There have been a number of organised discussions about the media in Slovakia in recent times. This study analyses them to find answers to several research questions. One question is: who took part in the discussions about the media in the period this analysis focused on in 2018? Interviews with the organisers of these discussions offered a partial answer to the question of what kind of discursive strategies they used in determining the hegemonic discourse that emerges from these discussions. The article's theoretical starting point is Foucault's question about 'Who is speaking?' as an important element of the archaeology of knowledge. The analysis...

Research into the concentration of crime at places is a long-standing research area in environmental criminology. Studies demonstrate the practical potential of geo-localised data for criminological and security research. Knowledge about crime concentration at places makes it possible to focus repressive and preventive activities in localities where the most effective results can be achieved. In Czech criminology, limited use has as yet been made of geolocalised crime data or knowledge about the concentration of crime at places. Consequently, this article presents a case study of the concentration of crime at places within a Czech city. One-half of...

Validizace konceptu akademické marnosti v českém středním vzděláváníStati

International research shows that the concept of academic futility is a promising one for studying the mechanisms that cause differences in educational outcomes in general and vocational secondary school programmes. Given that there are large differences between general and vocational programmes in the Czech education system, in terms of the content of education, the conditions of education, student composition, and learning outcomes, it is important to take a deeper look at the causes of these differences. The aim of this paper is to test the original, three-dimensional version of the concept of academic futility at Czech secondary schools. The concept...

Research on women’s entrepreneurship often fails to uncover the gendered way in which women’s roles and responsibilities are portrayed and it neglects the connections between ideas about what roles women play in business and in the family and the social context in which these ideas are embedded. This article focuses on the gender inequalities that are reflected in the construction of men’s and women’s roles and responsibilities in copreneurships (romantic couples in business together) and how those constructions are embedded in societal and the family context. By drawing on qualitative in-depth interviews with copreneurs in...

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'...

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

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

Alexandra Iancu, Sorina Soare

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...
