Přibyláková, Martina ; Brož, Luděk (advisor) ; Sokolová, Věra (referee) ; Hrešanová, Ema (referee)
How is the experience of pregnancy in a patriarchal society shaped by pregnant women's socioeconomic status? So far, qualitative studies have primarily focused on the effect of socioeconomic status in healthcare, and unintended conception in poor adolescents. Based on a 17-month comparative ethnography conducted in Lima, the hyper-stratified capital of Peru, this dissertation addresses experiences of women of different socioeconomic dispositions including conception, abortion, and (inter)personal lived pregnancy experience. The dissertation employs the concept of reproductive habitus to reflect on the differing classed and gendered dispositions in women of different socioeconomic statuses as an embodiment of institutions: the institution of patriarchy and healthcare institutions. The dissertation identifies status-related reproductive dispositions/differences in forming pregnancy experience in four areas: (i) in women's conception circumstances primarily in terms of pregnancy (non)intentionality, women's childbearing age span, relationship status (integrity), and male partner (non)abandonment (desertion). Socioeconomically differing conception circumstances produce psycho-physiologically different human subjects. (ii) Women's reproductive habitus is expressed in women's possibilities of safe...

Stricker, Annika Maria ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Macková, Veronika (referee)
Author: Annika Stricker, BA Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Alice Němcová Tejkalová, Ph.D. Master Thesis: How Gendered Discrimination limits Women's Professional Practice in Conflict Reporting in Latin America English Abstract As war journalism is widely regarded as a men's domain, gendered discrimination limits women's professional practice in conflict reporting in Latin America. A continent, which is not only the deadliest region for journalists worldwide but also overly sexist due to patriarchal structures deeply rooted within Latin American cultures called "machismo". Based on a feminist theoretical framework and a phenomenological approach, female journalists' experiences and coping mechanisms with gendered discrimination were examined by conducting semi-structured interviews with ten Latin American journalists. The study shows, that female journalists in Latin America are sexualized, valued for their looks instead of their journalistic skills and often denied to cover certain beats and topics. This censors and silences female journalists as they are changing the way they practice journalism by not taking on risky tasks, moving to another country or stop exercising journalism altogether. However, female journalists in Latin America also developed progressive coping mechanisms such as taking safety measures and...

Polák, Lukáš ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This Master thesis focuses on the dynamic of the development and rethinking of the concept of the traditional Latino patriarchal family built up around male dominance. This work explores the changes of the traditional concept under the pressure of society of the United States in novels written in English by authors of Latino origin awarded for their novels after 2000. The most significant of them being Junot Díaz and his The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao; the other two are Mexican Female authors Stella Pope Duarte with If I Die in Juárez and Reyna Grande with Across a Hundred Mountains. The first part is purely theoretical, stemming from the concepts of traditional Latino masculinity, the role of the female and children in the patriarchal family in order to explain the clash of values and family crises which Latinos undergo once they are confronted with the different system of values of the United States and the consequences for all family members. In the second part, all three books are analyzed on the basis of the male - female polarity. Consequences for families are explored as seen by Latino/a authors. Finally, solutions and possible ways of escaping the vicious spiral of violence and tensions created by the changed paradigm penetrating the Latino family life as suggested in the novels are...

Sexuality education in Nicaragua
Gorokhova, Elena
This Diploma Thesis focuses on the sexuality education in the public schools of Nicaragua. Comprehensive sexuality education constitutes a system of medical and educational methods, which help to teach broad number of aspects of human sexuality. The materials for the study were gathered during a student internship in Nicaragua between February-March, 2018. The answers of all 200 participants were processed in Statistica. The results of the research illustrate a common attitude toward the need to implement more sexuality education content (81% of the respondents). It emphasizes the role of teachers and family members in adolescents` formation. As stated by 31% of the students, abstinence is taught foremost, and as the primary method of sexually transmitted diseases prevention. Furthermore, a relationship between gender and educational information was found; women are taught about abstinence more than men, 37% of women did not know about other methods of contraception except the abstinence. While the relationship between religiosity and sexual awareness is not relevant. The research also shows that most of the respondents (98%) are confident about their decisions on sexuality matters. and have a strong opinion on their sexual behaviour.
