This article presents an analytical study of several asylum cases on which Czech courts issued rulings between 2007 and 2022. It focuses on exposing the ways in which asylum authorities/courts conceptually treat legal otherness on the basis of incomplete information in the practical context of asylum proceedings. It demonstrates how the judgments of Czech asylum courts deal with the legal differences of countries of origin in evidentiary interpretations of documents, such as transcripts of asylum interviews or country-of-origin information (COI), by reconstructing the conceptual frameworks in which the alterity of the origin countries’ state...

This article analyses the public hearing of candidates for the position of Chair of the Whistleblowers Protection Office in Slovakia in order to examine the hitherto overlooked issue of ethical-political agency that seeks to create an institution for the common good. Ethical political agency is the type of agency that transcends both the conception of institutions as dominant, taken-for-granted structures whose rules individuals tacitly follow, whereby they are deprived of agency, and the understanding of agency as a strategic activity that uses institutions to promote the specific interests of individuals. An analysis of the interactions between the...

Fenomén #scicomm: využití big data a jejich analýzy při sledování komunikace vědy na internetových stránkách českých výzkumných organizacíStati

This study focused on science communication on the websites of Czech research institutions. Particularly, we inquired to what extent Czech science is shared with the public on the Internet and what differences can be found between the websites of social and natural science institutions. Textual analysis revealed that on the scientific websites, terms like ‘science’ and ‘popularization’ occurred together with references to scientific institutions, study, and research. In the case of natural sciences, the term ‘popularization’ was more often linked to receiving science awards for science popularization and promotion....

‘We Have Always Been like This’: The Local Embeddedness of Migration AttitudesStati

Ivana Rapoš Božič, Alica Synek Rétiová, Radka Klvaňová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(3): 339-365 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.030  

This article contributes to the local turn in migration research. It explores how the city context shapes migration attitudes among residents, resulting in the formation of imagined communities of 'Locals' and 'Others'. Relying on qualitative research methods and cultural sociological theories of cultural armatures of the city, cultural repertoires, and symbolic boundaries, we examine the cases of two Czech cities, Teplice and Vyšší Brod. We find that the specific characteristics of the local history, geography, and demography of the cities give rise to distinct cultural repertoires that shape how their residents view migration and the presence of...

Searching for the ‘Muslims’ in Czech Islamophobia and the Effects of Intergroup Contact in Challenging the ‘Fear of the Unknown’Stati

Carlos Gómez del Tronco

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(3): 315-338 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.037  

Since at least 2014, cross-national surveys have measured the most negative attitudes towards 'Muslims' in the EU among Czech respondents. These attitudes have often been attributed to few contact opportunities with actual Muslims in the country and, thus, public overreliance on the highly negative representations of 'Muslims' in public discourse. However, empirical qualitative assessments of the stereotypes which guide many Czechs' anti-Muslim prejudice and the effects of intergroup contact have been neglected. In an epistemological shortcoming, the survey category 'Muslim' has often been treated as one of analysis rather than of practice. Contrarily,...

‘Not Knowing When It's Going to Happen and What's Going to Happen’: The Time Politics of Applying for a Residence Permit in the Czech RepublicStati

Veronika Kotýnková Krotká

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(3): 293-314 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.036  

This study focuses on the time politics involved in applying for a residence permit in the Czech Republic, with a focus on non-European Union (EU) applicants. It examines how governmentality and state superiority are represented and performed within the bureaucratic procedure of the application process. Based on the results, I argue that the application process bureaucracy is tied to time politics - practices that govern others through time. The paper is based on research realised in Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, and uses qualitative, ethnographic observations and semi-structured interviews with immigrants from non-EU countries...

The Legitimacy of European Union Migration and Asylum Policy among the Czech PublicStati

Jan Krotký, Bernadette Nadya Jaworsky, Petr Kaniok

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(3): 269-291 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.003  

In this study, we contribute to scholarly work on European Union (EU) legitimacy with regard to migration and asylum policy. We do so through an in-depth exploration of the relationship between attitudes towards the EU and migration among the Czech public. Even though there is a body of literature focusing on this topic, there is a gap when it comes to understanding its complexities, especially concerning 'pro-immigrant' and 'pro-European' positions. We bring a cultural-sociological perspective on meaning-making processes into conversation with theories on the legitimacy of the EU, an analytical move that helps us reveal the nuances in attitudes towards...

„Doufali jsme, že ten byt jednou bude náš.“ Boj za férovou privatizaci v případu iniciativy Moje PísniceStati

Jakub Černý, Yuliya Moskvina, Ludmila Böhmová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(2): 197-219 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.023  

In this article, we analyse the conditions behind the formation of the tenant initiative Moje Písnice, which existed in Prague between 2016 and 2020. In the theoretical part, we explain the concepts of urban movements and tenant movements in Central and Eastern Europe and emphasise the role of everyday life and emotions in the genesis of a collective actor. We use qualitative methodology based on an analysis of 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews with members and one supporter of the Moje Pisnice Initiative. This initiative provides an illustration of the formation of collective actors in the urban space in Central and Eastern Europe. We focus specifically...

Participativní bydlení: nová konceptualizace demokratických forem bydlení v České republiceStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(2): 173-195 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.029  

In recent years, in response to the increasing unaffordability of housing, many European countries have seen a renewed interest in forms of housing that emphasise elements of cooperation, self-organisation, and sharing (of space, organisation, or ownership between households). In the Czech Republic, we recently identified the first efforts of some municipalities and smaller groups of citizens to transpose this 'housing innovation' into the Czech context, which until now has predominantly favoured individual owner-occupied housing. Considering that these emerging forms of housing in the Czech Republic have yet to be conceptualised in theory, the goal...

Asambláž „Bydlení především“: příklad projektu „Rapid Re-Housing pro rodiny s dětmi bez domova“ ve městě BrněStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(2): 149-171 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.025  

Using the example of a Rapid Re-Housing project, this article aims to open up a more general social-scientific debate within the context of critical discussions about ending homelessness in the Czech Republic. It at the same time seeks to refine the usage of the 'urban assemblages' concept in sociological and anthropological research. A Rapid Re-Housing project was piloted in Brno in 2016-2018. Its objective was to house 50 families in need of housing in municipal apartments and to provide social support in the form of intensive case management. The project included a randomised controlled trial and a qualitative evaluation. This research showed that...

Bydlení jako výjimka, evikce jako každodennostStati

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2023, 59(2): 123-147 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.028  

This article focuses on evictability and the eviction of the residents of one block of flats in a small southern Slovakian town. Most of the building's inhabitants are Roma, but the problem of cultural racism is interconnected with political, economic, legal, and even research and activist issues. The article is based on socially committed ethnographic research and the perspective of critical human geography. The theoretical framework is informed by the geographies of eviction, which grasp evictions as a becoming affective process. In this approach the focus is on not just the structural and other causes of eviction and its negative consequences but...
