Care placement agencies: professionalization of care in expert systems
Souralová, Adéla ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Uhde, Zuzana (referee)
During last couple of decades, the paid child care has become one of the central issues of feminist research. The agencies mediating child care are relatively the new actor in child care arrangements in the Czech Republic. This MA thesis argues that they not only fill the gap in the market by offering a child care. Above all, far from providing the simple supply that reacts to the demand on the market, the agencies create the demand for specific care. Drawing upon qualitative research conducted with owners of these agencies, the text looks into the ways how the child care is constructed. The analysis consists of two parts. In the first one the agencies are understood as expert systems generating specific trust. In the second part, the issues of qualified, specialized, and professionalized care are discussed. The thesis aims at showing that child care in the agencies is deconstructed as a natural female activity and is reconstructed as a gendered activity requiring particular skills that are submitted to professional screening.

Migrant women as active citizens
Jenková, Pavla ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Uhde, Zuzana (referee)
Diploma thesis tries to offer a new insight into migration and integration of migrant women living in Czech Republic by means of life-story telling of ten such women. By using this approach the author tries to deconstruct stereotypical understanding of migration as a threat or a security hazard for the accepting society, on the contrary she tries to picture migrant women and their life-stories as tales of people who consider Czech Republic their second home and who actively participate on its development. Citizenship is understood as a membership in society of which migrant women are also legitimate and active members. The thesis should contribute to building positive attitude towards migrant women in general and it also offers recommendations for the public as well as integration policy creators as to how migrant women can be reflected in context of migration.

Though mothers versus nannies: media presentation of institution of domestic workers in Czech Republic
Brabcová, Eva ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Uhde, Zuzana (referee)
Absract This master thesis deals with an analysis of media discourse of domestic workers in the Czech Republic. The work was based on discourse analysis of media articles generated by Anopress, which is a professional supplier of media monitoring. Through analyzing the way how media portrays institution of domestic workers, the paper tries to point out the media discourse that produces an image of domestic workers as an attractive products and organization of domestic work as a mediator for balancing public and private lives of women. Through concepts of feminist research I am going to try to prove that the media discourse is based on essentialist and discriminatory practices that have a major impact on shaping the image of institution of domestic workers and actors who are connected with this institution. Since this is a media production of information's construction thus it has a significant influence on the conceptualization of institutions of domestic workers in public sphere. Keywords: rental housework, domestic workers, media discourse, discourse analysis

Uhde, Zuzana ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Šmausová, Gerlinda (referee) ; Szapuová, Mariana (referee)
Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Filozofická fakulta, katedra sociologie Feministická rekonstrukce kritického konceptu péče Emancipace žen a globální spravedlnost Zuzana U h d e Abstrakt disertační práce Autorka v disertační práci prezentuje feministickou rekonstrukci konceptu péče ve světle globalizačních procesů a proměn pozdně moderních společností. Metodologicky práce vychází z metod současné kritické teorie společnosti. Termín re-konstrukce odkazuje na interpretaci, v níž se autorka na společenskou formu péče dívá z hlediska sociálně zneuznaných aktérek globalizačních procesů. Autorka nejprve předkládá rozbor přístupů a východisek teoretiček, které reprezentují hlavní orientace feministické teorie péče, přičemž se zaměřuje především na přístupy, jež překonávají paradigma práce. Konkrétně po náčrtu historických východisek feministické teorie péče v existencialismu a marxismu se zaměřuje na feministickou etiku péče Joan Tronto a Virginie Held a kritickou teorii péče Iris M. Young. Poté přistupuje k hlavní analýze disertační práce, v níž autorka kriticky analyzuje a vysvětluje společenskou formu péče v západní pozdně moderní společnosti. Současné tendence obecně charakterizuje jako proces deformované emancipace. Tuto diagnózu podrobně rozpracovává prostřednictvím kritického rozboru konkrétních procesů v podobě...
