Kód oboru RIV: AO - Sociologie, demografie

The author traces the development of two issues defined as revealing for the research of the bodily citizenship of women – abortion and prostitution. The focus is on the “critical junctures” – the turning points when the institutions changed and development took different path; as well as on the path-dependency of the two issues. The author shows how the debates over these two issues were framed in the post-war history of the Czech Republic, what the outcomes of these debates were and how this development influenced the thinking and public understanding of women’s rights in this area. Then, she compares the two issues and explores their implications for the theoretical concept of bodily citizenship.
