Antropologické perspektivy současných světů: trendy, přístupy a výzvy

Author(s): Hana Horáková,Lucie Sehnálková,Kateřina Mildnerová,Nicola Raúl,Jakub Havlíček,Daniel Topinka,Kristýna Hájková,Jaroslav Šotola,Michaela Konopíková / Language(s): Czech

The book is an outcome of the cultural anthropologists' research team at the Faculty of Arts, Palacky University Olomouc. The aim is to contribute to the contemporary debate on cultural anthropology and deepen an understanding for the key anthropological concepts in today's world - culture within the so-called post-turn anthropology, transnational cultural identities and migration, faith and religions, commodification of culture in cultural tourism, migration and home, collaborative and multi-sited ethnography. The book points out some of the current approaches, trends and challenges without giving up the need to incorporate them in the rich intellectual leaven of contemporary social sciences, especially socio-cultural anthropology which is perceived as an open, interdisciplinary, comparative and truly global science. The book consists of six chapters dealing with diverse topics, from reflexivity and polovocality, through the anthropology of home and the anthropology or religion, to the anthropology of tourism. It points to considerable challenges facing contemporary anthropologists. However, it argues that the theoretical-methodological tools which anthropologists have at their disposal thanks to more than a century of development of the discipline - long-term fieldwork, historical depth and extensive analysis of the studied phenomena, emic and etic perspectives, cultural relativism, epistemological reflexivity and the necessary knowledge of the wider context - are the promise of a successful continuation of this discipline in the 21st century.

Dějiny v troskách

Author(s): Lenka Hrabalová / Language(s): Czech

This publication deals with various factors which influence destructions and reconstructions of cultural heritage in the Middle East and North Africa. The destruction of cultural property in the Middle East and North Africa cannot be characterized as purely religious but must be seen in the context of a number of reasons, which may be related to propaganda, strategic and military reasons, or political and ethnic issues. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that jihadist groups are not the only ones that kill cultural and historical objects worth. Book is divided into three main parts. The first is a general introduction to the relevant legislation and its implementation. The second part examines the reasons for destruction and main ideas in reconstructions. It presents two types of destructions present in the region: those motivated by the religion and secular ones, explaining its existence in the Muslim society from historical, sociological, and religious perspectives. The third part is the central part of the dissertation. It consists of five case studies of five countries of the Muslim World: Syria, Iraq, Mali, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. These studies are based on previous findings and aim to present a foundation for further comparison in the conclusion of the publication.

Factors Associated with Alcohol Use in University Students

Author(s): René Šebeňa / Language(s): English

Research into alcohol use by young people is mostly focused on adolescents, secondary or further education students rather than university students. However, alcohol drinking among university students is a widely recognized problem and represents a serious health and cultural problem, with many negative individual, interpersonal and cultural consequences. Binge drinking, an increasingly common pattern of excessive alcohol use with serious negative consequences for individual drinkers, those around them, and the university environment, is a major problem on university campuses. Alcohol consumption among youths is affected by a complex of risk and protective factors, investigation of which is essential for a better understanding and focusing of the intervention procedures. The complex linkages of risk and protective factors and problem behaviours change over time and within different cultures and countries. The importance of this kind of research for the field of prevention is obvious: If we can determine the personal and interpersonal protective and risk factors affecting alcohol-use behaviour, we can better plan preventive interventions focused on creating and enhancing the personal protective attributes. To design and develop appropriate interventions, to improve behavioural outcomes for adolescents, a better understanding of these complexities and relations is required.
