The Interpreters of Emotions: Transgenerational Gender Strategies of Mothers and Daughters in the Setting of Vietnamese Families in the Czech Republic
Vrbková, Tereza ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Uhde, Zuzana (referee)
Contemporary anthropological research looks at the heterogeneous composition of the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic and observes different ways of integration of the various generations of Vietnamese migrants (Martínková, 2008). Contrary to the 1st generation, the children are intensely confronted by Czech culture and society, which leads to different negotiating strategies. This contributes to cultural dualism, especially in the case of children forming identities which differentiate them from their parents (Kušniráková Tran Vu, Plačková, 2013; Vasiljev, 1999). The acculturation gap between children and parents can lead to a transgenerational conflict (Janská, Průšvicová, Čermák, 2011). Gender relationships and roles within the family are the key aspect of contemporary changes (George, 2005, Erel, 2009). Through the perspective and analytical category of gender this ethnographic research studies how Vietnamese mothers and their daughters negotiate mutual transgenerational relationships.

A nurse doesn't have to be a woman
Vejsadová, Barbora ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Diploma thesis "A nurse doesn't have to be a woman" focuses on men's experience in feminised occupations which are connected with the notion of women, particularty it is focused on nurses. In theoretical and conceptual part I present basic concepts, which this thesis relies on and I write about labour market. In empirical part I conducted six semi-structured interviews with men who work, worked as a nurse or study to become one. In these interviews I was looking for gender constructions and associations that are connected with being men in "typically women's" occupation. The questions I asked were about the motivation to choose this occupation, how these men are approached, what reactions do they experience, what benefits and obtacles they deal with, how do people call them. Most importantly I was interested in men's own experience and perceptions connected to their position of men in feminised occupation. Key words: nurse, labour market, gender segregation of labour, feminization, masculinity
