Kinnane, Joanne H. "Everyday encounters of everyday midwives : tribulation and triumph for ethical practitioners". Queensland University of Technology, 2008. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16700/.
Abstract (sommario):
Midwifery is a dynamic, ever changing, specialised field of nursing involving the care of women and childbearing families. Clients are central to the practice of midwifery and thus their well-being is the main focus of midwives. So, it is not surprising that much of the relatively small body of midwifery research is client focused. As a result, client perspectives have been studied in a number of ways, regarding several aspects of midwifery care. This research, however, aimed to consider midwifery from the midwives' perspective by exploring the everyday encounters of everyday midwives who are working in institutional settings, and identifying the ethical aspects of those encounters. From the researcher's standpoint, it is clear that midwives' everyday encounters are ethical encounters and have potential to be either beneficent or harmful. There was, however, uncertainty that midwives recognized this "everydayness" of ethics. This research sought to clarify the place of ethics within midwives' everyday activities. A further purpose was to ascertain how the ethics that entered into the encounters and activities midwives participated in on a daily basis had affected their practise, their profession and/ or themselves. In doing this, the intent was to broaden the understandings of the ethical dimension of the practice. A particular ethical approach was adopted for this project. It is a view of ethics where persons have regard for, and responsibility toward, each other (Isaacs, 1998). The fact that midwifery is a social practice was expected to be significant in both the everyday encounters that midwives experienced and the ethical responses to those encounters. Members of social practices share an overall purpose and have a moral obligation or desire to practise ethically. As they share a culture and a covenantal commitment to care for those the profession seeks to serve - in a context of gift, fidelity and trust (Isaacs, 1993; Langford, 1978), it was anticipated that midwives would, generally, work in an ethically laden "world". Narrative research offered an appropriate framework for investigating these dimensions of midwifery practice. Many authors have noted the value of story-telling for making sense, and illuminating the ethical features, of our lives. It is, Kearney says, "an open-ended invitation to ethical ... responsiveness" (2000, p. 156). By enabling the participants to tell their stories, rich, contextual narrative material was obtained. The researcher was able to engage with both the participants and the stories as audience. An introduction to the study is provided in Chapter One, while Chapter Two explains both why narrative inquiry was chosen for this research project and the framework that was utilised. The insights from the study are presented in Chapters Three through Six. Each chapter considers the issues and concepts arising from stories that involve midwives' relationships and interactions with a different group of people: midwives, institutions and administration ("them"), doctors and families. In Chapter Three different types of interactions between midwives and their colleagues are explored. Some of the issues that arise are the importance of understanding one's own values and the place of ethics in practice, as well as the need to "do ethics-on-the-run". Many ethical concepts are evident including autonomy, integrity and professional identity. Participants had many negative experiences, and some conveyed feeling a lack of support, threatened or overwhelmed. Conversely, some stories share very positive images of mutual understanding where midwives worked together empathetically. Chapter Four looks at how managers' interactions with midwives impacted upon them and their practice. Unfortunately, this seems to be mostly negative. The midwives convey a sense of feeling undervalued both professionally and personally. Doctors have their turn to interact with the midwives in Chapter Five. In this chapter it becomes evident that doctors and midwives view birth from different perspectives. The participants' stories tell of challenging situations that alert us to the fact that normal, in the context of birth, is not as simple and common place as one might think when doctors and midwives have to work together. Wonderful, positive stories of midwives and doctors working together told of the symbiotic relationship that these two groups of professionals can have when the client is the focus. The last of the insights chapters, Chapter Six, focuses on the relationships midwives have with families. Interestingly, these are the people they spoke of least, even though they are the people for whom the profession exists. Here the concept of midwife as friend is discussed. Then, through their stories some of the participants help us to learn how midwives work together with their clients, care about them, not just for them, and how their past experience has had a lasting impact on their practice. Professionalism (or a lack of it) was implicated as a possible cause of some of the participants' concerns, as was the improper use of power. Both of these concepts arose many times throughout the project. Chapter 7 discusses these issues in some depth. The final chapter provides an overview of midwives situated within their practice. An account is offered of how the participants see the future of their practice and it is questioned if midwifery is, in fact, a social practice with common goals. The thesis draws attention to the embeddedness of ethics in the everyday practice of midwives, and to the vital role that relationships play in midwifery practice. This suggests the need for a relational, contextual ethics approach if the practice is to flourish.

Ionascu, Adriana. "Poetic design : a theory of everyday practice". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2010. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/6965.
Abstract (sommario):
This study aims to define design poetics as a category of design practice set apart from commercial, industrial or market-led design that generates a collection of experimental artefacts which investigate the everyday life of contemporary culture. It is argued that in creating an active interplay between users (human agents) and objects, poetic design involves a different kind of production (which is not about improving the functionality of a product) and alternative forms of "consumption" (which is not about a 'using up' of objects), by developing new practices of living with things. As such it is suggested that design poetics depends on the production developed by consumers as a creative users (postproducers), within unconventional experiential and social scenarios of living. In changing the bilateral relationship object-user poetic design develops objects from the point of view of the user - its activities and models of operation - and this aspect is related to an emotional and experiential evaluation. Thus the study proposes a re-evaluation of objects and users through experiential, narrative and performative criteria in order to understand their various roles and functions. In proposing these particular points of evaluation, poetic objects are distinguished as a particular category of objects together with the practices they engender or support; and within a network of relationships and contexts, as specific sites of interaction.1 In this light, it is shown that poetic design proposes a class of objects that respond to needs beyond the objects' instrumental (functional, practical) power; but to their contribution to life experience, embodying a variety of processes and manifestations. They translate immaterial interactions and make these interrelations visible.

Klevan, Andrew. "Disclosure of the everyday : the undramatic achievements in narrative film". Thesis, University of Warwick, 1996. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4099/.
Abstract (sommario):
The claim providing the starting point for this thesis is that most narrative films are in an overtly dramatic, melodramatic or comic idiom. These modes seem most adept at tapping the visually expressive potentialities of the art and satisfying the needs of the audience: the narratives of most films are structured around either confrontation, or colourful events, or crisis, or periods of significant change, and they are expressed in a demonstrative visual style. This thesis is interested in the way a few films uncover profundity by structuring narrative around a range of life experiences unavailable to the melodramatic mode as it has developed in world cinema; life experiences based in the everyday, that is in the routine or repetitive, in the apparently banal or mundane, the uneventful. The first part of the thesis discusses the nature of the achievement of these undramatic films which address the everyday: how they help us to understand the medium of film, its possibilities, and how they enhance our ways of viewing and appreciating narratives. This section also focuses on the work of Stanley Cavell, exploring the links between the everyday, film melodrama, and scepticism. The second half of the thesis looks at the specific achievements of four films. Here, the thesis continues the expressive tradition of film scholarship which analyses the communication of meaning through the construction of mise-en-scene, exploring how the themes, ideas, and happenings of a film are served by their stylistic strategies, while further highlighting how such strategies may reveal significant possibilities of the medium. In doing so it follows the approach of writers such as Stanley Cavell, V. F. Perkins and George M. Wilson whilst redirecting this tradition by applying it to less obviously expressive films.

Barrie, Karen Anne. "Testing times : exploring everyday life with dementia through narrative-in-action". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25815.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the ongoing accomplishment of ordinary life with dementia and asks how older people variously negotiate and make sense of the obstacles, dilemmas and opportunities of everyday life as lived. The thesis responds to persistent calls to recognise the heterogeneity of people living with dementia and to challenge predominantly negative cultural stereotypes. It draws together parallel developments in contemporary dementia studies, namely the extension of social citizenship into the realm of the ordinary and fresh critiques of the biomedicalisation of ageing, particularly the rapid expansion of its technologies into the domain of cognitive impairment. In different ways, these developments bring a more overtly political impetus to the research agenda. The research study takes the form of ‘narrative-in-action’ (Alsaker et al, 2009), a mode of Narrative Inquiry that combines Paul Ricoeur’s (1984) early narrative theorising with ethnographic methods. The study expands the theoretical underpinnings of this methodology by engaging more deeply with Ricoeur’s (1992) elaboration of the dynamic relationships between narrative and life, narrative and temporality, and incorporating critical insights from narrative gerontology. The resultant methodology facilitates an understanding of experiences as expressed in practice and through time by embodied, emotional, relational persons. The study explores the everyday life of three couples, one man and one woman (aged 78-85 years) residing at home in a small Scottish town. This entailed meeting regularly with each person or couple over a period of six or seven months and participating in their choice of everyday activities. The length and intensity of involvement required careful deliberation about the creation and ongoing negotiation of uniquely constructed relationships that altered and deepened as the study progressed. Narrative analysis engaged with events, happenings and the various shifting and patterned meanings made within the flow of actions in different settings and over time, and was informed by Ricoeur’s (1984, 1992) notions of mimesis, emplotment and narrative identity. The resultant narratives offer a nuanced understanding of different ways of living with dementia in later life. They illustrate how meanings were made in different situations and over time, depicting diverse implicit or purposeful ways of resisting the dominant cultural narrative of loss and contributing to ordinary social life. These distinctions were manifest in the dynamic, dialogic configuration of identities. Despite these differences, the spectre of testing coloured each narrative, extending its reach into recollections of the past and also influencing the ways in which future possibilities were embraced, discounted or denied. This spectre also impacted upon the larger task of trying to make meaning of life as a whole in the face of ageing and memory loss. The thesis augments current conceptualisations of citizenship-as-practice in dementia studies through the construct of recognition. It also highlights the potential of the narrative-in-action methodology to enrich the notion and study of ‘narrative citizenship’ (Baldwin, 2008); in this study, it facilitates an understanding of later life with dementia that is optimistic but not naïve. Taken together the narratives illuminate the risks of prescribing how people should respond to a diagnosis based on observations of how some individuals adapt successfully. Finally, the thesis concludes that unless we attend to productive as well as repressive forms of power, there may be increasingly testing times ahead for us all.

