Authors:Petr Jiskra Abstract: The study focuses on the purification of public space as an accompanying phenomenon of its revitalization. As a result of purification, it is argued, public space is sterilized and its quality and heterogeneity are reduced. The aim of this paper is to uncover the causes, consequences, practices and mechanisms related to the processes involved in the transformation of public space. It is based on the qualitative fieldwork in the public park Tyršovy sady, Pardubice, and consists of participant observation, taking photographs, semistructured interviews as well as secondary sources. The research shows that as a result of revitalization, the park has lost its original character and – due to its specific architectural modification, partial vegetation removal and increasing formal and informal social control – the space has been purified and the phenomena considered undesirable by the majority of society have been eliminated.

Authors:Patrik Klicman Abstract: The study deals with the coaching methods of Anatoly Tarasov and Vladimir Kostka. Both of them helped their countries to build world-class hockey teams by a personal approach, which dominated world hockey for more than two decades. This paper focuses on the relationship between game and sport and on the question of the boundary between the amateur and the professional. It offers a comparative analysis of the coaching approaches to ice hockey presented by Tarasov and Kostka, who, despite many differences, remained similar in some respects. Issue No:Vol. 0
Authors:Jakub Paleček Abstract: The text deals with the ideological world of Catholicism. A review of the current state of research has shown that we lack an adequate understanding of the phenomenon in which a particular parish priest occupies two mutually contradictory noetic positions simultaneously. The paper examines this phenomenon in two areas: in the interpretation of certain Biblical passages and in the role of women in the Church and society. The method used, in addition to participant observation, involves narrative interviews with 22 respondents from among Catholic priests in a Czech diocese and their subsequent analysis. The results of the research show that one priest can hold two noetic approaches simultaneously, taking an interpretive approach to certain Biblical passages and a literal reading of the Bible on the issue of women’s emancipation. These two arbitrarily chosen approaches, which are further socially reproduced and can be manipulated, speak to the existing noetic tension in Catholicism as a kind of cultural mechanism.
