The Unbearable Lightness of Moving: Czech Migrants Making a Home (or Not) in the UK

Kristýna Janurová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(3): 315-342 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.3.409

This article builds on the emerging tradition of transnationalism in migration research, which considers both migrants' 'making a home' in their host societies and their continued attachments to their places of origin as parallel processes. It examines the factors that influence migrants' simultaneous negotiation of 'belonging' in the home and host societies. This question is particularly significant in the 'liquid' context of free intra-EU mobility. The analysis is based on semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted in 2014-2016 with 41 Czech migrants who had moved to the United Kingdom in 1990-2015. Building on existing research of Central and...

Academia without Contention? The Legacy of Czechoslovak Ethnography and Folklore Studies in Czech Anthropology

Nikola Balaš

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(3): 343-370 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.3.410

One issue of the post-socialist transformation of Czech higher education has been the many attempts to establish an independent discipline of sociocultural anthropology. As many observers noted, the establishment of a fully-fledged Czech anthropology after the collapse of communism in 1989 proved to be a rather difficult task. Many accounts offered various explanations for the uneasy state of emerging Czech anthropology, but none of them focused on the specific academic practices that anthropology inherited from its predecessor-Czechoslovak ethnography. While anthropological names, books, and theories entered wide circulation and have become a regular...

The Mid-week Effect and Why Thursdays Are Blue: The Weekly Rhythm of Satisfaction in Hungary

Tamás Keller

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(3): 371-400 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.3.411

Research on the weekly fluctuation in people's satisfaction has produced mixed results about the nadir of levels of satisfaction in different countries. This paper uses a Hungarian household survey with approximately 3400 individual observations. The fluctuation in satisfaction over the course of the week is assessed according to the day on which the personal interview was conducted during a six-week period of fieldwork. The analysis investigates the extent to which this is the result of a random process. Unlike previous analysis, the nadir in satisfaction (in Hungary) is found to occur midweek. This is explained as being related to workload. The results...
