Abstract
Existing studies explain au pair-ing as an economic strategy used by East-European women to cope with post-socialist transformation. The aim of this paper is to broaden this interpretation arguing that when becoming au pairs, young Slovaks engage with postsocialist transformation more complexly, not only on economical level. In particular the confrontation with postsocialism and importance of experiences and skills ascribed to the West challenge traditional creation of life projects in the area.
Abstract (in Czech)
Existujúce štúdie opisujú au pair migráciu ako ekonomickú stratégiu, ktorú používajú východoeurópske ženy na to, aby sa vyrovnali s postsocialistickou transformáciou. Cieľom tejto štúdie je rozšíriť tieto interpretácie - mladé Slovenky a Slováci, ktorí sa stávajú au pair, sa s postsocialistickou transformáciou vyrovnávajú oveľa komplexnejšie, než len na ekonomickej rovine. Konfrontácia s postsocializmom a dôležitosť skúeností a zručností pripisovaných Západu mení tradičné vnímanie a tvorbu životných projektov.