Gordon, Margaret Jean. "Everyday social work practice : listening to the voices of practitioners". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/31463.
Abstract (sommario):
Despite an extensive literature, there is surprisingly little research about what social workers do in their day to day practice. This body of published work, supported by critical review, argues that we need to hear, and learn from, practitioner voices if we are to comprehend the breadth, challenges and potential of social work practice. It contributes to a steadily expanding field of research that is exploring the hidden, frequently misunderstood, and often negatively perceived, world of everyday practice. By making social work more visible, we open up opportunities for students, social workers, other professionals and the public to learn about the profession's work by engaging with the live challenges and dilemmas encountered by practitioners. My research examines the actual work of social work by analysing practitioner narratives to reveal the ways in which social workers recount, reflect on and learn from direct work with service users and their families. Most of the research is informed by a strengths-based, narrative perspective, the critical best practice approach. It draws on qualitative methods, consistent with a social constructionist stance that recognises the contingency of practice with its multiple subjectivities, uncertainties, contested viewpoints and constant flux. Three main themes are explored: social workers' use of knowledge, their decision-making and judgement when services users are at risk of harm, or pose a risk to others, and the integration of practice and theory in a student practice placement. I also report on two related inquiries, one focusing on the experience of co-publication with practitioners, and the other on social workers' use of self in practice. The notion of 'best' practice is found, inevitably, to be fraught with ambiguity, raising important questions about the criteria on which judgements about 'good' practice can be made, and who is entitled to make them. My review tackles these and other theoretical, methodological and ethical issues that I encountered during the research. An essential thread that runs through all the research findings is the need for a critical, reflexive approach to everyday practice that recognises the situated, and often contradictory, nature of voice and of the practices described. Taken together, the research findings stress the centrality of practitioner capabilities such as relationship building, critical reflection, skilful use of self, respectful authority, curiosity, creativity and the ability to combine a range of different forms of knowledge in imaginative and flexible ways. They collectively make a strong case for valuing and learning from direct access to practitioners' experiences of practice. The research, conducted in a range of UK contexts, identifies how and why social workers' voices continue to fail to be heard, and suggests a number of ways of tackling gaps in our understanding. From a personal point of view, the research is also my own story of learning about doing research into my profession over the last ten years, and of seeking to share and use the findings to improve social work practice and make a difference to people who use social work services, their friends, families and communities.

Abstract (sommario):
Magister Artium - MAThis study aims to add to the rich body of work which explores our understanding of identity performances in narratives. It explores how a close knit group of five female friends use narrative structure and strategies to fashion alternative gender identities for themselves as black women who are agentive, and who actively push back against the stereotypes used to judge and evaluate their behavior. Using an interactional approach to narrative and identity (De Fina, 2003; De Fina and Georgakopoulou, 2008, 2012), this study explores how participants, in their everyday conversations, exploit story form and narrative strategies to orient to, constitute, legitimize or resist gender ideologies. Drawing on data which consist of twenty-one hours of naturally occurring casual conversation between the five friends, I identify and group the stories in their conversations, and propose generic structures to describe them: reports, hypothetical stories and projections. With a flexible approach to structure, I show how these stories create a space for the negotiation of difference or for constructing presentations of ‘self’ versus ‘the other’. I argue that through structure and other evaluative devices, praise and blame are ascribed within stories, allowing participants to take certain positions in relation to the themes explored and relevant identity options. I also show the ways in which stories enable the participants to quite literally imagine possibilities for self and others within circumstances that have not and and may never happen. This creates a space for the affirmation of dreams and ambitions, and an exploration of the type of women they see themselves becoming: successful, rich, famous, strong, and admired African women.

Abstract (sommario):
This article is a case study of the People’s Archive of Rural India, a multimedia digital archive founded by journalist P. Sainath, which debuted online in December 2014. PARI features photographs, videos, interviews, audio files and articles that seek to illuminate the lives of the over 833 million people who live in rural India. Focusing on the narrative form of the ‘story’ and the universalizing temporality of the ‘everyday’, the article asks, ‘What is the relationship between PARI’s rural India and the “New” India to which it ostensibly belongs? How do PARI’s textual and visual mediations work together to produce the rural as a region?’. The article explores the relevance of postcolonial theory for the study of cultural production in the time of ‘New’ India, while arguing that PARI offers a Janus-faced depiction of the rural as urban India’s historically entrenched Other, on the one hand, and as a critical outside to the neo-liberal imagination, on the other.

Abstract (sommario):
"Las practicas cotidianas castellanas: hacia el imaginario cartografico de Miguel Delibes" offers a reevaluation of the image of Castilla that informs much of Miguel Delibes's novelistic work. Numerous scholars have examined the fundamental role the author's native region has in developing the thematics of his extensive narrative corpus. What has been missing in these studies is a broadly interdisciplinary optic through which to study the formation and evolution of Delibes's cartographic imaginary--to borrow a term from David Harvey. Applying the ground-breaking work of critical geographers including Harvey, Henry Lefevbre, Michel de Certeau and Sallie Marston to an analysis of the Spanish novelist's production allows for a calibration of his novelistic evolution against the mediating factors of the extensive and fundamental real spatial transformations that Castilla undergoes from the time Delibes started to write in the 1940s to the present. The key element in making this connection is a study of how the practices of everyday life take form in his imaginary. Employing de Certeau's explanation of the ways in which these practices coalesce into tactics and strategies is especially useful in charting the evolution of the author's cartographic imaginary and how it documents, confronts and resists fundamental alterations in the nature of Castillian spaces, both rural and urban.Chapter one of my study lays out the methodology for defining the cartographic imaginary, especially its portrayal of the practices of everyday life, and considers how to connect the study of real spaces and their conceptual articulation by cultural creators. Chapters two and three discuss, in turn, the portrayal of urban and rural spaces in Delibes's fiction, most importantly in Mi idolatrado hijo Sisi, Cinco horas con Mario, Diario de un jubilado, El camino, Las ratas, and Viejas historias de Castilla la Vieja. My final chapter (four) examines those texts in which Delibes plays rural against urban space--Diario de un cazador, El disputado voto del senor Cayo and Los santos inocentes. My investigation leads me to conclude that while deeply rooted in his own region of Spain, Delibes's work transcends local concerns.

Previous issue date: 2015-05-04This research is part of the discussion about midiatic communication in social interactions. Has as a theme, the cartoon as a midiatic narrative of the everyday. From a literature analysis and the an practical exercise, in which we studied the collection O lixo da história, published by Companhia das Letras. Among the authors and theories used, we highlight: the narrative concept, of Luiz Gonzaga Motta; the midiatization idea from José Luiz Braga studies; the cultural mediation theory from Jesús Martin-Barbero; the everyday studies of Michel de Certeau; and the understanding of culture, based upon Cultural Studies. The readings and analysis showed us the perspectives that the cartoon is an absurd narrative and a narrative of the absurd of a historic moment, in a way that it becomes a historiographic monument of the everyday. Like its done with tha journalistic narrative, the cartoon demands a critic vision, looking for more than its shape, but all the surroundings.
Esta pesquisa se insere nas discussões sobre comunicação midiática nas interações sociais. Traz como tema a charge enquanto narrativa midiatizada do cotidiano, a partir de um estudo de natureza bibliográfica e de um exercício de aplicação no qual foram estudadas as charges de Angeli reunidas na coletânea O lixo da história, publicada pela editora Companhia das Letras. Dentre os autores e teorias trabalhadas destacam-se: a conceituação de narrativa, proposta por Luiz Gonzaga Motta; a ideia da midiatização da sociedade, a partir da discussão de José Luiz Braga; a teoria de mediações culturais de Jesús Martin-Barbero; os estudos de cotidiano de Michel de Certeau; e o entendimento de cultura, fundamentado nos Estudos Culturais. A partir das leituras e análise realizadas, a pesquisa trouxe a tona as percepções de que a charge é uma narrativa do absurdo e narrativa absurda de um momento histórico, de maneira a inseri-la enquanto monumento historiográfico do cotidiano. Assim como é feito com as narrativas jornalísticas, a charge demanda uma visão crítica, observando não apenas a sua forma, mas sim o seu contexto.

Doctoral thesis, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, Institutt for sosialt arbeid og helsevitenskap, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-5941.
Abstract (sommario):
The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to an understanding of the everyday life of women with chronic rheumatic conditions with an emphasis on how they relate to narrative meaning in their everyday activities. The design conveys an ethnographic approach, including a thorough consideration of conceptual and empirical resources. Narrative traditions were explored as well as existing knowledge of everyday activities. Following on from this exploration, an epistemology and methodology was traced to study ‘meaning in action’ for women living with chronic rheumatic conditions in their local cultures. The findings further show how meaning in action happens in the everyday activities of the participating women. By engaging in their local cultures the women enabled themselves to communicate significant issues of meaning through everyday activities. This thesis contributes to the existing knowledge of everyday living with chronic rheumatic conditions by that it has established a conceptual framework of ‘narrative in action’ and subsequent methodology to study the phenomenon. Further it has shown how everyday action provides interpretative possibilities that enable the women to manage, adjust and negotiate their meanings. The concept of ‘enacted ordinariness’ is established and it is shown how questions of moral worth is embedded in everyday action and how society’s labelling tradition impacts the women’s everyday living. Participation in everyday activities in local cultures is found to be of great value for the women but several contradictions are embedded. Processes of meaning are managed in their everyday action, and they do not set their condition apart from themselves and their way of living. Suggesting that activities produce interaction and communication between individual practices and cultural practices, this thesis also contributes to the ongoing exploration of the concept of occupation/activity. For occupational therapy and occupational science this thesis adds to existing basic knowledge of the temporal quality of activities and their relatedness to narrative and meaning.

