The results of research on domestic labour consistently show that women are responsible for more housework tasks than men. At the same time, there is growing public awareness of gender role equality. However, there is little evidence on whether there has been any change in the perception of fairness in the division of housework and whether this view differs in different families. Using data from the ISSP 2002 and 2011/2012, this article seeks to explore the relationship between the division of housework and its perceived fairness. Using latent class regression analysis four distinct types of housework division and perceptions and individual characteristics that predict cluster membership of housework division are identified. The most prevalent type are couples in which there is a traditional division of housework and who divide further into two groups based on whether they view this division is fair or unfair. Cohabiting couples are more likely than married couples to share housework equally and to see this arrangement as fair. Based on a distributive justice perspective, important predictors of cluster membership are found to be relative income, economic activity, gender, and partnership status. However, the findings provide only limited evidence of any change in the division of housework and perceptions about housework in the Czech Republic over the last decade.

The article ties in with the scholarship on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with parents of children under 12, we examine the processes that led to the increase or dismantling of the gender division of labour in families during the first nationwide lockdown. Using the concepts of path dependency and ‘doing’ and ‘undoing’ gender, we explain the strategies couples with children used to adapt to the enormous increase in reproductive work in the family during lockdown. ‘Doing gender’ practices witnessed during lockdown included an acceptance of the increased care work as the responsibility of women, ensuring ‘a room of one’s own’ only for men, and separating the public and private sphere only for men. Practices that led to ‘undoing gender’ involved mainly the explicit negotiation between partners of the division of labour during the lockdown and the organisation of reproductive work in ‘shifts’. The division of labour within a couple before the pandemic proved to be crucial for what strategy they chose to adapt to the lockdown. According to our findings, extending the egalitarian division of labour has led to greater satisfaction among partners and indicates greater societal resilience to crises.

The aim of the article is to answer the following question: to what extent public perception of women entrepreneurs in Poland is determined by the gender stereotype concerning the division of labour between men and women. High percentage of women entrepreneurs in Poland, together with a positive stereotype of woman entrepreneur may be a sign of a new picture of woman – professionally active and successful – becoming more and more popular and socially acceptable. In the text, the analysis of cultural preconditions for the development of women entrepreneurship is carried out. Based on the results of public opinion surveys and the analysis of the mass media content, the author attempts to construct a social image of woman entrepreneur.

Neo-Luddism is based on the belief that modern societies cannot transcend the (capitalist) division of labour and official labour institutions. This paper traces the intellectual sources of Neo-Luddism, proposes a typology, and examines its relevance for studying contemporary work. We differentiate four types of Neo-Luddism. Economic Neo-Luddites (1) act on anti-libertarian instincts and advocate re-agrarisation or reindustrialisation to prevent unemployment and degradation of the community. They are apologists of primeval groups such as the family, nation or religious community, and they postulate reconciling work efficiency with non-economic values and collective life. This attitude is linked in the economic sphere to romantic-pastoral Neo-Luddism (2), associated with environmental movements questioning modern mass production, manifested in fashion for ecology, vegetarianism, and naturalist escapism. The romantic variety may or may not have religious connotations. Furthermore, we distinguish (3) spiritual-ideological Neo-Luddism. This trend is characterized by scepticism toward mainstream science and technology and, broadly, to materialist epistemology. A separate strand is the so-called anarchic Neo-Luddism (4), which directly draws inspiration from the sabotage tactics used by original Luddites. It attacks the state, technology and science (the technosphere) with methods borrowed from the ‘enemy’. Its representatives are anarchoprimitivists, cultural saboteurs, cyberpunk culture, hackers, etc.

