“…Pozornost věnovaná těmto sociálním interakcím a napětí mezi individuálním a kolektivním, v nichž se emoce zároveň tvoří a vyjednávají, přitom tvoří páteř interpretativní tradice sociologie emocí, která konceptualizuje emoce jako významotvornou praktiku [Flam, Kleres 2015;Gutierrez Rodriguez 2008]. Emoce nás mohou zahánět do úzkých i povznášet k úctyhodným činům, jejich přítomnost můžeme sledovat jak ve fyzických reakcích [Jasper 2011], tak obecně v kultuře [Bondi 2016;Czarniawska 2015].…”

Why teachers do not take child sick leave? Emotional strategies, Micropolitics, and the self-conception of teachers with small children in a Pandemic abstract: Czechia had one of the longest school lockdowns during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Teachers with small children consequently faced a number of emotional dilemmas that primarily stemmed from the conflict between their role as a teacher and their role as a parent, which unfolded in the home as the one and only space in which to perform work, family care, and self-care. The paper is organised around the question of why teachers in this difficult situation did not take advantage of child sick leave, a public policy measure that could have helped them to reduce this conflict and to care for their children and their own mental health. In this study we draw on research into the emotional dimensions of public policies, micropolicies and micropolitics, and the self-conception of teachers. The analysis is based on a data sample of public policy documents, interviews with nine teachers, and discussion threads in a public Facebook group dedicated to teachers. We found that the main reasons teachers did not take child sick leave were their emotionally strongly sense of the imperatives attached to their self-conception as a teacher and supported by the micropolitics of schools, and their perception of child sick leave as representing uncertainty and failure rather than relief. Child sick leave has moreover been recognised as a public policy measure that is anchored in the modern separation of the public (work) and the private (family, care) spheres, which in the conditions of the pandemic crisis revealed its limitations.

The first part of the methodological chapter explains in detail how and why the style of writing bringing together empirical material and fiction, termed “creative nonfiction,” was employed, and illustrates its main functions: illustrative, allegorical, organizing, effective, and reflexive. The author also explains most of the metaphors used in the research monograph including the character of James, the fictional journalist, and argues that the book profits precisely from the intersections of the factual and fictional narratives. The second part of the chapter re-tells the ethnographic research process, following four stages: establishing the field, immersion in the research problem, disentanglement, and return to the field. Kotišová also addresses the epistemology and methodology of studying emotions, and the opportunistic, multi-sited, and participatory logic of the research design.