Abstract (sommario):
This research evaluates whether nurses working in general hospital settings utilise the counselling skills they are taught during their initial nurse training when they practice as qualified nurses. A narrative enquiry methodology was used to gather stories about everyday nurse patient interactions from eight nurses working in a variety of general hospital settings. The stories were tape recorded and transcribed before being subjected to qualitative descriptive analysis, a variant of content analysis, which yielded a number of themes. The analytical process incorporated the use of a hermeneutic circle to reinforce the reliability of the analysis and three types of skill were identified within the narratives. The narratives suggest that nurses do use counselling skills regularly when interacting with patients and carers, in particular the skills of information giving and empathy. These skills are inter-related in nursing practice and their usage stems from the personal experiences of the nurses involved rather than any training received prior to their qualifying as registered practitioners. While the sample size is relatively small the findings might suggest there could be some worth in further research to determine the relational skills possessed by those wishing to enter nurse training. This type of investigation has a resonance with current calls for reform of nurse education and might allow for training in the area of interpersonal skills to become more personalised. Ethical permissions were obtained from NRES, the Ethics committee of the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust and the University of Manchester.

Abstract (sommario):
Domestic space and place, as well as how we conceptualise the home, are shifting in response to changes in digital and SNS technologies, and our relationships with such technologies. The home is not only the building in which we live, but a networked assemblage of material and digitally mediated space and place. This study examines predominantly white middle class arrangements of domestic space and place in South Africa, which provides insight into a relatively unexplored aspect of digital culture: the performance of domesticity via SNS, particularly Facebook. Furthermore gendered and racialised power dynamics and privilege in everyday life were investigated through a digital ethnography and critical discourse analysis of posts by 50 Facebook users. This data was supplemented by interviews and in-situ observations of five couples drawn from the broader sample. In combination, these methods revealed how space, place, and domestic responsibilities are secured through narrative practice. Through this study I show how Facebook has emerged as a collaborative platform where storytelling practices are influenced by the site architecture and algorithm. Facebook has opened up the private space of the home allowing domestic space, place, and practice to steadily gain visibility. This visibility, analysed in conjunction with Actor-Network Theory, revealed that homes, and narratives about the homes, are networked and dependent on relationships between actants. The home, and the relationships that stabilise it, are also reflective of discourses and power relations. Human actors negotiated territory and network roles, and these negotiations reveal power and hierarchy. Women remain more tightly bound to the home because of cultural and historical gendered discourses, and as a result the white women participants in this study continue to create place and ascribe space in digitally mediated and material versions of their homes. Furthermore, the resurgence of middle class postfeminist accounts of domesticity have promoted domestic idealism and many women have migrated back to the home spurred on by popular media, and economic privilege that has allowed them to forego paid employment. This study also shows that white, middle class women participants were offered choices to construct their own postfeminist narratives of domesticity. On the other hand, the black women employed as domestic workers by these middle class couples, were largely absent from such narratives and conversations. Findings further suggest that domestic space and place remained the domain of white women participants, and that white men were able to renegotiate their domestic responsibilities because they remained distant from domestic narratives and conversations, where they were largely associated with domestic inadequacy.

Boone, Johanna. "What Matters Most? The Everyday Priorities of Teachers of English Language Learners". BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4214.
Abstract (sommario):
Teachers work within a context of competing stories, including pressures regarding English language learners (ELLs), a deficit view of teachers, and high-stakes testing and accountability, all of which impact teachers' emotions. Within this context, teachers prioritize what is most important to them. This self-study using narrative inquiry methods lays the author's stories of teaching alongside those of two other teachers of ELLs. The author conducted a series of interviews with the participants, analyzed the interviews for themes and tensions, negotiated meaning with participants, and created interim texts to represent the participants' priorities in teaching ELLs. Three teachers' priorities, as indicated by their stories of teaching, are relationships with students, and helping students continue to progress. Implications include the importance of teachers' understanding of their own priorities, which helps alleviate some of the pressure that teachers are under, positively impacting students as well. Recommended research includes future research on teachers' priorities regarding their ELL students, and further self-studies with narrative inquiry methods.

Abstract (sommario):
Body Dysmorphic Disorder, BDD, is a psychiatric diagnosis that is characterized by self- perceived ugliness. The knowledge about BDD is low and people experience that they have the diagnosis, but haven’t been diagnosed with BDD due to the lack of knowledge among professionals. Previous research has mostly consisted of quantitative studies regarding the prevalence of BDD. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how people, who feel that they have BDD, describe living with it in their everyday life. The study is based on four narrative interviews, and the analysis of the results is based on a narrative approach. The results show that many areas in life are negatively affected by BDD, such as, school or work, relationship with others and quality of life. There is also a lack of knowledge regarding BDD among professionals which affects the treatment of people with BDD. In conclusion, BDD is a complex diagnosis to live with and many aspects in life are limited because of the diagnosis. Therefor the knowledge of BDD must increase in order for people to be able to get the right treatment.

Abstract (sommario):
The overarching aim of this thesis was to describe how family members experienced everyday life with life-threatening illness close to death, with focus on self-image and identity. The thesis comprises four papers, each with a specific aim to illuminate various aspects of the phenomenon under study. The study population consisted of 29 participants; ten family caregivers and five families, including five patients with life threatening illness and their family members. Data were based on retrospective single interviews (paper I), prospective individual, couple and group interviews with the families over six to eighteen month (papers II-III). Interpretive description approach (papers I, II, IV), narrative method (paper III) and secondary analysis (paper IV) were used to analyze data. The findings show how living close to death influences everyday life at home, at several levels (papers I-IV). From the perspective of the dying person, narrations of daily situations was described by four themes related to identity and everyday life; inside and outside of me, searching for togetherness, my place in space and my death and my time. The changing body, pain, fatigue, decreased physical capacity and changed appearance, appeared to influence the dying person’s need for altered knowledge and community, and as a result the patterns of interaction within the families changed. The strive for knowledge and community took place at home, an arena for identity work and the conscious search for meaning, knowledge and community; it was limited by time and inevitable death (paper III). For the family member, life close to death can mean sharing life with a changing person in a changing relationship (paper II). It may mean that everyday life needs to be modified in order for it to work (papers I-IV). New patterns of dependence and an asymmetrical relationship affect all involved (papers III-IV). Daily life close to death is about finding the space to promote the individual self-image, me-ness, at the same time as finding new ways of being a family; we-ness (paper II). Regardless of being the ill person or not, the family members we interviewed had to face impending death, which challenged earlier ways of living together (papers I-IV). From the perspective of the relatives, the everyday life of caring for the dying family member was characterized by challenged ideals, stretched limits and interdependency (paper I). Situations that challenged the caregivers’ self-image were connected to intimacy, decreasing personal space and experiences such as “forbidden thoughts”. The findings suggest that the bodily changes were of importance for the self-image, and that the former approach to the own body was important in the process of experiencing the body. The person living close to death was in transition to something new; being dead in the near future. One way of handling the struggles of everyday life was to seek togetherness, strive to find other persons with similar experiences while sharing thoughts and feelings. Togetherness was sought within the family, in the health care system and on the internet; a sense of togetherness was also sought with those who had already died. The other family members were also in transition as the future meant living on without the ill family member and changing their status to for example being a widow or being motherless. Identity work close to death denotes creating an access ramp into something new; a transition into the unknown. From a clinical perspective, this study emphasizes the significance of creating a climate that allows caregivers to express thoughts and feelings.

Resumo: O presente mestrado pretende compreender o cotidiano de usuários em tratamento nos serviços substitutivos de saúde mental com diagnóstico do espectro esquizofrênico, através de suas narrativas sobre seu próprio cotidiano a partir da experiência de adoecimento. As narrativas a serem analisadas por este projeto foram produzidas entre (2009-2011) pela Pesquisa Matriz: "PROJETO EXPERIÊNCIA, NARRATIVA E CONHECIMENTO: A PERSPECTIVA DO PSIQUIATRA E A DO USUÁRIO" finalizado em 2011. O objetivo geral deste projeto de mestrado é: Conhecer o cotidiano de usuários com diagnóstico do espectro esquizofrênico inseridos em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) de três municípios brasileiros (Campinas, Rio de Janeiro e Salvador), a partir de suas narrativas sobre a experiência do adoecimento psíquico. Os objetivos específicos são: 1- Conhecer e descrever o cotidiano dos usuários que antecede o início do adoecimento; 2- Conhecer e descrever o cotidiano dos usuários durante as primeiras experiências do adoecimento, no momento de crise e no momento do diagnóstico; 3- Conhecer e descrever o cotidiano dos usuários após o início e processo do tratamento. Este projeto se insere no campo de investigação qualitativa multicêntrica com referencial a análise fenomenológica. A linha metodológica adotada será a fenomenologia interpretativa (hermenêutica), com aproximações aos estudos socioantropológicos e da psicopatologia fenomenológica. A análise dos dados segue a análise interpretativa fenomenológica com base nas transcrições dos grupos focais dos usuários da pesquisa matriz. As categorias encontradas e analisadas foram: Percepções de si, dos outros e do mundo; Relações com os espaços de tratamento; Trabalho e Religião. Percebe-se a riqueza das narrativas pela singularidade e complexidade das relações sociais e vi diversidade das ações que compõem o cotidiano das pessoas que passam pelo processo de adoecimento em esquizofrenia e a necessidade de Políticas Públicas e de tratamentos sensíveis a explorar essa complexidade e singularidade na cotidianidade dos sujeitos envolvidos
Abstract: This dissertation aims to understand the everyday life of people with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis being treated in substitutive services through their narratives about their everyday life experiencing the illness. The narratives analyzed by this project were collected between 2009 and 2011, by a matrix research named "PROJECT EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND NARRATIVE: The PERSPECTIVE PSYCHIATRIST AND THE USER", which ended in 2011. The main objective of this dissertation was to know the everyday life of people with schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis inserted in Psychosocial Care Centers in three Brazilian municipalities (Campinas, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador), from their narratives about the experience of mental illness. The specific objectives are: 1- Know and describe the everyday life of CAPS users prior to the start of the illness; 2- Know and describe the everyday life of CAPS users during the first illness experiences, the first crisis and the diagnosis; 3-Know and describe the everyday life of CAPS users at the beginning of treatment and during its course. This research is part of a multi-center qualitative inquiry, adopting phenomenological analysis as a reference. The framework adopted is the interpretive phenomenology (hermeneutic), drawing from socio-anthropological studies and phenomenological psychopathology. The data analysis follows the interpretative phenomenological analysis of the transcripts from focus groups with CAPS users, from the matrix research. The themes found and analyzed were the following: Self-perception, perception of others and perception of the world; Relationship with treatment places; Work and Religion. The narratives¿ richness can be perceived from the singularity and complexity of social relations and the diversity of actions that compose the everyday life of people going through the disease process in schizophrenia, and the need for Public Policy and sensitive treatment to explore this complexity and singularity in the daily life of those involved

