Cultures of listening, dark listening and a plea for theory
Russi (2021) suggests ‘eavesdropping’ as a way to appreciate the practical implications of Shotter’s (2015) stance that social inquiry is an art/craft beginning with experience, rather than a technique pre‐determined by theory and methods. Following Russi’s instruction to eavesdrop on his eavesdropping, I explore his concepts of experience and listening. Contrary to Russi I issue a plea for theory, as theoretical frameworks are key for tracking t…
Suspended transitions and affective orderings
While monogamy is the norm for romantic and intimate relationships in contemporary western societies, having other sexual and affective interactions alongside a monogamous relationship is a common practice. Instead of a unilateral and/or covert non-monogamy, polyamory promises a consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy. The personal transformation of normative cultural frameworks is fundamental to the experience of “becoming polyamorous.…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Liminal Hotspots
This article introduces a special issue of Theory and Psychology on liminal hotspots. A liminal hotspot is an occasion during which people feel they are caught suspended in the circumstances of a transition that has become permanent. The liminal experiences of ambiguity and uncertainty that are typically at play in transitional circumstances acquire an enduring quality that can be described as a “hotspot”. Liminal hotspots are characterized by dy…
Managing suspended transition in medicine and law
This article explores occasions when professionals in law enforcement and medicine find themselves trapped amidst the paradoxical demands of diagnostic/investigative practice. By juxtaposing research into the experiences of police officers charged with interviewing children who are the alleged victims of sexual abuse, and clinicians tasked with diagnosing and managing contested cases of thyroid disease, the paper develops an understanding of such…
Varieties of Biosocial Imagination
The authors present climate change and antibiotic resistance as emergent biosocial phenomena-ongoing products of massively multiple interactions among human lifestyles and broader life processes. They argue that response to climate change and antibiotic resistance is often framed by two varieties of biosocial imagination. Anthropocentric imaginations privilege the question of human distinctiveness. Anthropomorphic imaginations privilege the quest…
Decision-making in mental healthcare
As Victorian asylums closed down in the UK, community mental health services were set up to support patients in exercising choice and freedom; in finding a place in society. The success of these services has been questioned so further policies have been introduced in an effort to protect rights and improve social inclusion. However, ‘capacity to make decisions’ has been interpreted as no more than a process of rational mental calculation. This ar…
The Biosocial Event
Innovation in the life sciences calls for reflection on how sociologies separate and relate life processes and social processes. To this end we introduce the concept of the 'biosocial event'. Some life processes and social processes have more mutual relevance than others. Some of these relationships are more negotiable than others. We show that levels of relevance and negotiability are not static but can change within existing relationships. Such…
Navigating the bio-politics of childhood
Childhood research has long shared a bio-political terrain with state agencies in which children figure primarily as ‘human futures’. In the 20th century bio-social dualism helped to make that terrain navigable by researchers, but, as life processes increasingly become key sites of bio-political action, bio-social dualism is becoming less useful as a navigational aid. The contribution that a view of childhood as a ‘hybrid’ phenomenon might make t…
Exploring the transdisciplinary trajectory of suggestibility
The Semiotic of Accusation
This paper explores the aim, structure and language use of the deconstructive critique of developmental psychology as a specific methodology, i.e. a specific practice of critique. The analysis focuses on the past work of a group of authors captured under the term “critical psychology of development” (e.g., Morss 1996 Morss, JR. 1996. Growing critical. Alternatives to developmental psychology, London: Routledge. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]; Walk…
