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.

; In this paper, we propose a sociocultural psychology of the lifecourse to examine the extreme case of families living in repeated international mobility. In this case, mobility is motivated by work, which leads to repeated relocation of housing and occupational arrangements across countries. Based on fieldwork, we highlight three challenges of repeated mobility and discuss their implications within sociocultural psychology., En este artículo proponemos una psicología sociocultural del curso de la vida para analizar el caso extremo de familias que viven en movilidad internacional repetida. En este caso, la movilidad está motivada por el trabajo, lo que da lugar a una relocalización reiterada de vivienda y acuerdos ocupacionales a través de distintos países. Basándonos en un trabajo de campo, destacamos tres desafíos que presenta la movilidad repetida y abordamos sus implicaciones en el campo de la psicología sociocultural. - PublicationAccès libreA Sociocultural Approach to Mobile Families: A Case Study(2019)
; ; Cangià, FlaviaThis paper proposes a sociocultural perspective of mobility, of which migration is only one case, with a focus on mobile families. Consistent with mobility studies, sociocultural psychology of the lifecourse proposes to study both the sociocultural conditions of mobility, and the perspective of mobile people. In addition, in this article, we consider interrelated lives in mobility. We discuss the specific case of one family documented as part of a larger research project on repeated geographical mobility, and highlight the specificities of the context, the experiences of each family member, and some of their overlapping spheres of experiences. We thus hope to document the life of such families, but also to provide theoretical directions for the psychological study of mobility. - PublicationAccès libreImagining self in a changing world – an exploration of "Studies of marriage"Subjectivity is what makes a person a unique subject, different from other persons and her social environment, and distanced enough from her experience to be able to reflect upon it and create her own future. In this chapter, I will examine the life of married couples in a changing country. A country groups many individuals, and because of its social and political institutions, it constraints what is possible for people to live or want for themselves. A marriage is a curious alliance between two lives for an unpredictable period of time, which strongly canalizes each of the partners’ lives. However, a person is never reduced to his or her national history, or the story of his or her marriage: even in the tighter frame, a person keeps becoming a unique human being. This chapter is thus a modest attempt to account for the fact that, within a group of six couples married at the same time and living in the same societal conditions, each couple grows differently, and each person becomes absolutely unique… In order to explain the generation of uniqueness in such constraining forces, my proposition is to examine people’s imagination of alternatives, and their personal life philosophies.