Abstract (sommario):
The consumerism of Western culture has allowed the prevailing suburban development pattern of the latter half of the twentieth century to evolve from a pedestrian-friendly canvas for the American Dream into an iconographic realization of commuting motorists decentralized from social interaction. Symbolizing solitude and privatization. this sprawling environment has become an epidemic deteriorating the social network in the United States: a condition that requires a remedy.With the popularization of traditional neighborhood development. a large majority of newly constructed communities find themselves located away from the realities of the modern bait environment. Like a bomb shelter. occupants have been allowed the opportunity to escape to a time before sprawl. consequently ignoring the problem. In order to address this condition. these issues can no longer go unaddressed they must be healed. This study depicts suburbia as an evolving network requiring a reinsertion of a mixed-functionality into its failed developments in order to reengage the occupant and revive suburbia's communal identity: in turn allowing the resolution to evolve from a bomb shelter to a Band-Aid.With research methods including qualitative assessments of numerous case studies. writings and diagrammatic theories regarding the social realm. interviews. and the consideration of numerous texts regarding interdisciplinary concerns as well as popular culture and sociological understandings. the study defines suburbia as a poachable territory — a construct that harvests opportunities for the occupant to reengage their context. By reversing the evolution from pedestrian to motorist. these interventions allow communities to embezzle the environment in an effort to establish a collective identity and reintroduce a social ream. Furthermore. these theories are then inserted in a generalizable residential development in Carmel. Indiana named Village Park Estates. By analyzing the potential found in these developments this epidemic can begin to be diagnosed allowing the author to establish a solution grounded in the routine of the everyday.Department of Architecture

Jacques, Carmen. "Everyday ethics and storytelling after terrorism: Collaborative ethnographies exploring intersubjective identities through anthropology, victim/survivor studies and communication and cultural studies". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2021. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2392.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the effects of an experience of terrorism on the everyday lives of five ordinary people from different walks of life. I use storytelling, everyday ethics, and collaborative ethnography to enable the co-creation of emergent knowledge on the struggle to live ethical, hopeful lives after experiencing trauma. My work adds to the growing body of collaborative and ethical anthropological literature and brings an ethnographic approach into the area of terrorism/victim studies. The experimental nature of the thesis lies in its invitation to people with an experience of terror to participate in the knowledge making process.
I found each participant has a relationship with trauma that is in constant flux. There is an oscillation between the identity of a victim and that of survivor. Trauma operates like a tightrope in people's everyday lives; it must be traversed delicately, less life become unbalanced. My participants walk this tightrope of trauma; they have had to negotiate a sense of self that oscillates between who they were and who they can become.
The stories my conversationalists tell also communicate tales of self-transformation. Storytelling creates a space in which they can reimagine their experience of terror. Participants use stories to help negotiate a complex relationship with trauma, as well as to reclaim a fragile sense of agency. I argue that these stories reveal responses to violence that are necessarily social and ethical. While storytelling may not always be an effective method for reclaiming agency, the questions around storytelling after a terrorist attack (e.g. ‘Should I tell my story? to whom? and how?’) are themselves ethical ones. For my co-constructors of knowledge, the process of storytelling has allowed a re-interpretation of events and an opportunity for them to assert their renewed sense of self, often in terms of a traumatic yet transformed intersubjective identity.
The terror attacks have generated as much as they have destroyed. Despite placing constraints on aspects of participants’ everyday lives, an experience of terrorism has not determined all that each person is and who they can become. This thesis highlights the ways in which my conversationalists celebrate their humanity. Their celebration is often a struggle. There are moments that draw people with an experience of terror back into the trauma of the attack, and such moments may seem lifelong at times. These stories of shared humanity are often juxtaposed against those of continued suffering.
The struggle for humanity, and my participants’ struggle for hope, is keenly felt against the context of the violence they have experienced.

The present thesis consists in reports of four participants as well as my own personal reports in order to think how these subjects produce themselves and are produced through their cooking practices. This way, it departs from the perspective of narrative inquiry as methodological approach. As main authors to subsidize the methodological web, I highlight Brockemeier and Harré (2003), Bruner (1990; 1995), Connelly and Clandinin (1990; 1995) and Ellingson and Ellis (2008). I adopt the purposes of Quotidian and Visual Culture Studies to think how the participants’ narratives bring argumentations and notes about how their quotidian is marked by micro-resistances that individuals developed by means of their ways of doing. Thus, I understand that subjects are constituted by references and discourses, which structure their sociocultural contexts, creating with their distinct ways of relating to a practice ways of playing with normative and homogenizing principles. I consider micro-resistances above all through considerations of Michel de Certeau and Luce Giard (2000; 2003) drawn from “A invenção do Cotidiano”, which comprehend the plurality of ways of doing as potencies for subverting the sociocultural impositions. As research references on Everyday life Studies I dialogue mainly with Alves (1998; 2001; 2009; 2012), Victorio Filho (2005; 2007; 2013) and Pais (2003; 2007). Through the reports produced by participants and myself the “visual events” (ILLERIS; ARVEDSEN, 2011) that constituted the experiences that derived from the cooking practices are recovered and observed, thinking how the relation between seeing and being seen is mediated by the whole visual system that composes each lived context. Before this conception, I find the theoretical framework in the writings of Mitchell (2002; 2005), Mirzoeff (2003) and Hernández (2007; 2013). In the chapters developed along this dissertation, I approach issues which, due to being more recurrent in the notes taken by the participants, figure as theme of analysis. These are: “Swiss Lemonade or Micro-resistances through micro-existences”, in which I discuss how small narratives that inhabit the quotidian are constituted as modes of resistance through the way the subjects construct themselves in dialogue with the environment; “Baião de dois – or Kitchen and gender production”, in which I argue on how discursive constructions on gender surround and reinforce the norms that base as well as question them; “Filhoses – or Kitchens as space of affection and socialization”, which traces a reflection on the constant relation between the referred practice and the interaction processes between family and friends through cooking and feeding along with other subjects.
A presente tese desenha-se a partir dos relatos de quatro participantes, bem como de meus relatos pessoais, para pensar como os sujeitos produzem-se e são produzidos a partir de suas práticas de cozinha. Para tanto, parto da perspectiva da Investigação Narrativa como viés metodológico. Como principais autores que subsidiaram a rede metodológica destaco Brockemeier e Harré (2003), Bruner (1990, 1995), Connelly e Clandinin (1990, 1995) e Ellingson e Ellis (2008). Valho-me dos propósitos dos Estudos do Cotidiano e da Cultura Visual para pensar como as narrativas dos sujeitos da pesquisa trazem argumentações e apontamentos sobre como os cotidianos são marcados por microrresistências que os indivíduos desenvolvem a partir de suas formas de fazer. Para tanto, compreendo que os sujeitos são constituídos mediante referências e discursos que estruturam seus contextos socioculturais, criando com seus modos distintos de relacionar-se com uma prática, maneiras de jogar com normativas e preceitos homogeneizadores. Penso as microrresistências partindo, sobretudo, das considerações de Michel de Certeau e Luce Giard (2000, 2003) traçadas em “A invenção do Cotidiano”, que compreendem a pluralidade de maneiras de fazer como potências de subversão das imposições socioculturais. Como referências da pesquisa sobre os Estudos do Cotidiano dialogo principalmente com Alves (1998, 2001, 2009, 2012), Victorio Filho (2005, 2007, 2013) e Pais (2003, 2007). A partir dos relatos produzidos pelos colaboradores e por mim são retomados e observados os “eventos visuais” (ILLERIS E ARVEDSEN, 2011) que constituíram as experiências derivadas das práticas de cozinhas, pensando como a relação do ver e ser visto é mediada e oriunda de todo o sistema visual que compõe cada contexto vivido. Diante dessa concepção, busco aporte teórico nos escritos de Mitchell (2002, 2005), Mirzoeff (2003) e Hernández (2007, 2013). Nos capítulos desenvolvidos ao longo da tese abordo as questões que, por serem mais recorrentes nos apontamentos realizados pelos participantes, configuram-se como mote de análise. São eles: “Limonada Suíça ou Microrresistências a partir de microexistências”, em que discuto como as pequenas narrativas que habitam o cotidiano constituem-se como formas de resistência, a partir da forma com que o sujeito constrói a si mesmo em diálogo com seu meio; “Baião de dois – ou A cozinha e produção de gêneros”, no qual argumento sobre como as construções discursivas sobre gênero circundam e reiteram as normativas que os fundamentam, tanto quanto as indagam; “Filhoses – ou As cozinhas como espaço de afeto e socialização”, que traça uma reflexão sobre a relação constante entre a referida prática e os processos de interação entre família e amigos, a partir do cozinhar e alimentar-se com outros sujeitos.

