    The pleasure of thinking in human development
    (2024-03-27)
    Zittoun, Tania 
    Observing children and scientists clearly suggests that people may experience pleasure in thinking. Surprisingly, pleasure is rarely addressed in developmental psychology. The argument of the paper is that pleasure of thinking may play an important role in learning and development; it draws on secondary analysis of existing studies and theoretical work to ground this proposition. The paper first draws on classical observations of young children to highlight five modalities of pleasure in thinking: curiosity, functional pleasure, discovery, dialogical pleasure, and a meta-pleasure. It then examines the becoming of these pleasures during the school years, highlighting the conditions for these pleasures to develop. The paper then suggests that such pleasure can be pursued and cultivated during adulthood. Theoretical and empirical implications are finally highlighted.

    L’émergence du possible dans le cadre des transitions de genre : une étude exploratoire en psychologie socioculturelle
    (Neuchâtel : Université de Neuchâtel, 2024-02-21)

    Zittoun, Tania 
    Dans une société oscillant entre invisibilité (Namaste, 2000) et oppression (Medico et al., 2020), comment les personnes trans parviennent-elles à se penser et s’imaginer dans un autre genre ? A travers une recherche exploratoire d’inspiration phénoménologique, et en se basant sur les travaux en psychologie socioculturelle développés autour de l’imagination et du possible (Zittoun & Gillespie, 2016 ; Glăveanu, 2021), j’examine la manière dont le possible émerge dans les parcours de transition de genre. A partir de données empiriques issues d’entretiens avec des personnes concernées, je propose un modèle composé de quatre processus centrés sur la notion de reconnaissance. Je soutiens qu’à travers ces différentes dimensions s’élabore une reconfiguration de l’impossible en possible, et peut aboutir finalement à des actions concrètes dans la vie des personnes concernées. Les apports de cette recherche permettent 1) de consolider les connaissances académiques concernant le rôle de l’imagination dans les trajectoires trans ; 2) de renforcer l’intervention clinique transaffirmative (Medico & Pullen-Sansfaçon, 2017) ; 3) de proposer des pistes d’exploration du genre pour les personnes concernées.

    Thematic engagements: Affects and learning in older age
    (2024)
    Zittoun, Tania 
    ;
    Cabra, Martina 
    In this paper, we propose a sociocultural perspective to consider affects in older age. The psychology of learning throughout the whole life course, including in the life of older adults, suggest that affects play an important role. However, developmental psychology has paid little attention to affects in learning and development, and even less to these aspects in older age. We believe that it is important to examine affects in older age because of their centrality in the lifecourse; but how to account for them? We propose the notion of thematic engagement to highlight the role of affects in older persons' learning and development, and to designate transversal and pluri-thematic interests across activities and domains of knowledge, which enable us to show that some topics, domains or interests become more important than others for a given person across time. We base our claims on a longitudinal study of older people engaging in different activities at home, in their neighbourhood, as well as in a daycare centre for older people, and provide three dialogical exemplars. We finally highlight some theoretical and empirical implications of our proposition.

    Categorising certain forms of human movement as ‘migration’ and others as ‘mobility’ has far-reaching consequences. We introduce the migration–mobility nexus as a framework for other researchers to interrogate the relationship between these two categories of human movement and explain how they shape different social representations. Our framework articulates four ideal-typical interplays between categories of migration and categories of mobility: continuum (fluid mobilities transform into more stable forms of migration and vice versa), enablement (migration requires mobility, and mobility can trigger migration), hierarchy (migration and mobility are political categories that legitimise hierarchies of movement) and opposition (migration and mobility are pitted against each other). These interplays reveal the normative underpinnings of different categories, which we argue are too often implicit and unacknowledged.

    Designing landscapes of affordances for aging in place

    This paper aims to contribute theoretically, methodologically and empirically to research and interventions regarding aging in place. Theoretically the paper contributes by drawing on literature on landscapes of care and landscapes of affordances to suggest a multiscalar and more-than-human approach to ageing in place. Methodologically, we argue that studying ageing in place requires a participatory and translational methodology. Participatory methods are, on one hand, a pre-requisite for an understanding of how older adults live their daily lives, and particularly use a ‘landscape of affordances’ in their social and material environment. A translational process, on the other hand, is necessary to elaborate research results incrementally across the different stages that lead to interventions on the ground. Finally, empirically, we draw on results of a study based on go-along interviews, photographic observations, and biographic interviews. In its empirical part, our paper describes the difficulties and gains of the different aspects of this participatory and translational process. In summary, the paper both develops the conceptual underpinnings of ‘ageing in place’ and informs the methodologies of applied research in this domain.

