1920 - A Caesura in Social Theory?Studie ze sociální teorie

William Outhwaite

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 897-910 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.046  

The centenary of Max Weber's death raises the question of the wider significance of 1920 as marking a break in the history of social theory. This essay focuses on Germany and Austria, where the political break with the past was particularly sharp and the discontinuities in the social and intellectual configuration of the social sciences were most obvious. Three trends are particularly striking: the development of neo-Marxist social theory with György Lukács and Karl Korsch and the later emergence of critical theory, the polarisation between neo-positivism and interpretive sociology, and the consolidation of the sociology of knowledge.

Trends in Divorce Acceptance and Its Correlates across European CountriesStati

Petr Fučík

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 863-896 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.053  

This study examines how the public acceptance of divorce has changed in European countries in recent decades. Taking advantage of the large-scale, comparative, and long-run measurement of value orientations in the European Values Study 1981-2017 it focuses on value change connected with divorce in a macro perspective. The article explores the acceptance of divorce in three aspects: 1) it measures and compares the trends in the acceptance of divorce in various European societies between 1981(1991) and 2017 and contrasts these trends with the data on divorce rates in these countries; (2) it explores the consistency/correlation between divorce attitudes...

Attitudes towards Life and Death in Europe: A Comparative AnalysisStati

Edurne Bartolomé-Peral, Lluis Coromina

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 835-862 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.052  

Fundamental aspects of human existence such as birth and death are at the core of our values and profoundly sensitive to our religious beliefs, our ideals as a society, and our opinions on the extent to which individuals may interfere in these basic life issues. This article analyses the factors that explain people's attitudes towards key beginning- and end-of-life issues. To do this, we first tracked variations across two points in time, and then looked at the effects of value orientations and socio-demographic factors in comparative perspective across countries. Based on previous literature, we consider justification for euthanasia, abortion, and...

The Economy and Governance as Determinants of Political Trust in Europe: An Analysis of the European Values Study and World Values Survey, 1990-2019Stati

Marta Kołczyńska

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 791-834 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.051  

Trust in state institutions is essential for the stability and legitimacy of political regimes. Understood in evaluative terms, political trust has often been linked to the performance of the state and its institutions. The macro-level sources of trust, however, are not well understood owing to the scarcity of empirical tests beyond cross-sectional analyses. This paper examines economic performance and the quality of governance as determinants of political trust in Europe. The analysis relies on data from the European Values Study and the World Values Survey between 1990 and 2019, covering 42 European countries surveyed at least twice. The modelling...

The Expansion of Higher Education and Post-Materialistic Attitudes to Work in Europe: Evidence from the European Values StudyStati

Barbora Hubatková, Tomáš Doseděl

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 767-790 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.050  

The article focuses on the relationship between higher education and post-materialistic attitudes to work, and how it has changed following the recent expansion of systems of higher education in Europe. Using data from the European Values Study on 28 countries with the time frame between 1990 and 2008, the analysis shows that the previously observed link between higher education and post-materialism also applies to work values. Higher-educated Europeans were both more post-materialistic and less materialistic in their work orientations than their lower-educated counterparts. This association was, however, weakened by tertiary expansion. Work-related...

The Work Ethic and Social Change in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - A Modernisation Theory PerspectiveStati

Michal Kozák

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 741-766 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.049  

The article investigates long-term trends in the work ethic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia from the perspective of modernisation theory. In particular, it examines whether the work ethic in the two culturally similar societies decreased during the years of growing material prosperity and whether this trend originated in intergenerational population replacement. The study uses data from three pooled waves of the European Values Study (EVS) covering the period 1999-2017 to which it applies the linear decomposition technique and multivariate statistical analysis. The results show that, even though the work ethic decreased in the Czech Republic and...

Value Modernisation in Central and Eastern European Countries: How Does Inglehart's Theory Work?Stati

Beatrice Chromková Manea, Ladislav Rabušic

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(6): 699-740 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.033  

An intergenerational shift from more pro-family norms to individual-choice norms has been taking place since the 1980s. Conditions of economic and social security positively contributed to this shift especially in high-income countries. In this paper, we study the modernisation change on value structures in selected Central and Eastern European countries and compare them with Western European ones and look at the generational differences. We first check whether the value shift is moving in the assumed direction and whether it is copying trends observed in Western European countries. We then look at different generations to determine whether the younger...

Slovenské verejné diskusie o médiách: Analýza normativity diskutujúcichStati

Tomáš Profant

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(5): 639-664 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.043  

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...

Stabilita kriminality v místech: Případová studie českého městaStati

Jana Jíchová, Martin Šimon

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(5): 619-638 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.044  

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

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2020, 56(5): 599-618 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.042  

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...