The questions that guided the research refer to the configuration of city memories. The objective was to provide answers through an interpretative comprehension of practices and narrations of the studied group. This comprehension was built from the interaction based on fieldwork assumed as a "walk together" towards the urban landscape as the actors experience it. The researcher point of view was just one in the narrative, figuring out maps, frontiers and imaginative landscapes. All the observed and the narrated narratives were considered as constituent and constitutive of a shared memory and as forms of agency which imply ways of imagining and acting.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This study focuses on the information behaviour of older adults. The interdisciplinary approach combines everyday life information-seeking, a gerontological notion of successful ageing and research on media use. First, the media repertoires of older adults are examined from the perspective of their course of life. Their information behaviour when they have retired is analysed in Pamela McKenzie's terms of information practices, i.e. 1) active seeking, 2) active scanning, 3) non-directed monitoring and 4) getting information by proxy. A new viewpoint to information use in information studies is independent and activating media use. The theoretical framework applies a gerontological life course approach, which connects former life events to latter events in one's information behaviour. The framework in this study encompasses everyday information behaviour more generally than information-seeking. The main concepts of the framework are information practices, media use, and as a new concept, enactment. The study is based on a qualitative approach that utilizes methodological triangulation. The empirical data was gathered from 319 elderly Finns. The longitudinal material was gathered from 13 retired teachers. The methods used were interview (2004), questionnaire (2001 & 2004), sentence completion task (2001 & 2004) and the Depression-Happiness Scale (2004). A second set of material consisted of 306 media diaries from the national Yksi päivä mediaa (Media use in one day) material collected in 2001. The main methods of analysis were a narrative life review and content analysis. Different methods and material collected at two different times increase the reliability of the results and illustrate changes in the explored phenomena. This study indicates that the life course approach should be taken into account in information studies, at least when research focuses on older adults. An interesting result is the concept of enactment, which describes the activating role of media. Analysis of the data indicated that media use of older adults is connected, for example, to organising their daily programme, food, physical exercise and health, language skills, civil debate, crosswords, competitions and games, time of devotion, and lending, borrowing and recycling of material. Another notable result is the application of McKenzie's model of information practices to structure the information behaviour in everyday life. The model is also improved by applying a new information practice, abstaining from information. Its role in the information behaviour of everyday life should be studied further. The activating role of media use among populations other than the elderly is another important issue in a media environment that will be more interactive in the futureTiivistelmä Tutkimus kohdistuu ikääntyneiden informaatiokäyttäytymiseen. Tieteidenvälisessä tarkastelussa yhdistyvät informaatiotutkimuksen arkielämän tiedonhankinnan tutkimus, gerontologiasta omaksuttu käsitys onnistuvasta vanhenemisesta ja viestinnän alan mediankäytön tutkimus. Aluksi tarkastellaan ikääntyneiden mediarepertuaarien muutoksia heidän elämänkulkunsa ajalta. Eläkkeellä olon aikaista informaatiokäyttäytymistä analysoidaan arjen informaatiokäytäntöinä, joita Pamela McKenzien teoreettisen mallin mukaisesti ovat 1) aktiivinen etsintä, 2) aktiivinen seuranta, 3) kohdentumaton havainnointi ja 4) informaation saaminen toisen henkilön kautta. Informaatiotutkimuksessa uutena tiedonkäytön sovellusalana on omaehtoinen ja aktiivinen mediankäyttö. Teoreettisessa viitekehyksessä sovelletaan gerontologista elämänkulun lähtökohtaa. Sen mukaisesti ihmisten aiemmilla elämänkokemuksilla on yhteyksiä heidän myöhempään informaatiokäyttäytymiseensä. Viitekehys kattaa tiedonhankintaa yleisemmin arkielämän informaatiokäyttäytymisen. Siinä keskeisiä ovat informaatiokäytäntöjen ja mediankäytön käsitteet sekä uutena esitetty toimintaan aktivoitumisen (enactment) käsite. Tutkimus perustuu laadulliseen lähestymistapaan, jossa sovelletaan menetelmätriangulaatiota. Empiirinen aineisto on koottu yhteensä 319 ikääntyneeltä suomalaiselta. Pitkittäisaineisto koostuu 13 opettajaeläkeläiseltä saaduista tiedoista. Menetelminä olivat haastattelu (2004), kysely (2001 ja 2004), lauseentäydennystehtävä (2001 ja 2004) ja The Depression-Happiness Scale -mittari (2004). Toisena aineistona olivat 306 mediapäiväkirjaa, jotka on kerätty Yksi päivä mediaa -kirjoitustapahtumassa (2001). Pääasiallisina analyysimenetelminä olivat narratiivinen elämäntarkastelu ja sisällönanalyysi. Eri menetelmillä ja kahtena eri ajankohtana kerätyn aineiston analyysi lisää tulosten luotettavuutta ja nostaa esille tutkittavien ilmiöiden muutoksia. Tutkimuksen perusteella elämänkulun lähtökohta tulisi ottaa huomioon informaatiotutkimuksen teoreettisissa malleissa. Tämä koskee ainakin ikääntyneiden informaatiokäyttäytymistä. Kiinnostava tulos on toimintaan aktivoitumisen käsitteen esittäminen. Käsite kuvaa sitä, miten mediankäyttö aktivoi toimintaan. Esimerkiksi päiväohjelman organisointi, ravinto, liikunta ja terveys, kielitaidon ylläpitäminen, yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun osallistuminen, sanaristikot, kilpailut ja pelaaminen, hiljentyminen sekä aineiston vaihto, lainaaminen ja kierrätys nousivat esille aineiston analyysissä. Merkittävä tulos on myös McKenzien informaatiokäytäntöjen mallin soveltaminen ihmisten arkisen informaatiokäyttäytymisen jäsentämiseen sekä mallin täydentäminen informaatiosta pidättäytymisen informaatiokäytännöllä. Informaatiokäyttäytymisen käsitteen vakiinnuttaminen alan suomenkieliseen terminologiaan selkiyttäisi arkielämän tiedonhankinnasta käytettyä käsitteistöä. Jatkotutkimuksissa olisi selvitettävä informaatiosta pidättäytymistä osana laajempaa informaatiokäyttäytymistä. Mediankäytön toimintaan aktivoivaa merkitystä olisi tutkittava myös muista väestöryhmistä kuin ikääntyneistä. Lisäksi olisi tutkittava sitä, millaisia vaikutuksia median vuorovaikutuksellisuuden lisääntymisellä on ihmisten arkiseen toimintaan

