Popis: | This paper describes the theoretical basis and development of a moment-movement research methodology, based on an integration of critical psychological practice research and critical ethnographic social practice theory. The paper illustrates how the mo(ve)ment methodology was applied in a study of major identity formation and gang exit processes, done together with a former biker gang member, Martin, becoming a research apprentice and more academically reflective, while moving beyond gang involvement.The paper empirically exemplifies the mo(ve)ment methodology presenting and analyzing one experienced moment called “Sp(l)itting on the street”. It is a moment which captures multiple and double feelings of conflictual concerns, frustrations, anger, a new feeling of insecurity of masculinity, as well as the feeling of engagement and deep meaningfulness, when becoming a more reflective academic. These various conflictual feelings, also includes a sense of being split into conflicting identities. The paper analyzes how such conflictual feelings also can be productive, and produce movements and change in identity formation through our social practice research analysis and joint venture.The analyzed moment is placed and related to the broader conflictual struggles and processes (we call this “movements”), which includes both continuity and change in Martin’s conduct of everyday life, when moving in and across several action contexts and practice communities.By collectively reflecting moments over time as part of our social practice research, we both study the processes of moving beyond gang involvement, and together we produce expanded agency and identity formation at the same time. We hereby develop new methodologies, while researching Martin’s movements from a high ranking biker gang member towards becoming more of a legitimate member of academia. Mo(ve)ment-methodology- Identity formation moving beyond gang involvementAbstract This paper describes the theoretical basis for and development of a moment-movement research methodology, based on the integration of critical psychological practice research and critical ethnographic social practice theory. Central theoretical conceptualizations, such as human agency, life conditions and identity formation, are discussed in relation to criminological theories of gang desistance. The paper illustrates how the mo(ve)ment methodology was applied in a study of comprehensive processes of identity (re)formation and gang exit processes. This study was conducted with Martin, a former member of a biker gang, as he became a research apprentice and more academically reflective, while moving beyond gang involvement. The paper presents and analyzes a single experienced moment, referred to as “Sp(l)itting on the street”, as an empirical example of the mo(ve)ment methodology. This is a moment that captures Martin’s complex and ambiguous feelings of conflictual concerns, frustration, anger, and a new feeling of insecurity in his masculinity, as well as engagement and a sense of deep meaningfulness as he becomes a more reflective academic. All of these conflicting feelings also give a sense of being split into conflicting identities. The paper analyzes how such conflictual feelings can also be productive, producing movements and changes in identity formation, through our social practice research analysis and joint venture. The analyzed moment is positioned within and related to broader conflictual struggles and processes (we call these “movements”), which include both continuity and change in Martin’s conduct of everyday life as he moves in and across several action contexts and practice communities.By collectively reflecting on moments over time as part of our social practice research, we study the processes of moving beyond gang involvement; together, we produce expanded agency and identity formation at the same time. While we research Martin’s movements from a position as a high–ranking member of a biker gang towards becoming a more legitimate member of academia, we simultaneously develop new methodologies. |