Neo-luddyzm wyrasta z przekonania, że współczesne społeczeństwa nie mogą zmienić (kapitalistycznego) podziału pracy i oficjalnych instytucji regulujących tę sferę. W artykule scharakteryzowano intelektualne źródła neo-luddyzmu, zaproponowano typologię i wskazano na jej konsekwencje dla badań współczesnych rynków pracy. Rozróżniamy cztery typy neo-luddyzmu. Ekonomiczni neo-luddyści (1) kierują się odruchami anty-libertariańskimi i opowiadają za reagraryzacją lub reindustrializacją, aby zapobiec bezrobociu i degradacji społeczności. Postawa ta wiąże się w sferze ekonomicznej z neo-luddyzmem romantyczno-pastoralnym (2), związanym z ruchami ekologicznymi kwestionującymi nowoczesną masową produkcję. Przejawia się on w modzie na wegetarianizm i naturalistyczny eskapizm. Odmiana pastoralna może mieć konotacje religijne. Ponadto wyróżniamy (3) neo-luddyzm duchowo-ideologiczny, który tworzą apologeci grup pierwotnych, takich jak rodzina, naród czy wspólnota religijna; nacisk na wydajność działalności gospodarczej proponują zastąpić wartościami poza ekonomicznymi związanymi z życiem zbiorowym lub samorozwojem osobistym. Charakteryzuje się sceptycyzmem wobec głównego nurtu nauki i techniki oraz, ogólnie rzecz biorąc, epistemologii materialistycznej. Osobnym wątkiem jest tak zwany neo-luddyzm anarchistyczny (4), który bezpośrednio czerpie inspirację z taktyki sabotażu stosowanej przez pierwotnych luddystów. Atakuje państwo, technologię i naukę (technosferę) metodami zapożyczonymi od „wroga”. Jego przedstawicielami są np. anarchoprymitywiści, kulturowi sabotażyści, przedstawiciele kultury cyberpunkowej, hakerzy, itp.

Digital platforms are reshaping the geometry of the world. Their wide adoption by the population worldwide for an increasing number of activities, confer them a dominant position, which challenges established powers. Their control over the global flow of data and their algorithmic treatment leads to new asymmetries of power. New systems emerge, that unlike the Westphalian States do not correspond to territories on a map, but to complex networks controlling sectors of activities at a global scale. It is a real challenge and a necessity to reinvent a grammar of territories, to be able to grasp the new objects and their dependencies, and address the related issues of social justice and sustainable interaction with our planet.

In the 1920s and 1930s the Czech town of Zlín was shaped by a plan of the Baťa shoe company to build a model company town exemplifying the perfect organisation of physical and social space (structuring society through the structure of space and vice versa), in which there is an order to everything and everyone has a distinct position within that order. This intention was tied to the needs of a society of mass production and was based on the standardisation and normalisation not only of production and industry facilities, but also of settlements and dwellings and even of the individual activities of people and their lives as a whole. In this society, the concentration of workers in larger factories and their subordination to precise division of labour entailed the imposition of disciplinary power over their bodies and the indoctrination of their minds with corporate ideology. All this, along with the surveillance and control of the people’s lives, not just at work in the production plant but also in their homes, their schools, during their leisure time activities, and even through the overall urban layout itself, combined to give the town’s inhabitantsa specific collective identity. This is a story as much about the transformation of a small village community into a model town of modernity as it is about farmers, herders and craftspeople becoming modern factory workers and seeing their social field, habitus and identity changed. And it is even more the story of the function of urban space and and how its transformations usher in changes in the way of life.

Dokonano zdefiniowania podstawowych pojęć wyodrębnionych w słowach kluczowych, wynikających z problematyki artykułu. Scharakteryzowano podstawowe prawa organizacji pracy: ekonomii, podziału, optymalizacji, koncentracji i harmonii. W prawie ekonomii wyróżniono dodatkowo między innymi inne aspekty tego prawa, jak: wydajność, czas i oszczędność. Dokonano podziału pracy ludzkiej według jej rodzajów: usługowa, produkcyjna, twórcza. Opisano prawo optymalnej działalności polegające na doborze różnych czynników i środków pracy w celu ich powiązania ze sobą i uzyskania optymalnego wyniku końcowego. Podział i koncentracja wymagają zharmonizowania wykonawstwa rozdzielonego na różne organy, gdyż od tego zależy końcowy wynik pracy tych organów działających dla realizacji wspólnego celu.

The fundamental concepts arising from the article issues and highlighted in the keywords were defined. Also, the basic rules of the organization of work, i.e. economy, division of labour, optimization, concentration and harmony were characterized. Additionally, in the law of economy, inter alia, other aspects of the law were distinguished, such as: efficiency, time and saving. Human labour was divided according to its types: service, production and creativity. The law of optimal activity which is based on the selection of various factors and work means in order to connect them and thus to obtain an optimal final result was described. Division and concentration require a harmonized performance distributed to various authorities as they condition the final result of the work of these authorities acting to achieve a common goal.
