Tento metodický materiál vychází ze srovnávacích výzkumů přístupů k označování osob v angličtině, němčině, polštině, slovenštině, ruštině a češtině se zvláštním zřetelem k prostředkům rovného pojednávání osob z hlediska lexika, syntaxe a morfologie. U již etablovaných, zejména v anglicky a německy mluvících zemích používaných principů inkluzivního jazyka byla rovněž zkoumána jejich institucionalizace od Evropského parlamentu a dalších nadnárodních institucí přes orgány státních správ a samospráv až po rozmanitá odvětví, obory a oblasti veřejného dění (právo, politika, trh práce, školství atd.). Jazyková doporučení pro češtinu byla formulována...

When it comes to the topic of antigenderism, most scholarly and international advocacy works concentrate on the (East) European context, leaving the countries of the so-called ‘third world’ invisible. However, if we look beyond the idea that anti-gender movements are intrinsic only to countries that are moving away from modernity, we can see that the phenomenon also exists in other geographical contexts. In this regard, Kazakhstan presents an interesting case. Over the course of the last few years, there has been a rise in state-sponsored anti-gender activities backed by citizen movements that are advocating against ‘gender ideology’....

The intersection of personal experiences, political contexts, and feminist activism are explored in this qualitative study of Polish migrant women activists. Informed by the author’s own personal solidarity story and connections with the Polish activist community abroad, the study examines the emotions and affective dimensions of activism amidst the political uncertainties that preceded the October 2023 elections in Poland. Grounded in Claire Hemmings’ (2012) concept of affective dissonance, the analysis explores how emotions propel political transformation and shape activist identities. In-depth interviews reveal the enduring presence...

The aim of this paper is to analyse coping strategies to deal with the impact of crisis (pivots) among low-income entrepreneurs living in a marriage/partnership using the example of a pandemic as a social and economic crisis. We draw on literature that critiques the individualised and masculine conception of entrepreneurship as focused on innovation and profit. Our analysis reveals the diversity of entrepreneurial strategies for coping with pandemics. The choice of strategies has often been interpreted with an emphasis on non-economic aspects, as a way of legitimising why they do not choose pivots oriented towards business development in times of crisis....

Menstruation in the world of work organisations has so far from a sociological perspective remained an unexplored topic. Using exploratory research and the grounded theory method, this article seeks to capture how Czech women cope with menstruation in the workplace. Women interested in participating in the research were first asked to answer a short online questionnaire. From this pool we chose nineteen women (ages 21–66) who differed from each other in terms of their professions, age, and the extent to which menstruation is limiting for them and conducted qualitative interviews with them. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and subsequently...

Over the past decade, the protest against so-called ‘gender ideology’ in Italian schools has witnessed widespread and pervasive mobilisations. Prompted by the directives of anti-gender organisations, grassroots networks activated at the local level have opposed educational programmes related to gender equality, sexuality and the prevention of discrimination against LGBT+ individuals. Through qualitative interviews with Catholic mothers and teachers who participated in the anti-gender conferences in 2015, we adopted a micro-level perspective to interpret their narratives as strategies aimed at defending their ethical and heteronormative...

Předchozí výzkum poukázal na významnou roli charakteristik pracovišť, do kterých muži a ženy nejčastěji směřují, na vysvětlení rozdílů v jejich výdělcích. Gender pay gap bývá nejčastěji analyzován z hlediska osobních charakteristik žen a mužů a charakteristik jejich práce, organizačním charakteristikám byla ale doposud věnována jen malá pozornost. V této studii se zaměřujeme na tento méně probádaný kontext ovlivňující GPG a klademe si následující otázky: 1) jaké organizační charakteristiky a jakým způsobem souvisí s průměrným GPG ve firmě/ na pracovišti? 2) Působí tyto charakteristiky odlišně v platové a mzdové sféře trhu práce? 3) Jsou nalezené rozdíly...

The ever-watchful eyes of society have created burdensome challenges for mothers in the 21st century, who are constantly trying to manage their emotions and daily life in accordance with the dominant discourse of what a ‘good mother’ should be like. The aim of the paper is to explore the ‘deep story’ of new mothers in Latvia, employing the theoretical framework of sociologist Arlie Hochschild and her concept of ‘emotion work’. Data were gathered from ten phenomenological interviews with women with a child under the age of two. The results of the narrative analysis show that new mothers systematically apply the principles...

Sexual subjectivity in women together with sexual agency and empowerment have been receiving growing attention in sex research in recent decades. In this article we highlight the conceptual uncertainty and challenges research field, mostly in the context of #MeToo initiatives and the current discussion around understanding sexual violence in Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. We propose a conceptual map, in which we show the key role of sexual subjectivity for sexuality research, in contrast to other terms, such as sexual self--concept or sexual self-schema. We demonstrate how the important conceptual components of subjectivity, sexual agency,...

