OverviewWhat is a 'we' a collective and how can we use such communal self-knowledge to help people? This book is about collectivity, participation, and subjectivity and about the social theories that may help us understand these matters. It also seeks to learn from the innovative practices and ideas of a community of social/youth workers in Copenhagen between 1987 and 2003, who developed a pedagogy through creating collectives and mobilizing young people as participants. The theoretical and practical traditions are combined in a unique methodology viewing research as a contentious modeling of prototypical practices. Through this dialogue, it develops an original trans-disciplinary critical theory and practice of collective subjectivity for which the ongoing construction and overcoming of common sense, or ideology, is central. It also points to ways of relating discourse with agency, and fertilizing insights from interactionism and ideology theories in a cultural-historical framework. Full Product DetailsAuthor: M.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis is a very engagingly written and erudite cross-disciplinary intervention that not only connects key conceptual-political debates in psychology with the challenges and dilemmas of social work practice, but uses the latter to press for an urgent reorientation of psychological models that could enable better and more engaged forms of practice. The author has a strong and lengthy track record of work in this area, and this text represents a key synthesis and focused consideration of this corpus of work. - Erica Burman Author InformationMORTEN NISSEN (http://mnissen.psy.ku.dk) teaches community psychology in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Fredrikstad, Norway.
