Silence is a construction: An exploratory study of people’s everyday understandings
In this exploratory study, we documented the variety of meanings and range of experiences that people associate with the word “silence”. The research involved developing premises for a “qualitative-first” content analysis, based on the anonymous responses of 116 participants to six incomplete sentences prompts. If a participant described two or more features of silence in their response, we coded these entries separately. We analyzed 890 codes vi…
Experiences of Fathers in Norway Attending an Online Course on Therapeutic Writing After the Death of a Child
After the unexpected death of a child, bereaved parents require prompt access to helpful support systems. Online therapeutic writing courses can make such support accessible. Because few studies have included bereaved fathers as participants, we explored the experiences of fathers whose children died unexpectedly and who were part of an online course of therapeutic writing in Norway. We piloted two courses (group 1, six weeks, n = 9; group 2, 5 w…
Silence as a magnifying glass for uncertainty and affect: The qualitative case studies of Karin and Dana's journals
This article focuses on what diverse forms of silence (i.e., silence-phenomena) convey about affective processing and meaning-making as processes. Departing from a dialogical perspective that informs sociocultural and existential theories, we qualitatively analyze Karin and Dana's (pseudonyms) cases. These two Master's students attended a three-week-long intensive and interdisciplinary course at a Norwegian university. The course is about silence…
“Humbled by Life”: Poetic Representations of Existential Pathways and Personal Life Philosophies Among Older Adults in Norway
In this article, we support the use of poetic representations to study experiential and existential meaning-making. We do so by presenting five spoken-word poems, which we created out of the transcriptions of 14 in-depth interviews with Norwegian older adults, prior to their enrollment in a biographical writing course. The poetic representations which have been named by themes from the transcript are (a) Where love takes us, (b) Relax during cata…
Revisiting “The Art of Being Fragile”: Why cultural psychology needs literature and poetry
Writers devote their lives to find words that faithfully resemble what is at the core of human experience and existence. Thus, psychologists interested in understanding human development in everyday life could turn toward writers and poets with humble curiosity. In this article, we illustrate how a narrative analysis of a work of art can be done, taking “ The Art of Being Fragile. How Leopardi can Save your Life” by the Italian writer and teacher…
This Is the Real “Death-Line” and I Am Still Alive: A collaborative reflexivity about life trajectories
In this article, we, Olga Lehmann, Mixo Hansen and Helena Hurme, engage in a process of collaborative reflexivity upon living, aging, and dying as we attempt to make sense of the illnesses of the last author. The companionship that emerged between us in the plurality of our identities as friends, colleagues, coauthors, and women, encouraged us to revisit aspects of the theories in developmental-cultural psychology such as (a) the process of meani…

Towards dialogues with and within silence in psychotherapy processes: Why the person of the therapist and the client matters
A clinical practice, when seen as a cultural setting, acts as a social regulator of both talk and silence. Taking the paper of Martínez et al. as a starting point, I suggest an integrative understanding of the psychotherapeutic process as a discursive genre highlighting the possible implications that the focus on silence can have in the dynamics of different I-positions. Furthermore, I hypothesize that generalization in psychotherapy research fro…

Silence in the musical scores of human phenomena
In the search to comprehend human nature we dig into the past looking for clues to describe and interpret which way we behave the same and/or differently: the music we listen, the way we dance, the clothes we wear, the places we go, the rituals we practice, and so on. When talking about identity, the past becomes a question we must return to, being tied to its ornaments in ways we cannot acknowledge completely. But how do we gain such comprehensi…