Manjikian, Lalai. "Refugee narratives in Montreal: negotiating everyday social exclusion and inclusion". Thesis, McGill University, 2014. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=121160.
Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation examines the complex predicament of refugee claimants residingin Montréal. I argue that as claimants wait for immigration officials to determine their status, they become active social and political agents in the city. Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured interviews that I conducted in Montréal with individuals who had claimed refugee status, I examine everyday life practices and tactics through the lenses of social exclusion and inclusion. I use theories from refugee studies, sociology, urban studies, cultural studies, literature on alternative modes of citizenship, qualitative research and narrative inquiry. While much of the existing literature on the subject of refugees has focused predominantly on their marginalization, I contend that social inclusion and exclusion overlap, unfolding simultaneously in refugee claimants' everyday lives. Without dismissing the significant obstacles refugee claimants encounter as they re-settle—such as xenophobia, administrative barriers, economic instability, limited access to basic rights, and even fear of deportation—I focus on instances of social inclusion, revealing claimants' proactive practices and the positive contributions they make to society. During the re-settlement stage that I refer to as a sort of temporal and spatial "in-betweenness", refugee claimants engage in various practices such as volunteering in the community and partaking in political advocacy. In this way they create moments and sites of inclusivity, belonging, and generate modes of alternative or informal citizenship. Such rarely acknowledged revelations act as a counterpoint to negative perceptions of refugees who are often referred to as "bogus", "system abusers" or "passive". These are common misconceptions, often spread through certain media, government and public discourses. To further clarify how refugee claimants negotiate social inclusion and belonging, I also invert the common theory that migrants are "absent" in their place of arrival. I demonstrate the ways refugees navigate and narrate their presence in the city. Furthermore, I argue that the way their forced departure is remembered and articulated is also valuable, as it shapes their construction of their place of origin, and creates a bridge to the way their lives have unfolded in Montréal. Finally, I conduct a textual analysis of two Montréal-based theatrical scripts that integrate actual refugee narratives. I demonstrate how these specific examples of urban cultural production portray the complexities of social exclusion and inclusion associated with forced displacement, while offering alternative and unheard voices to audiences. Overall, I argue that it is imperative to examine the tensions between social exclusion and inclusion in order to better understand the refugee predicament. Identifying and acknowledging refugees' roles as informal citizens provides new avenues to reflect on refugee presence in the city beyond the scope of the prejudices, stereotypes, and labels commonly associated with individuals who are forced to flee their homes, seeking to build safer ones.Cette dissertation examine la situation complexe dans laquelle se trouvent les demandeurs d'asile en tant que réfugiés qui habitent Montréal. Alors que ceux-ci attendent que les agents d'immigration prennent une décision face à leur statut, ils deviennent des agents actifs socialement et politiquement dans leur quotidien. Mon étude est basée sur des entrevues semi-directives faites auprès de gens qui font une demande d'asile en tant que réfugiés. L'analyse porte sur leur quotidien, et considère les notions d'inclusion et d'exclusion. Mon cadre théorique est multidisciplinaire et s'inspire de la sociologie, l'urbanisme, les études sur les modes de citoyenneté alternatives, les méthodes qualitatives et les récits narratifs. Alors que la plupart des études sur les demandeurs d'asile en tant que réfugiés se concentrent sur leur marginalisation, j'affirme plutôt que l'inclusion et l'exclusionsont deux choses qui s'interpellent dans le quotidien. Sans nier les difficultés auxquelles ils font face dans leurs nouvelles vies – la xénophobie, les obstacles administratifs, l'instabilité économique, l'accès limité à certains droits civiques, et même la peur de la déportation – je mets l'accent sur l'inclusion sociale, leur participation active dans la société et ce qu'ils contribuent à leur nouvelle communauté. Durant la période de 'l'entre-deux', alors qu'ils tentent de s'établir, ils s'impliquent dans la société, par exemple dans les domaines du bénévolat ou encore l'action politique. Ils créent ainsi des lieux et des moments d'inclusion, qui leur permettent d'appartenir d'une manière informelle à une certaine citoyenneté. Cette perspective permet donc de contrebalancer les étiquettes sociales négatives qui sont parfois rattachées à ces personnes : « abuseurs du système » ou « paresseux ». Ces fausses perceptions sont communes, et se propagent au sein des medias, du gouvernement et du public en général. Afin de mieux comprendre leur situation, je démontre que ces nouveaux arrivants se forgent une place dans la ville. De plus, je soutiens que la façon dont ils ont quitté leur pays d'origine – souvent involontairement – structure la perception de leur pays d'origine et les liens d'attachement avec leur nouveau domicile. Finalement, je propose une analyse qualitative de deux scénarios de pièces de théâtre intégrant des récits réels de réfugiés. Je démontre que ces exemples spécifiques contribuent à une production culturelle urbaine qui dénote toute la complexité des phénomènes d'inclusion et d'exclusion qui émergent suite à la migration des gens, permettantainsi de s'exprimer d'une manière nouvelle. De ce fait, je note qu'il est impératifde bien examiner les tensions qui existent entre l'inclusion et l'exclusion sociale afin de bien comprendre la situation des demandeurs d'asile en tant que réfugiés. Le fait d'accepter que ces demandeurs d'asile aient un rôle informel en tant que citoyens procure de nouvelles alternatives pour étudier la présence des réfugiés dans la ville, en rejetant les préjugés, stéréotypes et étiquettes.

Resumo: A fotografia não se limita apenas ao registro de uma imagem, mas constitui-se em um elemento revelador de pensamentos, memórias passadas, sentidos e fatos vividos. A narrativa foi o modo de transmitir as experiências do espaço escolar. Este estudo teve como objetivos: identificar e analisar as experiências de alunos do 3º e 4º ciclos do ensino fundamental, bem como perceber os significados e sentidos das imagens e palavras utilizadas por eles no cotidiano escolar e suas implicações para as relações estabelecidas entre as pessoas, os espaços e tempos e os objetos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Padre Francisco Silva, da cidade de Campinas. Foram analisados registros fotográficos e relatos (narrativas) do cotidiano escolar. Os resultados mostraram que os aspectos significativos destacados pelos alunos e alunas estão relacionados principalmente com a interação com o outro, com os colegas, os professores, os funcionários; esses relacionamentos foram considerados importantes na constituição pessoal dos estudantes, na percepção dos dilemas e das descobertas da adolescência, nas experiências no contexto escolar, que revelaram aspectos pedagógicos e educativos da sala de aula e fora dela, na estrutura pessoal da instituição, nas relações entre os sujeitos na dinâmica do cotidiano da escola.
Abstract: Photographies aren't limited to the registration of an image, they constitute themselves as revealers of thoughts, past memories, meanings and experiences lived before. The narrative was the way chosen to transmit these experiences of the school environment. This study had as aims: identify and analyze experiences from students of the third and fourth cycles of an elementary school, as well as perceive the meanings of the images and words used by those students in the school daily routine and the implications of those in the relationships established between people, space and time and objects. This research was developed an elementary government school "Padre Francisco Silva", in the city of Campinas-SP. Narratives and pictures related to the school routine have been analyzed. The results obtained show that meaningful aspects pointed by the students are related to the interaction with others, being them school colleagues, teachers and employees. These interactions were considered fundamental in the personal constitution of the students, in the perception of dilemmas and discoveries typical in teenagers and in experiences related to the school context, which reveal educational and pedagogical aspects from the classroom and external ones, particular institutional aspects, in the personal structure of the institution and in the establishment of relationships among the subjects involving the dynamics of the school routine.

Rassos, Effie School of Media Film & Theatre UNSW. "Everyday narratives - reconsidering filmic temporality and spectatorial affect through the quotidian". Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Media, Film & Theatre, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/25717.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis takes as its focus the relation between particular constructions of filmic time and the resulting affective and emotional experiences these temporalities produce on a spectatorial level. This connection between time and affect is thought through more specifically here in relation to an idea of the everyday not only as a thematic concern with the minutia of routine daily existence but also as distinct, and yet shifting, conceptions of filmic and viewing time. While film studies has often approached the temporal construction of the quotidian through the rubric of ???real time,??? I explore different articulations of the everyday in a number of film practices through the writings of Henri Lefebvre. As a sociologist and philosopher preoccupied with the revolutionary quality of everyday time in both material reality and art practices including film, Lefebvre???s work enables this thesis to approach film as an especially potent and significant site for affective experiences of time and of the everyday. Beginning with John Cassavetes??? Faces (1968) and an analysis of an affective everyday temporality that film is able to produce as a temporal medium, this thesis goes on to consider the quotidian through photography and stillness in Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Chantal Akerman, 1975), dying and witnessing via Silverlake Life: The View from Here (Tom Joslin and Peter Friedman, 1993), and finally melodrama and unrequited love in Wong Kar-wai???s In the Mood for Love (Huayang Nianhua, 2000). In the analysis of these films and videos, this thesis draws on film debates explicitly concerned with time as well as focusing on those places in philosophy and critical theory where a promising and productive articulation of film and its inscription of time and affect can be found and conceptualised. In this investigation, the everyday as both a temporal construction and a spectatorial affective experience is a means to reflect on the cinema as a continually shifting and dynamic affective site.

Fritz, Horzella Heidi. "Everyday feminist subjectivities : schoolteachers' micro resistance and (counter) narratives to patriarchy". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2017. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/109193/.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis traces how feminist subjectivities are shaped, formed and lived through a focus on English schoolteachers from postwar (1945-1979) and neoliberal (1980-2015) generations. The data is located in British society at a time of resurgence in feminist activism which is also simultaneously a period of ‘postfeminist sensibilities’ combined with the pervasiveness of neoliberal rationalities. In this contradictory scenario, and using a feminist approach and qualitative methods, this research is based on fifteen life story interviews that include five further in depth thematic interviews which have been thematically analysed. The core arguments of this thesis are located in a feminist poststructuralist framework. This approach highlights the fluidity of selfhood shaped by experiences, relationality and language. Subjectivity within poststructuralism is understood as neither completely free nor absolutely determined and power relations are not only limiting but also become productive in forming the subjectivities. Accordingly, this thesis explores how feminist subjectivities are constructed and shaped in multiple ways. In particular, the feminist schoolteachers in this thesis narrated the emergence of early forms of ‘protofeminism’ located in an unarticulated sense of injustice. They spoke of the influence of ‘significant women’ and the bonds of ‘imagined sisterhood’ as enabling a more fully developed awareness of gender injustice. They also talked of their practices to support gender justice, mostly non oppositional in form or as micro resistances to patriarchal practices. All these, I argue, are experiential resources for these women to draw upon in order to enable them to form alternative and counter narratives to patriarchal discourses, and thus construct feminist subjectivities and live feminist lives to resist patriarchal regimes in neoliberal times.

Magister Artium - MAThis mini-thesis draws on the biographical materials of activists; Zubeida Jaffer, Nokuthula Simelane and Siphiwo Mthimkulu in order to investigate their representation as South African Anti-Apartheid activists. Within Post-Apartheid South Africa there seems to be a strong tendency to focus on the spectacular violence that occurred between the National Party government and Apartheid activists. This almost singular focus has led to an overwhelming promotion of the heroic narrative and as a result the structural violence of daily life under apartheid has been side-lined

Abstract (sommario):
The main aim of this project is to explore the construction of national identity as performed by members of the Russian-speaking communities living in Scotland through the analysis of intergenerational narratives and conversations between parents and their children appearing in families in everyday situations. The subject of the research is the Russian community living in Scotland. This thesis aims to answer the following questions: How do Russian migrants construct and re-construct their Russianness during the constant process of interpretation of the new reality, new country, new culture. In what way do they attempt to exhibit their Russianness to their children in the process of everyday interaction? How do the children respond to these attempts and how do they contribute and co-construct the creation of identity? Which linguistic means and strategies are used to display and pass on the elements of the identity constructed? Are there any patterns used by adults in identity creations or any likely systematic actions undertaken during the identity performances? Do the adults achieve their intended aims, if they have any? The methodological framework of the thesis exploits Foucault’s, Goffman’s and Blumer’s theories in which the identity is seen as a discursive phenomenon created and shaped by interactions appearing in everyday situations. The empirical data are analysed using Bucholtz and Hall’s sociocultural linguistic approach which enables the embedding of the study of interaction in a broader ethnographic context. Moreover, in the analytical part of the thesis the Conversational Analysis, Narrative Analysis and Membership Categorisation Analysis are employed.

