The Views of Parents Who Reject Compulsory Vaccination: A Case Study of the Crisis of Trust in Biomedical Knowledge

Jaroslava Hasmanová Marhánková

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2014, 50(2): 163-188 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2014.50.2.75  

Immunisation programmes currently represent a fi rm and widely accepted part of preventive medicine. The Czech Republic ranks among countries with a mandatory immunisation schedule strongly regulated by the state. Having one's child vaccinated is an unquestionable norm, supported by formal sanctions for those who do not take part in this practice. This article focuses on parents who challenge this norm by deciding to refuse to allow their child to be vaccinated. Twenty-two parents whose children were not vaccinated were interviewed and several participant observations were conducted at public lectures on immunisation and at meetings of parents who...

Miloslav Petrusek and the Samizdat Sociologický obzor: (New) Insight into a Sociological Thinker

Zdeněk R. Nešpor

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2014, 50(2): 189-210 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2014.50.2.76  

The late Miloslav Petrusek (1936-2012) was undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of Czech sociology. He was one of a few sociologists who revived the discipline in the 1960s and was a talented organiser and a co-founder of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University in the 1990s. He was also a gifted teacher. However, owing to his busy organisational role, extensive teaching activities, and the publishing ban and restrictions he was subject to during the communist era, it is difficult to define the 'real Petrusek' in terms of his sociological thinking. The author argues that insight into his thought can, paradoxically,...

New Municipal Housing Construction, Decision-making, and Risks of Segregation: A Case Study in Rudoltice

Roman Matoušek

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2014, 50(2): 211-232 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2014.50.2.77  

Czech municipalities were given important responsibilities for housing policies during the post-communist transformation processes after 1989, which resulted in a diversification of strategies. Rudoltice near Lanškroun in Pardubice is a specific case of a municipality that chose to prioritise extensive municipal housing construction. The municipality used government subsidies to construct a new neighbourhood called Zámeček, which, with its nearly 1000 inhabitants, caused the local population to double between 2006 and 2009. In this article, the author explores the roots of this large-scale project of municipal housing construction by specifically combining...

The Issue of National Identity in the Work of Edvard Beneš

Dušan Janák

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2014, 50(2): 233-264 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2014.50.2.78  

This article examines the sociology of Edvard Beneš and looks in particular at the questions of whether and how his sociology came to be reflected in his political work, in particular in connection with nationality issues, and whether and how it played a role in the construction of Czechoslovak national identity (based on a synthesis of Czech and Slovak national identities). The article consists of two main parts, the first of which focuses on how Beneš made the conceptual and practical transition from theory to practice, from sociology to politics, a form of politics described here as 'academic', while the second is devoted to the issue of nationality...
