K genderovým zdrojům individualizačního habitu

100%

The text links the spread of the 'solo' living with the unequal arrangement of traditional households (either regarding respondents' families of origin or in view of the experience with their partners) which is taken as the essential source of longer term advance of the individualizing habitus. The qualitatively indicated categories highlight the mechanisms of the emergence and social reproduction of individualizing habitus. If the traditional gender split of space - men's public space and field of power versus women's private space of household and reproduction (Bourdieu 2000:85) is taken into account, the logical expression of the emerging individualizing habitus rests in the sphere of the 'solo' living where this habitus may spread irrespective of this given traditional split of space since individualized household represents private sphere and the given public consensus is not violated.

Political forces dominating the mainstream of the Czech political scene accuse independently living individuals of selfish privatization and extrapolated consumerism. However, alongside this 'privatization' the shared household model of living (not in a couple or within own family) extensively spreads among independently living individuals. The milieu of this specific households, which represent so called 'chosen families' consisting of flat mates and friends in the flat or house rented in group, is along with single occupied households the source of what is described as 'urban tribes'. Precisely these independently leaving individuals and their specific structures in contrary prevent and confront the societal erosion and disintegration. Their life-styles and everyday practices extensively lead to activities contributing to community revival at the local level as well as to maintaining of an open character of the society more generally.

In a qualitative study of single people conducted in 2003 one particular finding stood out: a significant number of the interviewees (economically independent and without a partner) revealed their involvement in various other forms of regular or even long-term relationships. In an analysis of in-depth interviews conducted in 2003-2005 the following categories of alternative relationships were identified as typical for the social context of contemporary Czech society: 'relationships with married lovers', 'weekend marriages', 'long-distance relationships', 'one-night stands', 'open relationships', 'lover in case of need', and 'relationships to prove oneself'. The existence of relationships that are not long-term or reproduction-oriented is not a result of any deliberate strategy but is rather a consequence of the complex changes in mentality and behaviour that occurred in the 1990s. These shifts, for example, relating to professional commitment and career satisfaction, tend to be understood as the explicit result of labour-market pressures on individual actors, but research has shown that, even at the level of individual actors, alternative approaches to partner relationships and reproduction are much more the result of people adopting and internalising post-1989 cultural templates.
