Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the re-formation of the civic sphere and civil society in the post-communist environment. Focusing on the widespread tendency to equate civil society with the organized public involvement through non-profit and non-governmental organizations, it points to tensions and conflicts that such equation brings about. It is inspired by an extensive research project, yet it also all draws on two distinct theoretical perspectives in particular. Luhmann s and Alexander s conceptual schemes serve here to account for the relations between various components of the formation of civic identities after 1989: the specific historical situation and the modern concept of responsible citizenship, the organizational form of civic associations and symbolic representation of civil society, concrete relationships or organizational practices and the identity of the civic sector.

Abstract (in Czech)

Stať popisuje proces formování občanských identit v kontextu rozvoje občanského sektoru v ČR po roce 1989. Ukazuje, proč a v jakém smylu jsou nuance občanské identity vázány na organizační formy občanského sdružování. Sleduje institucionální proměnu sektoru po roce 1989 a zdůrazňuje implicitní generační aspekt této proměny. Využívá zejména teoretických konceptů Niklase Luhmanna a Jeffreyho Alexandera.
