“…). Moreover, studies of counterurbanisation in post‐socialist countries are often inaccessible to a wider international audience, due to the linguistic diversity of the region (see Timár and Fekete for further discussion of ‘information impermeability’ in the case of feminist geographies in Central and Eastern Europe). The unique opportunity to test the validity of western counterurbanisation concepts in the unique transitional framework of post‐socialist countries, remains open (Brown and Schafft ; Musil ; Jauhiainen ).…”

Urban-rural research in post-socialist countries has focused on urban transformation, the impact of international migration and the spread of suburbanisation; little attention has been paid to counterurban migration. The aim of this article is to propose a typology of counterurban migration strategies based on quantitative research in rural areas in the Czech Republic. Firstly, the article discusses the differences and similarities of counterurbanisation in western and post-socialist countries by bringing together counterurbanisation and post-socialist research literature. Secondly, detailed information about the counterurbanisation migration stream is provided on the basis of extensive field research. Thirdly, the article presents four basic types of counterurbanisation migration strategies, two lifestyle-oriented types and two economic-oriented types, based on household motivation, preferences and household employment location. The research demonstrates both general and specific features of counterurbanisation stream in the Czech Republic.

“…This is not to disregard works published by geographers in (not just from) Eastern and Central European countries (and see Timár 2004). However, even review papers produced by geographers from ECE suggest that the 'mainstream geography' (Timár and Fekete 2010) as an academic discipline in ECE is in the first place preoccupied with macro-regional structures, and while geographers' interest in the everydayness is arguably on the increase, children are largely excluded from geographical discourses in these regions (see also Timár 2003aTimár , 2003b). 2.…”

Place, children's friendships, and the formation of gender identities in a Slovak urban neighbourhood

Children's Geographies

The paper explores how children form their peer relationships in a small urban neighbourhood in Bratislava, and how their gender identities are affected by practices of friendship. Drawing on Hörschelmann and Stenning's (2008, Progress in Human Geography, 32, 339) idea of the 'ethnographic attitude' to researching 'post-socialist' change, the paper identifies links between children's everyday performances and broader structures in which these are embedded. Special attention is given to the spatial ranges of children's practices, developing an argument about the significance of children's neighbourhood as a pivotal spatial domain for the constitution of children's friendships.

“…These are only a few of many questions which we may employ to understand the influences and potentials of knowledge productions of various scholars in various localities. While some authors have recognized existing hegemonies in terms of the Anglo-American 1 dominance in knowledge production (Blažek and Rochovská, 2006;Brown and Browne, 2016) or the Eurocentrism of contemporary social sciences (Kulpa and Silva, 2016), they have been less tangible in naming the concrete barriers and even less often offered tools or courageous visions by which it would be possible to overcome and/or deconstruct them (Kitchin, 2003(Kitchin, , 2005Kulpa and Silva, 2016;Timár, 2007;Timár and Fekete, 2010;Tlostanova, 2014). Despite these repeated calls, the hegemony of this knowledge production has had and continues to have a substantial impact on the shape of (not-only) European discourses in gender/feminist, 2 sexuality and queer studies.…”

This article has three aims. First, I discuss the existing inequalities within the systems of knowledge production dominated by "Anglo-American" academia and critically examine the "East-West" binary to show that sexuality and gender/feminist scholars in geography should learn from their deconstructive skills to overcome hegemonies erected by these binaries both in academia and the related geopolitical landscapes. Second, I critically discuss the concept of "Central and Eastern Europe" (CEE) which I do not intend to stabilize, and hold up a mirror to the various hegemonic misunderstandings that take the form of "homogenization", "dehistoricization", "isolation" or by ascribing "backwardness", by which they effectively erase or overlook knowledges and contributions of "non-Anglo-American" scholars often left "beyond translation." Last, I concentrate on the discussion of the development of geographies of sexualities and gender/feminist thought in CEE geography and illustrate the challenges that scholars from different institutional and national contexts must still face. By this article, I attempt to stand for our/their recognition.
