Recenze se zabývá knihou Gender and Academic Career Development in Central and Eastern Europe od polské socioložky Anny Górska. Poskytuje souhrn obsahu knihy, který je konceptualizován podle druhu akademické práce a podle stádia akademické kariéry. Zmiňuje hlavní přínos knihy, který spočívá v souhrnném přehledu problematiky v regionu, kde anglicky psaná kniha na toto téma doposud chyběla. Zároveň recenze pojmenovává nedostatky této publikace způsobené přílišným zobecněním regionu, který je sám o sobě heterogenní oblastí, a s tím související určitou povrchností předložených argumentů.

The subject of this review is "Ahmed, S. 2021. Complaint! Durham: Duke University Press". The paper introduces Sara Ahmed as a proponent of queer phenomenology and an academic activist involved professionally and personally in combating gender-based violence in academia, mainly by examining complaints as a subject of a phenomenological analysis as well as as a tool of an institutional critique. Ahmed's main research questions and conclusions are presented in the paper, and the aims of the author are critically reflected upon.

In their publication, Yasemin Besen-Cassino and Dan Cassino focus on capturing the basic strategies by which men in the US compensate for changes in the perception of their masculinity. They draw on a large amount of quantitative and qualitative data, which I consider to be one of the great contributions of this publication. They outline a basic overview of strategies that can be significantly expanded in further research and further deepen knowledge about the direction different men take if they feel their own masculinity is threatened. Their book Gender Threat: American Masculinity in the Face of Change (2022) is still a relevant text for the study...

During my PhD studies, my ethnography of the r/NoFap subreddit involved grappling with challenges that questioned my research design, academic posture, political stance, gender identity, sexuality and desire and asked for mutable choices to deal with them. With over 1.1 million members, predominantly men, this Reddit channel advocates abstinence from pornography consumption and excessive masturbation as a means to overcome a self-diagnosed porn addiction, porn overuse, and compulsive sexual behaviour. The related conversations are dominated by evolutionary narratives on gender and sexuality, men’s sexual entitlement to women, and the heteronormative...

This study explores the professional debut of women journalists in the digital environment in Romania, focusing on the dynamics of gender identity. The research examines the phenomenon of the viralisation of the first material published by a young journalist and the subsequent online reactions to it on social media. The case study method is used to analyse the discursive and institutional consequences of this event, observing the reactions of various stakeholders (the author, readers, journalists, NGOs, and the academic community). The findings highlight the opportunities created by the viral nature of the debut article, which provides...

Digital housework is one of the outcomes of the spread of interactive, smart technologies in the home. This new type of work consists of domestic, personal, and professional activities that are carried out at home using technological and digital devices. This study seeks to provide a better understanding of the gender implications of the cognitive, emotional, symbolic, and outcome dimensions of digital housework. The research questions used in the study are: (1) What are cognitive, emotional, and symbolic digital housework tasks and their outcomes? (2) What gender patterns can be observed in the performance of cognitive, emotional, and symbolic digital...

This article empirically explores how women who are members of UK-based women-only networks for women working in the media and communications industries blog about the menopause, specifically Bloom (www.bloomnetwork.uk), Women in Advertising and Communications Leadership (www.wacl.info), and Women in Public Relations (www.womeninpr. org). The over-arching research question in this paper is: How do women who are members of women-only networks for women working in communications blog about the menopause? I seek to answer this question by exploring whether the selected blog posts’ texts on the websites of women-only networks have a feminist...

The article observes, from a transitional perspective, how feminist activists appropriate digital spaces to produce informative content about gender equity and how they organise themselves to maintain feminist media projects in terms of content production and public access to this information. The research focuses on analysing three Brazilian publications (AzMina, Lado M, and Think Olga) and three French ones (Georgette Sand, Les Glorieuses, and Madmoizelle). The global North-South category is mobilised to propose a dialogue between feminist journalism practices in Brazil and France, using both countries because they are important players on the international...

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...