The article deals with a feminist critique of the secular notion of autonomy as a normative basis for the emancipation of the subject. It does so on the basis of discussions related to the so-called post-secular turn in feminist thought. The text is based on a comparison and interpretation of the theoretical insights of Saba Mahmood and Judith Butler. According to Mahmood, the poststructuralist critique of the Enlightenment conception of the subject, as seen in Butler, still places too much emphasis on secular detachment from tradition. In contrast, Saba Mahmood’s approach seeks to rehabilitate a ‚consolidationist‘ conception of the...

Článek zkoumá pojetí genderu a genderových rolí v duchovní knize Jak si uvařit (vlastní) vesmír slavné kuchařky a instagramové celebrity Kamily „Kamu“ Chadimové. Ukazuje, že jelikož kniha představuje případ duchovní literatury vycházející z kontextu současné alternativní spirituality (new age), skutečné porozumění tomu, jak pracuje s genderem, stojí a padá s porozuměním základním doktrinálním rysům alternativní spirituality. Článek se zabývá především významem konceptů (spirituální) energie a (spirituálního) holismu, které patří mezi nejvýznamnější typické rysy učení alternativní spirituality. V jejich kontextu se pak následně interpretuje...

This work of constructive Jewish ecofeminism argues for an expanded category of the poor to include nature, as both nature and the poor have similar states: they are in need. After a survey of the Torah and the tannaim, the author concludes that both sources do not define the category of the poor as anything more than those in need, thus we are well within our means to make the change. In addition, the current state of the environment, detailed by the most recent IPCC report, illustrates just how much the environment is in need. In this expansion of the category of the poor, the author also critiques traditional Jewish models of what constitutes care...

In the following paper on the ecofeminist dimension of the considerable work of the feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether, I will limit myself to questions and themes that are not purely theological, but which at the same time resonate with the themes and questions addressed in contemporary (eco)feminist philosophy, which revolve around issues of structural inequality and structural or systemic violence on the one hand, and the interdependence of lives, precariousness, and vulnerability on the other. Of the classic questions of systematic theology, two seem to me particularly relevant in this regard, namely the question of structural sin and...

The paper explores the topic of the Jewish religious spatial practice of a mechitza – the physical separation of women and men in synagogues. At first glance, the mechitza appears to be an indisputable given as a normal part of Orthodox Judaism. At second glance, however, it poses a problem: through the mechitza, women tend to be marginalised not only within the space itself but also on a symbolic level as subjects of religious practice. Using a feminist post-structuralist discourse analysis, the paper investigates how the practice of mechitza is negotiated and what meanings and symbolism it takes on for its religiously gendered subjects. The...

The article deals with the document ‘Male and Female He Created Them: Toward a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education’, published by the Congregation for Catholic Education in June 2019. The document is a guideline for Catholic schools, which they can apply to control and moderate the discussion on gender issues at the level of local churches and educational institutions. The article presents several worldwide responses to the document chiefly in the Catholic media, and then provides a rhetorical analysis and critique of its content. The analysis reveals some of the text’s rhetorical devices, including labelling,...

As we prepare for a new contraceptive revolution centering the male reproductive body, little is known about 21st century men’s interest in pursuing hormonal technology. This paper sets out to understand what male hormonal contraception (MHC) means for the performance of masculinity. Specifically, I seek to understand how contraceptive technology might contribute to the emergence and transformation of different masculine identities, and whether these identities will function to enhance or denounce the technology’s cultural feasibility and widespread assimilation. Amid the heavily quantitative nature of literature on this topic, I conduct...

Research involving prisoners is a vital source of information on crime but is often fraught with several challenges. This article presents an analysis of one of the first prison researches conducted in India with men convicted of rape. It examines and expands on the nuances of interacting with men convicted of rape and exploring a range of deeply personal questions with them. The research analysis attempts to highlight the impact of the researcher’s positionality on offender accounts by also discussing social proximity and gender. This article contributes to the broader discourse around conducting qualitative research in prisons.

Various research studies suggest that women and other vulnerable groups are the ones who were impacted most and who continue to suffer from the economic and social effects of the pandemic. However, these groups have often been omitted from the measures mitigating the pandemic impact due to their invisibility in the policy-knowledge nexus. This article draws on the findings from the international RESISTIRÉ research project, which focuses on how COVID-19 policies impacted gendered inequalities in Europe. Building on feminist institutionalism and an intersectional approach, we contribute to the debate on how existent gender regimes have shaped anti-pandemic...
