"Poslední tanec": bolest, postižení a smrt Jeriky BolenStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(5): 641-660 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.5.480
In the summer of 2016, black, disabled, and gay 14-year-old Jerika Bolen announced her decision to die. The public conversation surrounding Bolen's decision, launched through a series of newspaper articles announcing a 'last dance' prom, offers a case-study through which to explore how pain frustrates an analysis of the biopolitical formations that shape both right-to-die discussions and decisions. In doing so, this article offers two interventions. It reveals how dominant views of pain and disability shape and limit how we make sense of Jerika's life and death. It also highlights the analytical leverage that this critical approach offers by reading...

This paper focuses on users' involvement in the reform of mental-health care in the Czech Republic, which, like in other countries, is connected with the destigmatisation of mental illness and the deinstitutionalisation of care. As part of the reform process, users' and caregivers' representatives were invited by the key stakeholders to participate in working groups, expert committees, and government bodies that associate users' and representatives of parents. At the same time, users and caregivers mobilised from below and participated in a number of bottom-up initiatives. Against this backdrop, this study set out to identify the main positions of...

Critique is one of the social sciences' most respectable tasks, especially when its aim is to emancipate people oppressed for their otherness. However, there is also a critique of critique as a disabling tool, replacing the obvious actors revealed as 'fictitious' with synthetic objects that the critic herself deems more 'factual'. This article understands the critical gesture as a pragmatic resource for re-organising the field of dis/abilities. In the first part of the article, we make three critical gestures together with José, a person identified as mentally ill. A paranoid vision of a secret conspiracy, a naturalising concept of disease, and the...
Asambláže postižení: afirmativní pojetí v deleuzo-guattariovské perspektivěStati
Hana Porkertová
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(5): 561-586 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.5.477
The article discusses the potential of Deleuze-Guattarian philosophy for studying disability. It draws on empirical research comprising interviews with and ethnographic observations regarding the visually impaired people, in which the concept of assemblage is used as a sociological tool to analyse the continuity and discontinuity of disability. An assemblage is made up of heterogenic, rhizomatic, and often unpredictable connections, both organic and inorganic and linguistic and material, that continuously transform each other. An assemblage is never finished but is always complete, which gives rise to the question of the relationship between a whole...

This article presents findings on 'part-time' mayors in the Czech Republic and to what extent the fact that they only work part time as mayor affects how well their municipality functions compared to those who work as full-time mayors. Drawing on data from an open database, this article analyses several variables relating to the status and activities of disengaged mayors. It also examines the quality of the functioning of municipalities with parttime and full-time mayors, respectively, and reveals whether there are more problems reported in the function of municipalities that have part-time mayors than those with full-time mayors. The findings of this...

The article focuses on the use of childcare for preschool-age children in 13 European countries with different models of maternal employment. Employing a comparative approach it relates care arrangements to family policy measures. Childcare policies and practices in post-communist countries (the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia) are compared in a wider European context and specifically to various countries representing the principal types of welfare state and family policy strategies in Europe (the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and Sweden). The article focuses on parental leave schemes, parental...

This paper analyses the relationship between inadequate housing and the school performance of children from poor Czech households. It shows that children (ages 7-12) from low-income households (defined as those with up to 2.4 times the minimum living income) have higher chances of serious problems in school performance if they live in unstable or nonresidential housing. The effects of housing instability and non-residential housing among children from low-income households are significant and substantial even when controlling for parents' educational attainment and labour activity, family structure (e.g. single parent etc.), household size, and the...
Veřejná podpora přímé demokracie: Analýza heterogenity politických postojů v České republiceStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(4): 419-444 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.4.472
This paper focuses on the sources of popular support for direct democracy in the Czech Republic. The analysis first replicates the standard approaches used in previous scholarly research, testing theories of cognitive mobilisation and alienation using the standard regression modelling approach. The results are, however, somewhat inconclusive, as have been the results of previous empirical research in other European countries. It is hypothesised that one reason for this could be data heterogeneity. Both tested concepts could be valid, but for different social groups, resulting in overall inconclusive results. Therefore, latent class analysis (LCA) is...

Performing on the Boundary of Art and Sport: The Case of Competitive Ballroom DancersStati
Dominika Byczkowska-Owczarek
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(3): 369-392 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.3.471
In this article the author sheds light on how dancers act towards their bodies in the exceptionally competitive environment of competitive ballroom dancing. I also show how constantly performing on the boundary between two worlds, art and sport, and reconciling conflicting requirements influences perspectives on the body, how it is used, and how it physically changes. Drawing on specific examples from the field, the author argues that competition, the use of objects, appearance, emotions, and charisma during a ballroom performance are all socially created, actively reconstructed through social interaction, and shaped by institutional rules. The social...
'If You Were an Animal, a Plant, a Meal, a Car … What Would You Be?' The Use of Analogy in the Study of Identity TraitsStati
Florentina Scârneci-Domnișoru
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(3): 347-368 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.3.470
The article presents a new data-collection technique that can be applied in identity studies: analogy. The use of metaphor in identity studies is no novelty, but this particular creative exercise used in sociological research has not been described before in the methodological literature. Three pieces of research in which this technique has been applied are presented here: studies in which participants have been asked to analogise the profession of sociologist, a state-owned company, or a privately-owned company with animals, plants, automobiles musical instruments, or types of meals. The article highlights the special features of the analogy technique,...
Support for Market Economy Principles in European Post-communist Countries during 1999-2008Stati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2019, 55(3): 319-346 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2019.55.3.469
Since the fall of the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, a neoliberal discourse has dominated the thinking of the political elite in post-communist countries, paving the way for unprecedented mass privatisation, economic deregulation, and other market reforms. In this article, we study the development of public support for market economy principles in post-communist countries compared to other European countries between 1999 and 2008, the period that directly followed the initial stage of market transformation. The article is based on data from the European Values Study covering 22 European countries for the years 1999/2000 and...
An Experimental Exploration of Diffuse and Specific Public Support for the EU in the Czech RepublicStati

As populism is becoming more widespread across Europe public support for political systems has moved to the forefront of public debates. One type of public support-diffuse support-is important for political systems because it provides a source of stability in times of crisis. The existing research on political support in nation-states shows that public support for the political community of the nation tends to be diffuse, while public support for other parts of the political system less so. Is there, like in nation-states, diffuse support for the political community of the European Union? This article argues that there is, and using data from a survey...
