Decoding gender in smart home research: A critical literature review
Promoted as transformative of personal lifestyles and broader socio-environmental strategies, smart homes often deliver material change without disrupting entrenched social norms. As such, they tend to reinforce existing social structures instead of challenging or reforming them. This article presents the first cross-disciplinary critical review of 92 smart home publications to evaluate the extent to which gender has been meaningfully addressed i…
Situating do-it-yourself: A hybridizing perspective from central and Eastern Europe
Who Gets heard/hurt in Gender-Based Domestic Violence Research: Comparing Ethical Concerns in Three Qualitative Research Designs
Ignorance as a Factor in the Inconsistent Regulation of Domestic Violence against Women as Mirrored in the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this article, we interpret some of the findings from an extensive explorative qualitative study conducted from April to December 2020 that used semi-structured interviews, interviews with clients of an assistance-providing organisation, and analyses of concrete cases from the period of the first pandemic lockdown in the Czech Republic. Domestic violence, especially in the form of intimate partner violence against women, was expected to grow in…

Post/socialist chemical research: A gendered politics of visual representation
This article explores changes to the strongly gendered politics of representation in applied chemical research using visual material from company magazines of Czech-based chemical plants (1969–2000). This representation overlaps with identified developments in the gender order and how these relate to the disputed Cold War discourse. The focus on visual representations gives us a novel perspective on the intersection of technology, gender and geop…
Staying in a fallout shelter: Exploring Ostalgia Through Post-Socialist Heterotopia
This article details our attempts at making sense of an ostalgic heterotopic space. We relay here our analysis of staying in and exploring a disused air raid shelter built during WWII, converted into a fallout shelter at the beginning of the Cold War and recently repurposed in an anti-communist museum/tourist hotel/ostalgic canteen called 10Z Bunker. As we enter the subterranean tunnels packed with memorabilia from an indistinct 'past', we strive…
Scenes in and outside the library: Continuity and change in contesting feminist knowledge on the semi-periphery
Feminist sociological research is well institutionalised in the Czech Republic with two major departments at the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. However, it would be wrong to believe that the knowledge produced by them goes uncontested. In the article, we analyse the de-legitimizing strategies used to discredit and denounce such knowledge in two particular cases that entered the media in 2015 and 2017. In the first case, …
