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.

The Lighthouse (field work)
Horáková, Klára ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
This work focuses on ethnographical research carried out in "Dům světla" (House of Light), which is an asylum house for HIV positive people. The aim of this work was to find out whether the employees and volunteers of this asylum house are affected by the stigmatization which is connected to AIDS disease and how they, in case of need, cope with it. Contemporary, concepts of "risk" groups and "risk" behaviour, shame, fear or "difference" are connected to this topic. That is why another aim of this thesis was to find out how volunteers perceive their work in Dům světla, what meanings it has to them and how they interpret this activity. For answering these questions I made a two-year lasting participative observation as volunteer there and carried out informal and in-depth interviews. In context of this thesis I also focused on shorter analysis of preventive materials published by The Czech AIDS Help Society to learn the concepts used by the organization itself.

The Reflection and Construction of "Good Old Age" in the Rainbow Carehome
Šrámek, Vít ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
Keywords: seniors, ageing studies, interaction, strategies of care Abstract: With the current demographic trend of population ageing, the issue of the post- productive stage of life (65+) becomes a topic of growing social relevance. Social cultural anthropology is no exception as ageing studies have been moving to the forefront of scientific discourse in recent years. One of the pioneers of ageing studies in Czech social and cultural anthropology is Hasmanová Marhánková with her longtime devotion to the issues of ageing , senior care and gender in old age (e.g. 2013: Aktivita jako projekt. Diskurz aktivního stárnutí a jeho odezvy v životech českých seniorů a seniorek, 2011: "Leisure in old age - disciplinary practices surrounding the discourse of active ageing."). The question of how to ensure the appropriate quality of life for seniors is one of the most important ones. For a fair number of seniors, this means quality of life spent in senior homes, which represent one of the possibilities of senior care for families that cannot (due to physical or social limitations) or would not care for the seniors in their homes. It is also an alternative for seniors without family. The current project will focus on a specific senior home (called Delta Senior Home for the purpose of anonymity) and on the strategies of...

Zionist without Zeal: Imagination and Performance of Transnational Belonging
Pokorná, Anna ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Halbich, Marek (referee) ; Szaló, Csaba (referee)
This dissertation based on a fieldwork conducted among Czech Jewish youth during a ten-days educational touristic program Taglit-Birthright explores production of transnational space of mutual belonging. The transnational belonging to Jewish collective is produced through particular physical space of Israel through practice of tourism in collective constructed by the programme as a collective of common origin based on "blood ties". I examine participants' tourist bodily experience, performances, emotions and attitudes as a site of production and reproduction of transnational space using a concept of embodiment as ways in which the individual grasps the world around him/her and makes sense of it in ways that engage both body and mind. Transnational space created throughout the programme becomes socially constructed emotional category of "ahavat Israel", "love for Israel" that might conceal its political implications. Keywords: Transnationalism, diaspora, tourism, embodiment, Jewish youth, Taglit-Birthright, Czech Republic, Israel

"We do not belong yet to the scrapheap" - Paradoxes of care migration from the Czech Republic to Austria
Kuchyňková, Andrea ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Kiczková, Zuzana (referee)
ABSTRACT1 The thesis is focused on the social situation and social practices of female care migrants (at the age of 50 and above) from South Moravia (the region of Mikulovsko, Břeclavsko) and at regular intervals (circular migration) migrate for work to Austria as domestic workers- caregivers for seniors. The main aim of the text is to argue that translocal female migrants paradoxically perceive their labor migration as a specific way of the emancipation, despite the fact that they work in the so called live in-service jobs (where they live and work in private households) and often experience indignity. Thus care migration became an effective possibility for the extension of their gender power in the situation of transforming Czech society. This is done by paid reproductive work and better access to their income, which leads to personal consumption on their own interests and the overall personal benefit. The special attention is paid to the new forms of translocal care chains and new forms of partner cohabitation of these women (living apart together). Key words: female care migration, gender identity, semi-structured interview, translocal care chains, living apart together . 1 Tento abstrakt je upravenou verzí anglického abstraktu v článku "Ještě nepatřím do starého železa" aneb paradoxy migrace péče z ČR...
