Culture wars over family matters: the three grammars of commonality in the plural and their interplay in the disputes over the Slovak „anti-liberal“ referendum
Original language description
Based on an analysis of the recent Slovak referendum concerned with issues of “traditional family”, this paper explores the possibilities of finding common ground in public disputes involving disparate systems of moral evaluation. The February 2015 referendum, initiated by an alliance of conservative civic organizations with the intention to conserve the legal privileges currently enjoyed by the traditional heterosexual family model, gave rise to discussions rich in moral claims and resulted in a massive polarization of the Slovak society. Using the theoretical framework of pragmatic sociology (Thévenot), we examine how the different grammars of commonality in the plural and forms of engagement interplay in the heated public debates over conflicting notions of family and over the role the state in its regulation.
