Sexual Harassment at Universities: The Experience of Policies Introduced Abroad

Kateřina Šaldová, Barbora Tupá, Marta Vohlídalová

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2009, 10 (1): 8-15  

The problem of sexual harassment at universities has been explored in western and mainly American sociology since the mid-1970s. Since then, anti-harassment policies and procedures (including follow-up victim care) have been introduced at most Anglo-Saxon universities designing how to deal with 'harassers' and 'victims'. In the Czech Republic, empirical research on this issue and on university anti-harassment policies is still lacking. The aim of this article is to introduce the methods and procedures employed at Anglo-American universities in an effort to tackle sexual harassment. The experiences of these academic institutions represent an indispensable...

Silence Is a Form of Communication: Feminist Debates about the Political Aspects of Psychological Practice

Kateřina Machovcová

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2009, 10 (1): 1-7  

The heated debate between feminism(s) and psychology(ies) about being political goes beyond the understanding of feminism as a dangerous ideology that needs to be divorced from the respect for approaches intrinsic to psychological practices. Political activism is frequently understood as a core feminist value, but different ethics can come into play in psychology and psychotherapy. Professionals engaged in critical and feminist approaches seek to combine being political while cherishing the autonomous decision-making of each and every client. However, we also encounter positions where individual work is rejected and only collective activism is to be...

The Discourse of Risk in HIV/AIDS Prevention

Katerina Kolárová

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2009, 10 (1): 16-24  

This text presents an analysis of the recent emphasis in HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns: the discursive constructions of HIV/AIDS as an issue of risk and its management. Specifically, the text discusses the prevention materials produced by state-funded institutions in the Czech Republic. The aim of the text is twofold: First, it analyses the specific discourse (and rationality) of risk that permeates HIV/AIDS prevention in relation to and as a part of modern biopolitics and (self-)governance. Second, the text examines the discourse of risk for its gendered implications and its re-inscription of gendered power inequalities.

Abortion in Socialist Czechoslovakia - A Foucauldian Perspective

Radka Dudová

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2009, 10 (1): 25-36  

The right to end an unwanted pregnancy as an integral part of the full citizenship of women has been influenced, reinfluenced, and questioned by different actors in the Czech Republic since the 1950s. Until 1986 the right to abortion was not viewed as a woman's personal right, but depended upon the decision of abortion commissions and was influenced by the current demographic and political situation. The decision-making process was a very embarrassing experience for many women, who in fact had no other means of contraception available to them. In this paper, I analyse the legal and political regulation of abortion from the perspective of Foucault´s...

The Growth of Czech Feminism: Analyzing Resistance Activities through a Gendered Lens, 1968 to 1993

Megan R. Martin

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2009, 10 (1): 37-44  

This paper explores how women's roles and participation in resistance to Czechoslovak communism from 1968 to the Velvet Revolution serve as a base for Czech feminist thought. By examining three generations of participants through a gendered, Beauvoirian lens, the emergence of feminism can be easily charted through changing perceived gender roles and increased attention to gender issues. After the events of the Prague Spring, women from different groups of the Czechoslovak underground risked their own safety to exercise free speech and expression. Women's struggles for greater liberties were framed by traditional gender barriers, supposed communist...
