Jon Stewart’s revisitation of Bakunin in Hegel’s Century offers an opportunity to reflect on contemporary libertarian expressions of individual freedom. The most alarming support of such freedom found its expression in revolts against COVID-19 public health measures. The goal of this paper is to reflect on Bakunin’s concept of freedom and revolt, in order to answer the question whether this form of rebellion is a rational expression of human freedom. I proceed by explaining Bakunin’s theory of freedom in community and the concept of revolt. Then I move on to the critique of authority and science. In the concluding section, I present his critique of the State and point at the economic inequalities to show how they exacerbate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. Lastly, I answer the question if revolt against pandemic measures can find justification in Bakunin’s premises.

The study deals with the pandemic situation caused by the spread of the virus COVID-19. The author presents results of analysis of the data collected during the piloting phase of the research focused on the children resilience and adaptive strategies during pandemic. She discusses both theoretical theses and methodological aspects of the anthropological study of children. Attention is paid to the specifics of anthropological research on children in comparison with research on adults. The piloting phase of research was helpful for the specification of the research tools, but it also revealed important themes, such as attitudes toward conspiracies among older children.

The article deals with the ordinances of the Public Health Office and of regional public health authorities as a new type of generally binding legal act. The subject of criticism is the way in which the law empowered the Public Health Office and regional public health authorities – as state budget organizations – to issue generally binding ordinances. The way in which this legislation is published is also criticized.

The study explored the impact of perceived stress, stressors related to COVID-19, loneliness, and resilience on the mental health of university students after the strictest lockdown. A total sample of 2107 university students (age 18-62 years, mean age = 22.73, SD = 3.77; 63.2% of women) was recruited. Brief Resilience Scale, Brief Symptom Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, and adapted version of the COVIDiStress survey were used. The data were analysed using hierarchical OLS regression models. The most significant predictors of mental health indicators were perceived stress, loneliness, and resilience. However, the sum score of COVID-related stressors did not significantly increase explained variance. Specific COVID-related stressors, such as pandemic-induced loneliness, worsened relationships, and worries about infection, had notable effects on depression, anxiety, and Global Severity Index of psychopathology. The study contributes to a better understanding of the actual topic related to the COVID-19 pandemic on university students and outlines practical implications for policy making.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the willingness to comply with the Covid-19 related public health measures has been crucial. The aim of our paper was to explore the factors related to the declared level of compliance with the anti-pandemic measures in Slovakia. Our analysis is based on three waves of the How are you, Slovakia? Survey, carried out at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of 2021. Our findings suggest that demographic factors such as gender, age, and education are important in terms of compliance, but the feeling of being threatened by the coronavirus, trust in scientific institutions, and trust in the government can be even more crucial.

The article responds to current global circumstances, processes and changes related to ongoing pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, subsequently named SARS-CoV-2, and analyses their impact on the Slovak language. We focus our attention on two key terms SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, and we describe them from the point of view of general characteristics of terms. We observe their application, adaptation and usage in the Slovak language in everyday communication. We also pay attention to other related terms, which appeared in a connection with COVID-19 pandemic. Relevant government measures, which have been introduced and applied in order to protect further spread of the virus, are another source of new terminology used on a daily basis. From March to May 2020 we collected a representative corpus of COVID-19 related language material in Slovak media discourses (television, radio, the Internet) and subsequently we continued observing how these words and terms have been preferably used in the language during the period of May – November 2020. Our conclusions revealed significant dynamic processes in this terminology during SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 pandemic.

The essay presents the thesis that despite their activist tradition, Czech theatres abandoned any social criticism during the COVID-19 pandemic because they were unable to speak publicly about the structural conditions of the crisis (over-tourism, mobility, etc.) and possibilities for change. The author argues that it is because the language of theatre professionals is nowadays shallow and clichéd and serves rather as a strategy to secure the positions in the artistic field than the true speech capable of addressing the public. This situation is interpreted in terms of neoliberalism/capitalist realism (Mark Fisher) producing the pragmatic language incapable of imagination and transformation. The intellectuals’ speech of transcendentals (detached from the reality) is contrasted with true speech (Martin Buber, François Laruelle) originating in immanence. The artists are depicted as the keepers of personal, archetypal language capable of producing universal (“terrestrial” – Bruno Latour) images of utopia. This is discussed especially in the context of the environmental crisis.
