    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.

    Crises in the course of lives, Crises in society: A sociocultural approach
    Lives are constantly changing, and so are societies. Yet some changes seem more disruptive and these are especially strong than others, and we tend to call them "crises" - and these are especially strong when they imply a mismatch between changing lives and their evolving contexts. How to understand these phenomena? Sociocultural psychology of the lifecourse offers us a theoretical frame to study the mutual making of people's course of life, and their changing social and cultural environment. It has especially examined the role of ruptures and transitions in the course of life, and their role in human development; it has also provided conceptual means to examine the link between social and historical changes, and courses of life. At a theoretical level, it has brought to the fore semiotic, dialogical dynamics by which history and courses of life are related; at a methodological level, it has promoted case studies, whether individual or regional, to make these dynamics visible. In this lecture, I will thus examine a series of recent studies showSociocultural psychology, lifecourse, semiotic, dialogicaling the relation between crises in life, and crises in the context.
