“…Klimaskepticismus se v těchto argumentacích propojuje s euroskepticismem [srov. Čermák, Patočková 2020;Vidomus 2013]. Pro některé je to příležitost ke kritice klimatického hnutí, které se dostatečně nesnaží pomáhat v pandemii, a rovněž globální klimatické politiky, zejména té evropské.…”

The article is dedicated to reflecting the links between the climate crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the context of Czech social media, specifically on several blogging platforms. The processes leading to the climate and pandemic crises are highly intertwined, based in the way humans interact with the environment on a global scale. However, the circumstances and consequences of both crises, as well as the ways they are dealt with, also share common features. The authors identify such contexts as reflected on blogging platforms by undertaking a qualitative analysis of texts from an interpretative phenomenological perspective. Climate scepticism is connected to pandemic scepticism, on the one hand, and to acceptance of the pandemic as a real threat, on the other hand. Conversely, acceptance of the climate crisis can be associated with both acceptance of the pandemic and pandemic scepticism.

“…Moc, která rozhoduje ve vězeňském prostředí muţských věznic o postavení jedince v rámci sociální hierarchie, můţe mít mnoho různých zdrojů, které sahají od ekonomické síly přes sílu fyzickou aţ ke schopnosti psychologické manipulace (Dirga -Lochmannová -Juříček 2015). Ke stejnému účelu je vyuţívána i schopnost manipulovat s jedinci na úrovni psychické.…”

Violence and the Formation of Social Statuses in the Prison Subculture. The text focuses on the relationship between aggression and the formation of social status in prisoners in selected prison with maximum security. The article is based on a sociological survey conducted from February to April 2022. A questionnaire survey among convicted men, classified as a prison with medium and high grade security, addresses the perception of risk of conflicts between prisoners, especially in terms of age differences and number of incarcerations. Methodologically, the text takes the form of a case study, mainly due to the complexity of obtaining valid data from convicted criminals. The main goal is to evaluate the level of threat to the life and health of prisoners and prison staff in the real environment. The article deals with the manifestations of aggressive behavior in the execution of the sentence and their reflection by prisoners. Part of the text does not cover only the typology of individual manifestations of the so-called prison violence, but also the presentation of diagnostics and monitoring of these excesses by the Prison Service of the Czech Republic.

“…Thus, they represent instances of what Toole et al (2016: 5) note as adaptation that may happen ‘haphazardly and unconsciously’. This is of importance specifically in the Czech context, where climate change scepticism amongst the population has been one of the highest in Europe (Čermák and Patočková, 2020). Moreover, this observation about environmentally friendly everyday practices being motivated by other than environmental values, or economic necessity, corresponds to what other authors have observed in Czechia in the case of a different sustainable activity, which is producing home-grown food (Jehlička and Smith, 2011; Jehlička and Daněk, 2017; Smith and Jehlička, 2013).…”

Inconspicuous adaptations to climate change in everyday life: Sustainable household responses to drought and heat in Czech cities

Adaptation to climate change is often understood as a top-down decision-making and policy-implementing process, as well as application of expert knowledge, to prevent or reduce its (locally specific) negative consequences. In high-income societies, adaptation at the household level then frequently refers to adopting technological fixes distributed through the market, sometimes at a considerable cost. Informed by a study in the context of Central Europe, this article aims to discuss different practices of households and individuals that do not require increased consumption of energy or materials, but still help adapting to climate change in some of its local expressions, such as heatwaves and drought. They were described by participants in focus groups in six cities in the Czech Republic. I argue that such ‘inconspicuous adaptations’ emerge without connection to the climate change debate, or without deeper knowledge about the issue. Yet, they should not be overlooked as unimportant and short-term ‘coping responses’ and underestimated in this debate. They are part and parcel of the ongoing process of societal adaptation to climate change.
