    Ivanův denní chleba: každodenní taktiky migrantů ve vztahu k zákonům ve městě Plzeň
    (AntropoWeb, 2013) Rumpík, Viktor; Brzezicka, Magdalena Anna
    The aim of this paper is to describe the most popular individual behavioral tactics used daily by migrants from non-EU countries in their living environment in Plzeň, the Czech Republic. Based on Michel de Certeau’s theory about social strategies and tactics and our own practical research carried out in the living environment of migrants in the area of Plzeň, we would like to describe the five most popular tactics used as a reaction to the migration policies and laws in the Czech Republic. These are: social networks; cooperation with non-governmental and governmental organizations; changing one’s target of residence and using a „Švarc systém“; a customer system; and a combinations of all of the above mentioned methods. We would also like to describe how official limitations and strategies in migration law could impact migrant tactics, and how these could be connected to a “grey market”, or other illegal acts. During the course of our research we were inspired by a wide selection of theories about contemporary migration, migrants in the Czech Republic and social connections in the migrants’ environment.

    Odlišnosti v komunikaci z genderové perspektivy, „skutečná“ dívka rovná se „slušná“ dívka
    (AntropoWeb, 2013) Fárová, Nina
    This article is focused on gender expectations linked with girl‘s speech. Stereotypical ideas regarding gender-specific behavior are still prevalent in today’s society and preconceptions which define “lady-like“ character, as well as what constitutes the appropriate speech of a “polite girl”, still exist. This article detects the expectations linked with girls‘ speech as perceived by young people in contemporary society and describes the ways in which girls live up to these expectations. Mixed methods were used to investigate this thesis; those included a questionnaire distributed to one- hundred students and twelve semi-structured interviews with both male and female subjects who participated in the quantitative part of this research. The research found that the opinion that girls’ speech is subject to greater social control is widely held by young people. Even though the rules of speech for “polite” girls have shifted nowadays and are less explicit than in the past, girls still have to balance and watch their speech more than boys. Furthermore, despite the fact that conversational partners expressed a fair amount of egalitarian opinions and highlighted the diffusion of male and female “worlds”, it was still apparent that their upbringing in a gender-separated society has had an effect on their gender-separated thinking.

    Stáří mladýma očima: zdroje nevraživosti mladých k seniorům
    (AntropoWeb, 2013) Trusínová, Romana
    As we live in an ageing society, intergenerational cohesion represents an increasingly important theme. Sociological research has however shown that this cohesion is sometimes undermined by conflict or lack of respect between members of different generations. This is why this study aims to explore the mindset which fuels young adults’ expression of ageist attitudes toward seniors. The main questions are: What triggers hostile feelings in some young adults toward the elderly and what can lead young people to vent these feelings? A qualitative sociological research was used to answer these questions. Indepth interviews were attended by adult residents of the Czech Republic, aged 19-28. The research confirmed the findings of earlier social researchers; namely, that prejudice against the elderly is not only shared, but also commonly expressed. This indicates that the fight against age-inequality is currently in its early days. The research further revealed that the most likely explanation for young people’s ageist behaviour is their disrespect towards seniors. The reasons for this disrespect seem to be particularly: contempt for ageing as a process of decline, disapproval of Czech senior citizens’ passive lifestyles and the imitation of behavioral patterns where rude communication with older family members is the norm. The research concluded that the ageist behaviour of young adults towards seniors is not a consequence of any specific intergenerational conflict. More likely, young people view seniors as an easy target for venting their frustrations. As the article draws to a close, the author discusses the possibilities of dealing with these problems with the objective of reinforcing intergenerational cohesion in the Czech Republic.
