The aim of my dissertation is to focus on a real act of crime, that happened in the year 1951 in small Czech village, Babice. This act led to the series of show trials with alleged perpetrators - mostly representatives of Catholic Curch, private farmers and representatives of the resistance movement. In these trials more than one hundered people were persecuted and eleven of them were executed. I was also trying to make a brief introduction into the issues of mutual relationship between the Communist state and the Catholic Church, as well as the private farmers.

Čechová, Pavla ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
This diploma work is focused on the situation of fathers on parental leave in the Czech Republic. The aim of research is to find out how fathers feel on their parental leave, what is positive or negative for them and how they evaluate this experience. The theoretical part describes the legislative framework of parental leave and parental allowance and explains the concepts such as femininity, masculinity, maternity and paternity. Then I deal with gender stereotypes and situation on the labour market, and their influences on the decision for starting parental leave. Then I formulate arguments for more father's participation in taking care of children. The empirical part is focused on a qualitative research. The research was realized by interviews done with 10 fathers on parental leaves, and analyzed by coding. Then I made a connection between new data and theoretical resources which are described in the first part. At the end I indicate the posibility of doins some other research, for example with both parents.

1 UNIVERZITA KARLOVA V PRAZE FAKULTA HUMANITNÍCH STUDIÍ Katedra genderových studií IVANA TAŠEVSKÁ Porovnání situace matek a otců pečujících o děti formou střídavé péče v České republice Diplomová práce Vedoucí práce: Ing. Petr Pavlík, Ph.D. PRAHA 2011 2 ABSTRACT Split-up of family is not a gender-neutral phenomenon. In most cases, children are confided to the care of mother after the split-up. The family law recognizes also other forms of care, but both joint-custody parenting is rarely used in the Czech Republic. However, there is a tendency to change the state affairs in recent years. Supporters and opponents of joint custody voice their arguments in the public sphere, but relatively little attention has been paid so far to those who are supposed practice joint custody parenting, the parents. That is why, the focus of my research has been a comparison of experience of mothers and fathers practicing joint custody of their children in the Czech Republic. Concretely, I wanted to study whether, similarly with foreign studies, the mothers and the fathers experience joint custody differently. For example, whether the fathers have received a bigger support from their family and friends than have the mothers and whether the fathers experience less financial stress than the mothers. My research is explorative...

Hampejsová, Jana ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
The theme of balancing the two spheres - public and private - is a key aspect in enforcement of gender equality. Setting conditions on the labour market and in the area of work-life balancing enfluence life strategies and professional choices of women and men. One of these possible strategies how to combine "work and family" might be a. part-time job. Therefore I aimed at women as employees working on part-time jobs and simultaneously caring for little children or aging parents. In the analytical part of my diploma theses I analyze three key areas which are motivations to part-time jobs, realization of part-time jobs and positives and negatives of part-time jobs. On the basis of personal experience of my respondents I found out reasons which lead to the choice of part-time jobs, how my respondents balance their duties in public and private sphere, how they find part-time jobs, what factors influence their decisions, how they realize part-time jobs and what positives and negatives my respondents find out when working part-time. I was also concerned how my respondents perceive their semi present in public and private sphere and how they solve the problem of child care and aging parents.

Gender aspects of presentation of science in media : Presentation of female and male scientists
Tenglerová, Hana ; Havelková, Hana (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
Science plays an important role in society, has an authoritative position and gets considerable financial resources. The media's image is constantly shaping and influencing the perception of society at large and the scientist alone. The work focuses on how science is constructed in the media from a gender perspective, how it reflects and reproduces the gendered order of our society. Research focus here concentrates on the presentation of women and men - scientists in four major Czech newspapers. Theoretical basis of the work are constructivism and particularly feminist media theory. Metodology is based on quantitative content analysis and qualitative analysis, inspired by semiology. Analysis results show that the women scientists are in the presentation of science ignored and their contribution is reduced in many aspects. From a quantitative underrepresenation, to their higher concentration at the backsides of the papers, the less authoritative role given to them in articles or by using of motherhood as a means of distracting from their expertise: preferred representatives of medial science are male. Key words: gender, media, science.

Sexual harassment as an invisible problem of Czech universities: the experience of implementing anti-discrimination policies in abroad and looking for a definition within the Czech context
Tupá, Barbora ; Šiklová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
Sexuální obtěžování je téma, které vyvolává posměšky, odmítavé postoje a v lepším případě rozpačité reakce. Jen málokteré téma je opředeno tolika mýty a jen málokterý pojem je vykládán tak mnohoznačně. Proč skutečnost, že určitá skupina lidí je opakovaně fyzicky i psychicky napadána a diskriminována, zažívá strach, ponížení a nespravedlnost, nezakládá všeobecnou snahu těmto lidem pomoci a toto odsouzeníhodné chování zastavit? Cílem této práce tedy je (1) představit problém sexuálního obtěžování, zmapovat nástroje a procedury fungující na zahraničních univerzitách při potírání sexuálního obtěžování a představit je jako inspiraci pro situaci v České republice. Zároveň si všímám určitých kulturních specifik českého prostředí, ve kterém pojmy jako genderové či sexuální obtěžování nabývá vlastních významů. Dalším cílem je (2) skrze hloubkové rozhovory s vysokoškolskými studenty a studentkami nahlédnout, jak zachází sami studující s pojmem sexuální obtěžování, jakými ho naplňují významy a hodnotí přístupu vzdělávací instituce k řešení případů obtěžujícího chování ze strany vyučujících.

Vohlídalová, Marta ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
The thesis deals with relationships between the labour market and the private, family and partnership life in the contemporary Czech society. The Czech Republic has undergone many changes since the year 1989. Labour market and family and private life are the domains that have been substantially affected be these changes. Attention is focused on the question how working people perceive the influence of the working life on their private and family life under new conditions existing on the labour market (such as increasing job mobility, working-hour flexibility, new ways of the work organisation, and rising unemployment). Another topics discussed in this work are the ways in which people solve questions o f a coordination of two working careers within a couple and the partnership life in a context of professional lives of partners. A comparison of the level of conflict experienced between the working and private life in several European countries is also performed. The present work is based on a quantitative analysis of the two data sources. The first part is based on the data collected in a study involving 5510 respondents, which was done in the Czech Republic in the year 2005. The second part is based on the European Social Survey (ESS) data collected in the years 2004 and 2005. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