    ;
    Zittoun, Tania 
    This interview is a slightly modified transcript from the second Psyche Talk, hosted at the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University, February 15, 2024. Psyche Talks are hosted as biannual events, where prominent psychological researchers are invited to discuss fundamental questions about the nature and subject matter of psychology through an interview-based format. The focus of this interview is on how people make sense of change on the personal, social and environmental level and the role of symbolic resources in making meaning of and transitioning through rupturing changes. In this interview, Professor of Sociocultural Psychology, Tania Zittoun, is interviewed by Associate Professor of Sociocultural Psychology, Sarah Awad.

    The Pleasure of Thinking
    (Cambridge University Press, 2023-10-19)
    Zittoun, Tania 
    Tania Zittoun demonstrates that there is pleasure in thinking, and that the pleasure of thinking plays a key role in our lives – in the development of children, in learning, in adult life, and in ageing. Drawing on arts and philosophy, exploring research in developmental psychology, cultural psychology, and psychoanalysis, it highlights five modalities of thinking: curiosity, the functional pleasure of pursuing a task, the pleasure of discovery, the dialogical pleasure of thinking with others, and a meta-pleasure. This book proposes a unique integrative model of thinking, conceived as a situated activity, following trajectories that combine modalities of pleasure. Evolving with time, the pleasure of thinking can take place as we reason, make sense, or daydream, at school, at work, when we garden, or do science. Academics and graduate students in sociocultural, critical, developmental, and cognitive psychology will benefit from The Pleasure of Thinking.

    Understanding women in mobility and their adjustment using a dialogical approach
    (2023-09-20)
    Gupta Ewering, Vrinda
    ;
    Zittoun, Tania 
    This research project aims to understand the adjustment mechanisms mobilised by women in a new sociocultural environment and the extent to which employment plays a role in affecting their process of transitioning. It does so by examining the experiences, perceptions, and negotiations of women in mobility, in essence, by considering individual aspects to broaden the scope beyond just studying the connection between employment and mobility. This study employs a visual method to qualitative research. Using a qualitative approach to dialogical analysis, this study examines the diverse voices captured within individuals' narratives through interviews and diary data, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of their experiences and perspectives to understand adjustment.

    Le sentiment de confiance/méfiance du/de la/des modèle.s dans la relation dialogique photographe-modèle.s
    (Neuchâtel : Université de Neuchâtel, 2023-08-01)
    Noirjean, Océane 
    ;
    Zittoun, Tania 
    Ce travail de mémoire s’intéresse à l’effet de la relation photographe-modèle.s sur le sentiment de confiance/méfiance du/de la/des modèle.s. Afin de répondre à ce questionnement, deux entretiens individuels et cinq entretiens collectifs avec des modèles hommes, femmes et également enfants ont été menés. Avant cela, quatre entretiens exploratoires ont été réalisés auprès de deux photographes et deux modèles. De plus, je me suis moi-même engagée sur le terrain dans le cadre d’un shooting photographique durant lequel je me suis mise à la place d’un/une modèle. Ces deux étapes ont permis de dégager des pistes de recherches autour de la relation photographe-modèle.s qui ont été ensuite approfondies lors de la dernière phase empirique. Celles-ci ont mis en évidence la question du sentiment de confiance/méfiance et dès lors je me suis intéressée au sentiment de confiance/méfiance du/de la/des modèle.s dans le cadre d’un shooting photo. Cette recherche s’inscrit dans une perspective dialogique et mobilise deux concepts principaux : la confiance/méfiance et le dialogue. Les notions de mot, d’Ego-Alter et de moralité dans la construction de sens sont également définies. En s’appuyant sur ces concepts, la recherche empirique montre que la relation photographe-modèle.s agit sur le sentiment de confiance/méfiance du/de la/des modèle.s par son asymétrie, mais également par son déplacement vers une relation symétrique. De plus, des notions comme le temps et le groupe ressortent comme des ressources qui renforcent le sentiment de confiance et/ou de méfiance du/de la/des modèles dans le cadre de la relation photographe-modèle.s.