The playfulness, despite being experienced with greater intensity in childhood, is a human need at any stage of life. The development of the human being with the playful may allow the processes of communication, socialization, speech and knowledge construction. Thus, this stimulus can happen rich, creative and enjoyable, ie, preserving the sense of discovery and joy contained in any type of activity, raising the self-esteem of those involved in the process. The playful indigenous practices were the subject of this study and, based on these assumptions, this study aimed to analyze the ludic practices in Indigenous Community Tabalascada. Seeking to know the universe through the socio-cultural meanings they assume in subjects who make use of them, in times past and present, in the experience of the community members in their oral narratives, establishing the relationship between the indigenous traditional aspects taught and learned from older generations and newer finally. In order to analyze and systematize the ludic practices in Indigenous Community Tabalascada was performed ethnographic research with a qualitative approach and through participant observation, and collected oral narratives. It is believed that this research contributed to the recording and valuation of traditional knowledge by indigenous peoples in their processes of teaching and learning with playful practices that have been narrated, revealing the importance of this playfulness, as well as to people who show interest in the object of study.
A ludicidade, apesar de ser vivenciada com maior intensidade na infância, é uma necessidade humana em qualquer fase da vida. O desenvolvimento do ser humano com o lúdico facilita os processos de comunicação, socialização, expressão e construção do conhecimento. Assim, esse estímulo pode acontecer de forma rica, criativa e agradável, preservando o prazer da descoberta e a alegria contida em qualquer tipo de atividade, elevando a autoestima dos envolvidos no processo. As práticas lúdicas indígenas foram o objeto deste estudo e, partindo dessas premissas, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as práticas lúdicas na Comunidade Indígena Tabalascada, buscando conhecer o universo sócio cultural por meio das significações que assumem nos sujeitos que delas se utilizam, nos tempos anteriores e atuais, na vivência dos membros da comunidade, em suas narrativas orais, estabelecendo a relação entre os aspectos tradicionais indígenas ensinados e aprendidos entre gerações mais velhas e mais novas. Nesse sentido e, visando sistematizar as práticas lúdicas dessa comunidade, foi realizada uma pesquisa etnográfica, com abordagem qualitativa, por meio da observação participante e das narrativas orais dos seus moradores. Acreditamos que esta pesquisa contribuiu para o registro e valorização dos conhecimentos tradicionais dos povos indígenas em seus processos de ensinar e aprender, suas vozes revelaram a importância da ludicidade presentes nas práticas cotidianas, bem como para todos os que demonstrarem interesse por esse objeto de estudo.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis uses affect theory and studies of emotion to analyse literary representations of the everyday in fictional and non-fictional writing about Muslim migrant women in the UK from 1906 to 2012. Postcolonial literary studies tend to value exceptional events over mundane life, which causes possible issues of exoticism and a danger of homogenising distinct experiences. This thesis offers a theorisation of migration that foregrounds everyday experience through an engagement with theories of objects, bodies and space, as well as emotional experiences that are specific to migrant subjectivity. It analyses two groups of texts: early twentieth century travel writing by Atiya Fyzee, Shahbano Begum Maimoona Sultan and Zeyneb Hanoum, and contemporary literary texts by Yeshim Ternar, Farhana Sheikh, Monica Ali, Leila Aboulela, Elif Shafak and Fadia Faqir. The thesis is structured thematically into three sections, each section containing two chapters, one about travel writing and another about contemporary texts. In the first section, in order to examine how the texts negotiate foreignness in daily life, I consider hospitality theory, which describes how social power relations are based on roles of host and guest. In the second section, I argue that melancholia is an emotional experience endemic to migrancy. The texts demonstrate how this emotion is manifest communally as well as individually, which also shows the political potential of emotion. In the third section, I investigate how emotional processes of migration are described spatially in the texts. The findings of this research show that emotional knowledge is a major concern for migrant writers as a way of engaging with and critiquing the social and political climates of each text. This is produced through narrations about feeling in general and specific emotions, such as irritation or anxiety. Emotional experience is illustrated in conjunction with identities that are both fluid and intersectional, where gender and class converge with ethnicity and religion. The texts also show specifically affective styles of writing that concentrate on focalising women's intimate experiences through, for example, diary entries, bildungsroman or psychological realism. While the differing contexts reflect the particularities of each experience, there are sufficient similarities of narrative content and style to suggest that affective experience is a major concern for this body of literature. Overall, this thesis demonstrates the productive uses of affect theory as a critical stance for analysing postcolonial literature.

Abstract (sommario):
I worked as a school administrator in 'disadvantaged schools' for many years. In this study I asked colleagues from sixteen schools in the northern and western suburbs of Adelaide to co - theorise about changes in their neighbourhood, school populations and programs, now that their schools are no longer recognised by policy as 'disadvantaged1.
I explore the use of narrative method and arts based approaches by constructing a 'literary' research text that uses conventional sociological forms together with images, poetry and personal stories.
I use anthropological and geographical theoretical constructs to look at the changing material, economic, cultural and social landscapes and the mosaic of inequalities in the city of Adelaide. I suggest that this is not a simple binary polarisation, although large numbers of people are similarly positioned by de-industrialisation and the diminishing social wage. After examining the literature on poverty in Australia, I am eventually prepared to call this space class, understanding that this is a sociological metaphor.
Through a theorisation of each school as a 'place' within a specific neighbourhood, I look at the similarities and differences across sites. I suggest that 'disadvantaged schools' are similarly positioned as sites for the mediation of social inequalities, and that this can be readily seen in the time consuming 'housework' of discipline and welfare. I indicate how each school is differently able to 'do more with less', because of their unique neighbourhood and its narratives, knowledges, histories, teleologies and people. I show that the common coercive regimes of market devolution, new public management and the 'distributive curriculum' frame the work of teachers, students and administrators in ways that are not conducive to 'doing justice', despite the policy rhetoric of equity and community. I provide evidence that the neoliberal imaginary of context free schooling enshrined in effective schools literatures is Utopian and irrational. I argue that the capacity of the school to 'generate context' is always paradoxically dependent on 'context derived'.
I discuss the notion of 'doing justice' and the benefits of 'disadvantaged schools' having a local set of principles that guide their decisions and actions and provide evidence that the school administrator's understandings of 'doing justice' are important. I also suggest that, despite being increasingly isolated and hindered by policy directions, the majority of the sixteen schools continue to work for and with principles of justice and equity, drawing on a range of emotional and intellectual resources and deep, longstanding commitments.
I conclude by speculating on the kinds of policy and research agendas that might take account of both the commonalities and differences amongst 'disadvantaged schools', and what might be included in a comprehensive and systematic approach to 'doing justice'.

Abstract (sommario):
This research examines narratives about the quality of everyday life with dementia. The aim of the study is to compare and contrast differing perspectives about the impact of ageing and dementia upon the lives of older people with dementia. A total of 50 interviews with six older people with dementia and ten family and paid carers were conducted over a two-year period. Narrative analysis was used to examine the content and structure of their accounts to understand their perspectives on what matters most to people living with dementia. This in-depth analysis enabled an exploration of different social concepts and narrative constructions that people draw upon in making sense of their experiences of caring and living with dementia. The analysis demonstrated that older people incorporate ageing and dementia into a continuing sense of self. Positive constructions of living with dementia involve the ability to lead a meaningful life that supports pre-existing social roles and relationships and active engagement within the family and community. The emphasis is on living an ordinary life while responding to the challenges associated with cognitive impairment and social stigma. For family and paid carers, perceptions of a meaningful life depend on how the identity of the older person with dementia is positioned relative to past social roles and relationships. Positive constructions assume continuity as opposed to focusing on disruption in the person’s identity and life. Carer perspectives are also influenced by how the person is perceived to conform to social standards of normality. The narratives of older people with dementia reflect their active struggle to find meaning in terms of realising their sense of self within a social world that largely defines them as different and out of the ordinary. The narratives of carers resonate with emotional difficulty, reflecting their struggle to make sense of a life that is not represented as essentially normal. These findings show that, for all, finding meaning in everyday life depends upon making sense of that life as normal and ordinary.

