The paper proposal we submitted to EASA conference in Belfast this year:

Cardboard states of failed political transformation? Mistrust towards state institutions in post-socialist Czech and Poland

Short abstract: Providing a rare comparative angle from Czech and Poland, this paper offers an insight into the changing perception of political culture and institutional trust in the context of present and past crises.

Long abstract: This paper presents a preliminary findings of an ethnographic research project that inquires into the phenomenon of populist politics in Central and Eastern Europe in a comparative way. Based on conversations with research participants sharing their political views and concerns within the Czech and Polish networked publics, the study explores a relationship between current political choices and perception of the transition from a communist to neoliberal free market economy. Simultaneously, the authors wish to reflect upon and problematise the notion of the commons, as perceived by the interviewees with regards to their historical experiences of ‘actually existing socialism’.

In what way various forms of state-driven violence and oppression - in the past and in the present - have influenced popular perception of and trust towards public institutions? What are perceived reasons for the state malfunctions, among Czech and Polish research participants? In what ways has the coronavirus pandemic further deepened the fears over the interviewees’ already precarious living conditions and how has that affected their political participation and levels of institutional trust? Those and other questions will be addressed by paper’s authors.

The panel we submitted it to: Programme - EASA2022

Magda, do you mind if I move this post out of here into its own thread? It is not about the coding…

@Nica that went well! Pinging you from here, because this is the Code review thread serving these Friday meetings. Let me know if and when you want a debriefing from me, so I can provide some context.

Yes, it was great to meet everyone, and this was valuable in terms of getting up to speed. I would love a debriefing – would it be best to talk to you and @Jan separately or together? And would it make more sense to do so before or after I meet with Amelia next week?

I vote for separately.

Sounds good – Alberto, let’s find a time in the next few days? And I will email @Jan too. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you!

@Wojt, @Maniamana, @jitka.kralova, @Jirka_Kocian: I have a small favor to ask. next Monday I am giving @Nica a walkthrough Open Ethnographer and Graphryder. Would one (or more, or all!) of you participate? At this point, you are the real power users.

Same think I would ask of @hugi for Graphryder.

It depends on the time, I’m available after 13:00 on Monday.

You are right, sorry, I should have specified. It’s at 14.00, but we’ll start with OpenEthno, so for you more 15.00 CET. Also ping @Wojt @Maniamana @jitka.kralova @Jirka_Kocian .

Oh, and hi @Nica - are you new on the team? Will you be working on Poprebel, or also on other projects?

Hi, guys. Sorry, after all I couldn’t and didn’t make it. Apologies for not letting you know earlier, just had a rather challenging day today, got snowed under with stuff and, however plain it sounds, I simply forgot to tell you I wouldn’t be there. I really really regret that and hope I will be able to make up for it somehow. Do you have any minutes from the meeting or sth?
sorry-meme

Hey, @rebelethno , I’m writing partly on behalf of Jan.
Shall we meet this Friday after all? He’ll be able to make it.
What do you say? Who’s up for it?
