My 2024 in books

-
Image
  This year, I was in the process of finishing my first book ever. As a newbie to book-writing, I learned a valuable lesson – a finished manuscript is just a first step. Several additional and burdensome steps lurk on the path to the final publication. As the more seasoned among you can vividly imagine, my 2024 was full of multiple rounds of editing and proofing. I also decided to to create the index myself. As a devout book lover and inspired by the wonderful Index, A History of the , I just had to. However, I will gladly hire a professional indexer the next time. In addition to my book-writing duties, I devoted the latter half of summer to prepare two courses for my autumn teaching duties. Sadly enough, the Faculty of Arts at Charles University does not offer its first-time lecturers paid time so that they can prepare in advance. Precarity, here I come! The rumour has it that at least at certain faculties of Masaryk University in Brno, you get paid several months before your teac...

The very first review of An Ethnographic Chiefdom

-
My book was honoured by the first review ever! The title for being the first to review  An Ethnographic Chiefdom goes to Veronika Pehe, a Czech historian working at the Institute of Contemporary History at the Czech Academy of Sciences. She is an expert on socialism, postsocialism and Czech(oslovak) popular culture. Veronika is currently working on a research on early nineties' entrepreneurs. The title also goes to Czech Journal of Contemporary History , where the review was published. Veronika's amiable, yet thorough review summarises the central points of my book and offers some critical remarks on the viability of my approach. So, if you are looking for an extended summary of my book written by a human reader, visit https://sd.usd.cas.cz/corproofs.php .

Recenze: O Slepých skvrnách Daniela Prokopa

-
Image
Vzhledem k tomu, že mi odevzdání disertace trochu uvolnilo ruce, měl jsem možnost se vrhnout na knihy, na které v posledním roce nebyl čas. Jedna z mých voleb padla na loni vydanou knihu Slepé skvrny od českého sociologa Daniela Prokopa. Její podtitul – O chudobě, vzdělávání, populismu a dalších výzvách české společnosti – napovídá, že ambice má autor ušlechtilé a nemalé. Chce poukázat na problémy české společnosti, ukázat cesty možné nápravy a přitom oslovit širokou laickou veřejnost i politickou reprezentaci. Kniha mě zaujala natolik, že jsem se rozhodnul napsat menší recenzi.   Daniel Prokop: Slepé skvrny. O chudobě, vzdělávání, populismu a dalších výzvách české společnosti . Brno: Host, 2019 Kniha je rozdělena do sedmi tematických kapitol, které se postupně věnují následujícím tématům: chudobě, školství a vzdělávání, menšinám a radikalismu, populismu a demokracii, daňovému systému, národním stereotypům a mýtům, volbám a volebním průzkumům. Nebudu se zabývat jednotlivými ka...
