Is there only one Cultural Capital? Cultural Resources in Class Reproduction and Identity
Šafr, Jiří
2012 - English
The author discusses typology distinguishing highbrow/distinctive and cognitive type of cultural capital. The two orientations are empirically demonstrated on formation of symbolic cultural boundaries (class identity) and intergenerational status/cultural capital reproduction using data from the survey "Distinction and Values" (2008) which surveyed cohorts ages 30–34. First, the results confirm hypothesis of class homology (distinct social space) regarding leisure activities, media consumption and value of conspicuous consumption. Second, occupational status attainment (ISEI) is influenced, besides education attainment and parental education, by participation in extracurricular activities and partly by cognitive cultural capital (early acquisition of reading habits). As regards cultural capital formation (highbrow taste and cultural knowledge), it is partly inherited but still, it can be accumulated by individuals own effort and sense of natural aesthetics taste.

Reading climate within family of origin and educational results
Gorčíková, Magdaléna; Šafr, Jiří
2012 - English
This study examines the extent to which reading socialization (pro-reading climate in family) and reading in childhood account for performance differences between low-status and high-status children to educational results. We employ data from the survey “Distinction and Values” (2008) which surveyed cohorts ages 30–34 along with their parents. The findings of our analysis have shown that reading climate in family – especially if the child reads himself – plays a significant role in promoting elementary school success, graduation at the university and intergenerational educational mobility. In sum, parental reading socialization increases the likelihood of shaping children’s education attainment and even expands advantage in parent-child relations.

(Geo)politiky mobility
Červinková, Alice
2009 - English
Studie se zabývá akademickou mobilitou v genderových, disciplinárních a geopolitických souvislostech. Mobilita je produktem heterogenní sítě lidí, materiálních objektů a institucí. Genderový rozměr akademické mobility se ustavuje především v souvislosti s vyjednáváním, zda a kde se ucházet o zahraniční stáž. Některé vědecké obory a specializace operují v hustě provázané mezinárodní síti. V těchto globalizovaných oborech je mobilita etapou v akademické dráze, která podmiňuje její další realizaci. Nároky těchto oborů na mobilitu navigují a (spolu)uskutečňují podoby jak akademických drah konfigurace partnerských soužití. This study concerns academic mobility along the gendered, disciplinary and geopolitical axes. Mobility is seen as an effect of heterogeneous networks of material objects and institutions. The gender dimension of an academic career is enacted in particular in relation to negotiations about postdoctoral fellowships – if, who and where will apply for a fellowship in an academic couple. Some scientific disciplines operate in densely-linked international networks. In highly globalized disciplines mobility constitutes a stage in an academic career that has a major bearing on its further course. Requirements placed on mobility in these scientific areas navigate and co-construct shapes of the academic career path and partnership configurations.

Report on the activities and political claims of majority women’s NGOs and minoritized women’s and gender-based NGOs or groups on care and specifically on childcare in the Czech Republic since the end of the Second World War
Uhde, Zuzana; Dudová, Radka; Pulkrábková, K.; Soudková, Š.
2008 - English
The report provides an overview of the activities and political claims of women’s organizations and other gender-based or minority-oriented NGOs and groups with regard to childcare in the Czech Republic since the Second World War. For historical reasons the trajectory of women’s organizing in the Czech Republic differ from the one common in Western democratic countries and also there is not a sufficient amount of research sources on women’s and minority organizing for the entire researched period. Therefore, the authors included not only the research review but also some preliminary results of their original research. Minoritized groups of women (Roma women, women-migrants) especially are excluded from the public discourse and claim-making on childcare and it was essential to conduct field research to identify problematic issues or implicit demands regarding childcare in these groups. Zpráva podává přehled o aktivitách a politických požadavcích ženských organizací a dalších genderově zaměřených či na minority zaměřených organizací zejména s ohledem na péči o děti v České republice po druhé světové válce.

Institutional trust in the regions of the Czech Republic
Stachová, Jana; Čermák, Daniel; Vobecká, Jana
2008 - English
The aim of this paper is to describe and explain regional differences in the level of trust in political institutions in the NUTS 2 regions in the Czech Republic. On the regional level the differences in the degree of political trust exists. However, these differences are caused rather by individual characteristics of respondents than by contextual regional factors. In addition, the differences between urban and rural regions were identified. The more urban region is the lower level of political trust was observed. Finally, the size of the municipality influences significantly the level of institutional trust, especially the trust in municipal boards. The smaller the municipality is the higher confidence in municipal board was observed. Cílem příspěvku je pospat a vysvětlit regionální rozdíly v hladině důvěry v politické instituce v regionech NUTS 2 v České republice. Existující regionální rozdíly na hladině NUTS2 jsou způsobeny spíše individuálními charakteristikami respondentů než kontextuálními regionálními faktory. Byly však identifikovány rozdíly mezi venkovskými a městskými regiony, čím urbanizovanější je region, tím je nižší hladina důvěry v politické instituce. Svoji významnou úlohu hraje také velikost obce. V menších obcích je zjištěna významně vyšší míra institucionální důvěry, zejména důvěry v lokální samosprávu.

The provision of childcare services in the Czech Republic
Křížková, Alena
2008 - English
The Czech Republic comes nowhere near to meeting the Barcelona targets and does not even satisfy the needs and demands of Czech parents. After 1989 childcare services for children under the age of three almost entirely disappeared and there was a drastic decrease in the number of spaces at kindergartens for children under the age of 3. While in 1989, 96% of children between the ages of 3 and 6 attended a preschool facility in 2005 the figure was 78.3%. For the future generation of “potential” parents nurseries are a more acceptable option than they are for the current generation of parents. Česká republika zcela jistě nesplní Barcelonské cíle pokrytí služeb péče o děti a ani zdaleka nepokryje poptávku českých rodičů. Po roce 1989 téměř zcela zmizela nabídka služeb péče o děti do tří let a pro tyto děti také téměř zcela zmizela možnost využívat služeb mateřských škol.Zatímco v roce 1989 bylo 96 % dětí od 3 do 6 let v předškolních zařízeních, v roce 2005 byl tento podíl 78,3 %. Pro generaci budoucích rodičů jsou předškolní zařízení pro malé děti navíc výrazně více akceptovanou variantou péče o děti než pro generace dřívější.
