"Don't get pricked!" Representation and the Politics of Sexuality in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Sexuality is embedded in and influences other social, political and economic trends, such as changes in political rhetoric, cultural values and lifestyle choices, and can thus be a fundamental lens through which to interpret and assess the broad processes of social change that have taken place in post-communist Central Europe. However, very little has been so far written about sexuality in relation to post-communist transition in East Central Europe. The article fills in this gap in scholarship, analyzing representations of sexuality in the Czech media, developments in traffic in women, and the new political discourse on homosexuality in the Czech Republic as both integral to and functions of the democratic and economic transition. By doing so, it shows how studies of gender politics in Central Europe can incorporate sexuality to gain insight into a wide range of social problems that at first glance seem far removed from questions of gender.

Sexualita je soucasti a ovlivnuje ostatni socialni, politicke a ekonomicke trendy, jako jsou zmeny v politicke retorice, kulturnich hodnotach a zivotnich volbach. Muze tak byt zasadni optikou, jejimz prostrednictvim je mozne interpretovat a analyzovat sirokou skalu procesu socialnich zmen, ktere se deji v post-komunisticke stredni Evrope. Nicmene, velmi malo bylo zatim o sexualite v teto souvislosti napsano. Tento clanek se snazi zaplnit tuto mezeru v odborne literature. Analyzuje reprezentaci sexualityv ceskych mediich, vyvoj obchodu se zenami a novy politicky diskurz o homosexualite v Ceske republice jako integralni soucasti demokraticke a ekonomicke transformace. Ukazuje tak, ze studiem genderove politiky ve stredni Evrope, jez zahrnuje sexualitu,je mozne proniknout k podstate spolecenske a politicke problematiky, ktera se na prvni pohled muze zdat od genderovych otazek vzdalena.
