Desiring occupation: Theorising the passion, creativity, and social production of everyday life
In this paper, we operationalise a postmodern conceptualisation of desire in order to articulate occupation as a passionate, creative, and productive process that is entangled with the social world. Employing the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, we use the concepts of assemblage and desire to theorise how passionate impulses are socially constructed and produce the flows of everyday life. The concept of assemblages refers to the d…
Afflexivity in post-qualitative inquiry: Prioritising Affect and Reflexivity in the Evaluation of a Health Information Website
how these intra-actions pushed in some directions and away from others. Although Ahmed would likely not consider herself 'post-humanist', we argue that her socio-political theories of how objects and emotions entangle are of great interest to furthering critical post-human understandings of health. Rather than threatening decision-making, we suggest that feelings (and their affects) are central to it. The article demonstrates the productive poten…
Destabilising social inclusion and recovery, and pursuing 'lines of flight' in the mental health sector
People who have been diagnosed with serious mental illness have a long history of confinement, social stigma and marginalisation that has constrained their participation in society. Drawing upon the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, we have used the concepts of: assemblages , major and minor and deterritorialisation to critically analyse two pervasive and ‘taken‐for‐granted’ assemblages in mental health: recovery ( including clinical rec…
The Dissident Interview: A Deterritorializing Guerrilla Encounter
Drawing from the work of Deleuze and Guattari, we experimentally chart a cartography of a peculiar interview (an "off-topic" and "dissident" interview that disrupts the agenda of the interviewer). In this article, we aim to traverse the micropolitics of the interview, the entangled relations of power and resistance. We intentionally chart the intensive topography of the peculiar and re-present what was once missed (or passed over). Thinking with …
Becoming minor: Mapping new territories in occupational science
This paper draws upon the poststructural work of Deleuze and Guattari to outline a framework for analyzing social formations in a way that is acentred from the individual. The concepts of the major and minor, becoming minor and the rhizome provide a useful framework for scholars and practitioners to engage in affirmative political modes of thought, challenge dominant discourses and seek transformative processes. The major are the dominant things …
The structural-personal interaction: Occupational deprivation and asylum seekers in Australia
Asylum seekers experience occupational deprivation in the context of restrictive social structures while awaiting refugee visa-status determination. How do social structures of citizenship status and policy shape asylum seekers’ experiences? Asylum seekers’ experiences in Australia are examined using constructivist grounded theory. Field notes from 10 months of weekly participant observation, 11 formal interviews, 34 survey responses and four pol…
Experiences of academic staff in using threshold concepts within a reformed curriculum
Threshold concepts were used to underpin a major curriculum reform endeavour in occupational therapy. After rigorous interrogation of troublesome knowledge and ensuring that the emergent concepts conformed to the five characteristics of previously proposed threshold concepts, we identified five threshold concepts. Two years into the rollout of the new curricula, academics participated in two focus groups. Questions focused on staff members' persp…
Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Data Collection and Analysis Methods in Understanding Multiple Sclerosis Fatigue Management
Combining qualitative inquiry with quantitative frequency data in a mixed methods research approach was valuable in understanding the strategies that people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) used to manage their fatigue. Understanding its management is important because fatigue is often described by people with MS as their most disabling symptom and can pervade all aspects of a person's life. This research aimed to identify how often people used parti…
