) and non-authorised (NGOs and transnational organisations) in the 2010-2017 period. These findings point to the existence of several significantly divergent knowledge 'micro-regimes'...

Digitální stopa: Konec empirické sociologie?Stati

In the 20th century empirical sociology possessed innovative methodological resources that granted it fairly exclusive access to understanding human social life. However, with the advent of digital technologies and increasing migration into the online world, this privilege started to shift into the hands of commercial entities. People of the 21st century now generate data with every step they take (both physical and virtual), and most of the current internet business models are built on the collection, analysis, and commercial utilisation of such data. The 'Digital Trace Data' left behind by billions of online users present an unprecedented opportunity...

This article examines age homophily on a Czech online dating site using real user data. With a sample of 10 563 unique users and the aid of negative binomial regression, we test two hypotheses based on previous studies of online dating - namely, that men and women show different partner preferences with respect to age and that women in particular favour age homophily in their contacts. The model results support these hypotheses. Men are observed to prefer younger women, while women prefer men who are the same age or older than they are. Given that there are significantly fewer women on the dating site, they are the ones who choose, and the pairing...

A Self-determined Profession? Perceived Work Conditions and the Satisfaction Paradox among Czech Academic FacultyStati

Jiří Mudrák, Kateřina Zábrodská, Kateřina Machovcová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(3): 387-418 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.023  

While the Czech academic profession faces a range of challenges and problems, quantitative surveys indicate a relatively high level of high job satisfaction among academic faculty. This article addresses this ‘satisfaction paradox’ by exploring the perceived work conditions of Czech academics based on their own reports. The data for this study included academics’ (N = 1202) qualitative responses to open-ended questions regarding the main problems and benefits of their current academic work and workplace. Content analysis was used to categorise the respondents’ answers. Academics reported heavy workloads (26.5% of participants),...

Climate Change and the Transition Movement in Eastern Europe: The Case of Czech PermacultureStati

Marta Kolářová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(3): 363-386 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.022  

This paper focuses on a grassroots community movement addressing climate change: the transnational Transition (Towns) movement. While this movement has mainly spread to Anglophone countries, it is almost entirely absent from Eastern Europe and the Czech Republic in particular. The aim of this paper is to explain why the Transition movement—a grassroots community initiative—has not been successfully adopted in the post-socialist Czech Republic, and why the issue of climate change has not become an important frame for the local permaculture movement which introduced the idea of Transition to the country. The paper presents an analysis of...

Individual Experiences of Surveillance: Attitudes towards Camera Surveillance in SlovakiaStati

Martin Kovanič

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(3): 343-361 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.021  

After the fall of the communist regime, Slovakia saw the introduction and subsequent rapid growth of camera surveillance, particularly around the turn of the millennium. These developments occurred in a specific political, cultural, and historical context, which affects perceptions of and reactions to surveillance by individual citizens. The post-communist context is characterised by relatively low levels of resistance to the introduction of various technological surveillance mechanisms, including the rapid introduction of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) in public spaces. However, individuals who are under surveillance (surveilled subjects) are not...

Party Membership in Romania: Political Legitimacy, Party Finance and Organisational ChangesStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(3): 315-341 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.020  

The article retraces the contradictions between the regulations and the practices shaping Romanian party membership in order to show why and how membership decline became an electoral-driven strategy. It contrasts high membership figures, the dynamics of legal definitions of party membership, and party routines. The results indicate that the Romanian example is an atypical case of incongruence between organisational configurations and party models of ‘constitutionalisation’. The frailty of party organisations in this post-communist country depends not only on the broken linkages between state and society but also on exogenous factors, such...

The Electoral Success of the Extreme Right: Is the Presence of a Minority Important?Stati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(3): 291-313 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.019  

Anti-minority rhetoric as an almost universal feature of extremeright parties is often analytically and empirically linked to their electoral success. This article tests the link between the presence of an outgroup and the vote for the extreme right in an attempt to explain the electoral success of the first openly anti-system extreme-right party to enter the Slovak parliament in 2016. A multilevel approach is used to analyse the connection between Roma presence in a municipality and extreme-right support while controlling for the individual characteristics of voters. Analysis using exit-poll data covering 161 municipalities and 20 128 voters reveals...

„Vy, mladí Vietnamci (‚nenakažení‘), nás počeštěné banány prostě pochopit nemůžete“: Mladí Vietnamci a superdiverzifikace českého novomediálního prostoruStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(2): 229-257 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.008  

This article analyses media texts written in Czech by young Vietnamese from 2008 to 2017. It aims to: a) describe how the authors categorise themselves and determine whether they construct their identity as hybrid; and b) consider whether these texts contribute to the superdiversification of the Czech space. Three identity versions appear in the material: banana children, young ‘uninfected’ Vietnamese, and the younger generation of banana children (BC, YUV, and YG). BC emphasise the hybrid character of their identity, i.e. the necessity of using two languages and behaving in accordance with the norms of two ethnic societies in their everyday...

This article introduces the Czech version of the General Ethnicity Questionnaire (GEQ), which is designed to measure majority and minority cultural orientation. Cultural orientation includes different ways of behaving in various life domains (i.e. language use, eating habits, media preferences, or relationships) and attitudes (cultural pride and preference). The questionnaire was administered to two groups of Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic. The second-generation group (N = 279) is made up of ethnic Vietnamese who were born in the Czech Republic and the 1.5-generation group (N = 119) is formed by ethnic Vietnamese born in Vietnam who came to...

Single-child families are a phenomenon that, alongside childlessness, is contributing to the trend of declining fertility, especially in the countries of central and eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic. This article presents the results of a qualitative study based on problem-centred interviews with parents of a single child who had originally planned to have more children aimed at exploring their understanding of the main factors that led to them having one child, when two-child families are still the preferred normative model in Czech society. The analysis presents the main lines of argumentation that the respondents used to try to explain...

Kdo plánuje jedináčka a kdo chce zůstat bezdětný? Faktory ovlivňující nízké reprodukční plány mužů a ženStati

Remaining childless or having just one child are two different experiences and each is attached to a different social status. However, they can also be viewed through a unifying lens as phenomena that contribute to low fertility. Theories that seek to explain low fertility often attribute both phenomena to the same causes. This article examines what factors are connected to a person’s intention to remain childless or to have just one child and whether it is possible to consider intentions to remain childless or have just one child as low-fertility plans caused by the same factors. Drawing on data from the Life Course 2010 survey and theories...
