The conflict between the pro-life and pro-choice movements over the question of the right to abortion can be assigned to the category of a (global) cultural war. Croatia is a region where significant desecularisation tendencies can be observed, and where there has been a return of religion into the public space. It is a region in which the Roman Catholic Church and the conservative movement intervene in the debates on the right to abortion and tend to shape the public discourse on this issue. The article responds to the debate about the existence of culture wars in the Croatian context. To establish the Croatian context of this situation, the text uses the concept of a‘postsecular conflict’ as defined by Kristina Stoeckl, who uses this term instead of the term ‘culture war’. The research is based on a content analysis of newspaper articles published in five different periodicals between 2016 and 2020 that all explicitly mention the March for Life in Zagreb. This is not the case of a Western concept being mechanically applied in a different non-Western context. The article transposes the concept of a postsecular conflict to the context of a country in which there is one dominant religious actor that intervenes in society. In the case of Croatia and other countries like this, the conflict between the pro-life and pro-choice movements plays out not only on the conservative-liberal line but also the religious-secular one.

In this article, we analyse the conditions behind the formation of the tenant initiative Moje Písnice, which existed in Prague between 2016 and 2020. In the theoretical part, we explain the concepts of urban movements and tenant movements in Central and Eastern Europe and emphasise the role of everyday life and emotions in the genesis of a collective actor. We use qualitative methodology based on an analysis of 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews with members and one supporter of the Moje Pisnice Initiative. This initiative provides an illustration of the formation of collective actors in the urban space in Central and Eastern Europe. We focus specifically on the historical and social conditions behind the initiative’s development and the emergence of a shared identity and shared housing expectations and the disappointment resulting from unfulfilled hopes. Other important factors that we discuss are the intersubjectivity of emotions and the emancipatory potential of the initiative’s organisational structure, which enabled the participation of people with no prior experience with activism. We also focus on the public’s sense of disillusionment with civic engagement and with the political system in general since 1989. This research contributes to the study of tenant movements in postsocialist countries, which are often an overlooked actor in one of the most important processes in the post-1989 transformation – privatisation. In contrast to previous research, we focus on the role of shared emotions and the subjective experience of historical processes.
