Postsecular Space of Integration
This article examines how the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren congregation in Brno-Židenice became a postsecular space of integration for Ukrainian refugees after the 2022 Russian invasion. Drawing on eight interviews and participant observation, it shows how the congregation’s sacred site evolved from a humanitarian hub into a sociocultural environment where faith and everyday practices intersect. Using lived religion and postsecular framew…
Young adults' re-imagining of postsecular spaces in Czechia
The process of postsecularisation is present not only in Western Europe but also in post-communist countries. This paper focuses on the way young adults who do not have personal experiences with communist anti-religious ideology create their own religion in postsecular society and re-imagine (post)secular spaces through personal belief. The primary assumption is that young adults, living in the specific environment of the postsecular society of C…
Aktivity pražských křesťanských církví ve veřejném (post)sekularizovaném prostoru
With the growing secularization of society, the privatization of religion, and low trust in religious institutions, Prague Christian churches are having a hard time in succeeding. Nevertheless, most of them can find their place in society, providing activities beyond worship for their adherents and the general public. This contribution focuses on the social and cultural activities of Christian churches in Prague, analyzing the factors influencing…
Building the Church and Missionizing in a ‘Religiously Indifferent’ Country
Czechia could be labeled as country of an indifferent approach to religious ideas, as religious faith is considered a private issue, and the role of religion in the public sphere is low. This article summarizes the first attempt to research Korean Protestant churches active in current Czechia. A total of fourteen churches is briefly overviewed stating that the churches are not successful in gaining new members throughout the Czech population. Als…
Development of Czech feminist and queer geographies
In this contribution we discuss the obstacles and share our opinions about the causes of delayed development of feminist and queer approaches in Czech and to some extent also Slovak human geographies. We primarily focus on a critical description of causes and factors that affected and continue to hinder their presence within local mainstream geographical thought. Among the most pressing problems, we identify the historically conditioned isolation…
Auto‐photographic study of everyday emotional geographies
Recent developments in cultural geography have brought forth everyday life and emotions as critical categories for understanding place. Yet, the focus on everyday emotional geographies also presents methodological challenges. This paper argues that auto‐photography is a particularly well‐suited method to explore the intricate relations between everyday practices, emotions and the formation of places. Auto‐photography combines participant‐generate…
City with or without God? Features of post-secularism in religious landscape of post-communist Prague
The religious climate caused significant changes over the last few decades which led to intense debates about post-secularism in Western Europe. However, there is particularly a distinct lack of analyses of the features of post-secularism in post-communist cities. The paper draws on the case study of Prague where the religious landscape is in many ways unique in a European context because of its highly secularized society. Nevertheless, Prague al…
God was with me everywhere’
In this paper, we approach religion and spirituality through the analytic lens of the everyday and examine how ordinary women make sacred space through their embodied, emotional, and spatially varying practices. Our research is grounded in Czechia where about 80% of inhabitants do not declare any religious affiliation and ‘new’ religions are on the rise. We deploy auto-photography as a method that invites participants’ own visual representations …
Women’s everyday spirituality in Diamond Way Buddhism
The Western world is experiencing increasing popularity of new religious movements whose adherents tend to spirituality, a subjective, personal form of religion. These spiritual forms shape the spaces of everyday life, their meanings, perceptions, and experiences, which is starting to be reflected in new geographies of religion. In Czechia, one of the most rapidly growing new religious movements is Diamond Way Buddhism. This contribution focuses …
