Dance profession from the perspective of aspirational work. The impact of romanticisation of work and gendered labour market on the dance profession Abstract In professions motivated by love, there is an easy overlap between leisure and work time, which is also the premise of the ideology of romanticization of work, which seems to be the solution to the constant search for work-life balance. When work becomes a passion, the problem seemingly disappears. The promise of a future spent doing what we enjoy motivates us to devote time and energy to an activity that will hopefully turn into a profession. However, work motivated by love has a self-exploitative and individualising potential, where discussion of poor work conditions and low pay becomes secondary. This paper explores the effects of the romanticization of work in the dance profession, the way it is shaped by aspirations for future success, and how the gendered labour market translates into the working conditions of male and female dancers. Based on interviews with dancers working in the Czech Republic and Belgium, it explores what their work entails, what motivates them and how they perceive their working conditions Keywords: Dance, work, dance profession, romantization of work, aspirational work, insecurity, gender, gender representations, precarity

Life strategies of women in science
Novotná, Hana ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the ways of harmonization of harmonization of scientific work and care in the context of the transformation of science. The author aims to describe the transformation of the institutional aspects of scientific work and its'reflection in the biographies of women scientists. At first the author focuses on the insight into the history of science to map participation of women on the scientific inquiry and to describe the transformation of science. Afterwards she moves her focus towards the actual discourse of equal chances for men and women in science, which high lightens contradictory pressures of the standards of scientific work and motherhood that women in science must face. In the main part of the paper the results of a qualitative survey conducted by the author are presented. The author came to a conclusion that even though the gender stereotypes on men's' and women's' role in science and family are still persisting some progress towards the equality of men and women in science has been made. On the other hand the transformation of scientific work is posing new threat of insecurity of the scientific work that is grounded in the principles of free market Keywords: Science, women, transformation of science, precarity