Resumo: Este trabalho constitui-se na narrativa produzida por uma professora que pesquisa a própria prática pedagógica. Focando a análise dos materiais produzidos no trabalho docente de três anos consecutivos com praticamente o mesmo grupo de crianças, a professora-pesquisadora produz reflexões acerca da experiência vivida em diálogo com seus alunos e alunas dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Princípios do campo da Educação Popular alimentam a análise que busca compreender os sentidos produzidos nas escolhas da professora que almeja a realização de um trabalho que considere os sujeitos envolvidos como coautores do mesmo. Em diálogo com Benjamin, Larossa, Geraldi e Prado a professora compreende experiências como acontecimentos que transformam os envolvidos e a maneira como se relacionam consigo, com o outro e com o conhecimento, proporcionando lições que ensinam sobre a complexidade do cotidiano escolar, analisado e narrado na perspectiva da organização do tempo e do trabalho. Fundamentalmente com Freire, Brandão, Sampaio, Esteban, Garcia, Geraldi, Pistrak e Freinet coloca a análise da prática pedagógica sob a perspectiva dialógica, em relação estreita com a vida dos sujeitos implicados no processo. O percurso da pesquisa é narrado durante o texto que respeita a ordem cronológica dos acontecimentos no período em que esta se realiza. O lugar onde a investigação é fundada marca o olhar para a escola neste trabalho: turma de alfabetização, em uma escola pública na periferia de Campinas, entre os anos de 2008 a 2010. Lugar de desafios e apostas no sentido de oferecer educação de qualidade às crianças, jovens e adultos em grande parte oriundos de famílias que experimentam o fracasso escolar há gerações. A pesquisa promove processo de sistematização e aprofundamento de elaborações a respeito do planejamento do trabalho pedagógico em diálogo com conceitos que contextualizam práticas no âmbito político.
Abstract: This work constitutes the narrative produced by a teacher who research their own teaching practice. Focusing on the analysis of teaching materials produced in three consecutive years with virtually the same group of children the teacher-researcher produces reflections on the experience in dialogue with their students of the early years of elementary school. Assumptions of the field of Popular Education feed analysis that seeks to understand the meanings produced in the choices of the teacher who aims to carry out a work that considers the individuals involved as co-authors of the same. In dialogue with Benjamin, Larossa, Geraldi, Prado and the teacher understands experiences as events that transformed the involved, and how you relate with each other and with the knowledge, providing lessons that teach about the complexity of school life, analyzed and narrated from the perspective of the organization of time and work. Fundamentally with Freire, Brandão, Sampaio, Esteban, Garcia, Geraldi, Freinet and Pistrak poses the analysis of teaching practice from the perspective of dialogical, In close relationship with the life of the subjects involved in the process. The course of the study is reported in the text concerning the chronological order of eventsin the period in which this takes place. The place where the inquiry is made the brand look at the school in this work: literacy class in a public school on the periphery of Campinas, between the years 2008 to 2010. Place bets and challenges in order to provide quality education to children, youth and adults largely from families who experience school failure for generations.

Abstract (sommario):
Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de JaneiroEsta pesquisa buscou conhecer as concepções de negritude e afrobrasilidade e compreender como as relações raciais se estabelecem no cotidiano do grupo de estudantes que integram o Coral de Vozes do Amanhã do CIEP Santos Dumont localizado no Bairro Alto Independência da cidade de Petrópolis, Região Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A matéria prima para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa foram as narrativas orais e escritas desses sujeitos, que emergiram em sala de aula, além de tapetes bordados por eles no contexto de oficinas de textos literários infanto-juvenis de autores contemporâneos africanos e afrobrasileiros. Os resultados obtidos no decorrer desse processo poderão se transformar em fontes significativas, de modo a contribuir para a desconstrução do racismo, preconceito e desigualdades raciais, além de chamar a atenção para que se tenha escuta atenta a muitas vozes que foram historicamente silenciadas. Minha pesquisa priorizou a emergência dessas narrativas em sala de aula, que foram meu material de análise, além de uma tentativa de interferência no currículo, considerando os saberes, experiências, histórias e memórias desse grupo de crianças e jovens.
This research sought to know the conceptions of blackness and afrobrasilidade and understand how race relations established in the daily life of the Group of students that integrate the Choir Vozes do Amanhã of CIEP Santos Dumont located in Bairro Alto Independence of the city of Petropolis, mountainous region of Estado do Rio de Janeiro , whose raw material for the development of this research were written and as the oral narratives of those subjects who emerged in the classroom, from the practice of my project, which consisted in sharing literary texts for children and young person, that were written by contemporary of African and afrobrazilians authors and encouraging handicraft embroidery on tapestry as provoking the emergence of narratives. The results obtained in the course of this process can become significant sources in order to contribute to the deconstruction of racism, prejudice, racial inequality, and draw attention to attentive listening to many voices that were historically silenced. My research prioritized the emergence of these narratives in the classroom, which were my material analysis, plus an attempt of interference in the curriculum, considering the knowledge, experiences, stories and memories of this group of children and young people.

Abstract (sommario):
Esta dissertação surgiu a partir do desejo de contar a minha experiência como professora de Educação de Jovens e Adultos, como eu a vivi, o que aprendi e o que ainda quero descobrir. É nesta medida que, através deste trabalho, pesquisei e ouvi os relatos dos professores, pensando em suas práticas cotidianas, suas subjetividades e suas relações com os conteúdos escolares e com os saberes dos alunos, buscando identificar práticas emancipatórias em seus processos educativos cotidianos. As vozes dos alunos, tornam-se audíveis também, através das narrativas de suas vivências, que permitem, também, identificar atividades emancipatórias em meio aos seus processos de aprendizagem. Narrativas de alunos e narrativas de professores se entrelaçam criando uma trama da memória cotidiana, sobre a qual Nilda Alves (2008) chama a atenção por ser uma narrativa não linear e sujeita a diversas interrupções e introduções de outras histórias paralelas. Dessa forma, busquei fazer um entrelaçamento entre narrativas de professores e alunos, procurando tecer uma rede a partir da narrativa da vida e da literaturização da ciência.This thesis came from the desire to tell my experience as an Education of Young and Adults teacher, how I lived it, what i learned and what I still want to discover. To that end, I have researched and heard the testimonies od the teachers, thinking about their daily work, their subjectivities and their relationships with school contents and with the knowledge of the students, looking to identify emancipatory practices in their daily educational processes. The students' voices also become audible, through the narrative of their experiences, which allows us to identify emancipatory activities in the midst of their learning processes. The narratives of both students and teachers connect weaving a web of daily memory, highlighted by Nilda Alves (2008) for being a non-linear narrative susceptible to various interruptions and introductions od other parallel stories. This way, I tried to make an intersection between narratives of teachers and students, looking to weave a web based on the narrative of life and the literarization of science.

Richards, Jessie Woolley. "Lived narratives, everyday trauma, and the aftermath of the Bosnian war| Human rights as living practice". Thesis, The University of Utah, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10163084.
Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation draws from research in memory studies, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, and human rights rhetoric to argue that analysis of on-the-ground discourses in the form of lived narratives advances how we think about human rights. Eleven Bosnian Americans who came to Salt Lake City, Utah as a result of the Bosnian war in the mid-1990s were interviewed. I examine how participants share stories about prewar, wartime, and postwar life, and how trauma emerges from those narratives in the form of “traumatic breach” and “(dis)placement trauma”. My findings suggest that a practice of human rights is more effectively understood as lived, accounting for the enduring embodiment of trauma manifest throughout these collected, lived narratives, rather than as physical, static manifestations of violence. As opposed to universalist conceptions of justice put forth by The Hague, this research pays attention to local particularities as significant groundwork for theorizing human rights violations and war trauma.

Abstract (sommario):
Textiles have accompanied the embodied self from the beginnings of humanity, throughout the journey of life. Human life without textiles is unimaginable: not only our bodies and environments, but also our memories, thoughts and theories are clothed. Focusing on the everyday textiles often overlooked by force of habit, such as sheets, socks, towels and curtains, this arts-based project traces the textile self in all its expressions, exploring the manifold ways of meaning making through the tacit textile knowledge we carry, quite literally, on our skin. Textile stories, memories, materials and metaphors collected from a wide range of sources, from the domestic environment to philosophical discourse, are brought together in assemblages and objects, made to entice the narrative imagination and open up new ways of thinking through textiles, in and beyond words. Presented as a multi-sensory art installation that is also a hands-on learning resource, archive and space for personal and intellectual narratives to emerge, the practical component of the thesis, Mirabilia Domestica: the textile self re/collected, is modelled on the pre-disciplinary cabinet of wonders of early modernity. The written component considers the concepts of knowledge behind this predecessor of universities, museums and art galleries as it is gaining renewed impact in artistic practices and academic discourse, and links them to the textile investigation. The fluid and transformative nature of textiles not only underpins processes of making, but also informs a research methodology of inquisitive meandering, led by curiosity and subject to serendipity, proposed as more apt than rigorous methods and solid frameworks to capture the imaginative and complex ways we move in and make sense of the world. Through visual and tactile propositions, the thesis challenges the logo-centric bias of academic research as well as the ocularcentricity of contemporary arts, and aims to draw the reader/receiver into a web of possibilities, thus contributing departure lines for future investigations into the richly textured fabric of life. A dedicated website, www. mirabilia-domestica. co. uk, provides a link between text and artwork, and serves as an on-line catalogue of the installation.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis explores young women's embodied experiences in everyday life. Three empirical studies utilising different methods were conducted exploring specific topics relating to women's everyday embodiment. Firstly, life history interviewing and participants' own pre-existing photographs from different time periods were used to explore specific, meaningful experiences in relation to women's embodiment over time. Secondly, diary writing and photo-production was used to explore heterosexual women's experiences of embodying pleasure in everyday life. And lastly, a memory work group method was used to explore heterosexual feminists' experiences of embodying anger in specific interactions with sexual partners. The accounts produced were analysed using a poststructuralist hermeneutic phenomenological narrative method of analysis, exploring simultaneously the embodied and phenomenological detail of specific experiences and the grounding of such experiences in wider sociopolitical processes and contexts. Women's accounts of their everyday embodiment suggested that experiences of being treated as object-like and experiences of movement were central. As such, incidents of being treated as object-like were experienced as disempowering and contrasted with experiences of movement felt as positive and liberating. Furthermore, aspects of time and space were central to women's explorations of their embodied experiences in everyday life. This thesis enjoins poststructuralist and phenomenological principles in proposing a critical feminist social psychological approach to women's embodiment, which theorises embodied experience as sensuous process lived through the spatial, material and socio-political world. This approach allows explicit embodied focus on how persons negotiate, accept or resist power dynamics, and thus live through and embody social practices and action.
