“…Developing Dynamic Methodologies: Jaan Valsiner's Influence on the Methodological… The collage-making thus enabled me to move away from static representations of women's experiences and toward more dynamic and open narratives that are in line with my phenomenological and conceptual understanding of the identity development processes (see also Märtsin, 2018).…”

“… Stern (1995) and Stern et al (1998) has highlighted the relationship between the identity shift and becoming a mother. Subsequent research has deepened the qualitative characteristics of identity changes of women in the process of becoming mothers ( Laney et al, 2014 , 2015 ); the role of cultural factors in facilitating or not the passage of identity ( Märtsin, 2018 ; Gardner et al, 2020 ); and how the possibility of reorganizing the attachment during the transition to motherhood by mothers with unresolved traumatic past experiences is a key factor for the quality of care provided to the child and also for the type of attachment that he will develop ( Iyengar et al, 2019 ).…”

This article proposes a multidisciplinary work perspective on couples who undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments, with particular attention paid to the treatment of women. The epistemological references underlying a vision of infertility and sterility that respect the psyche–soma unity of the person are illustrated: the biopsychosocial model and the psychoneuroimmunology and psychosomatic contemporary models of health and illness. Based on clinical experience in a private and institutional setting, different steps in the course of treatment are described with the related areas of psychological work: from the search for pregnancy to the choice of adhering to an ART treatment, to conception, up to delivery and beyond. The implications of the work are targeted at a better qualification of psychological interventions in this specific multidisciplinary area.

“…They not only refer to stalled transitions but may also encompass “phenomena whose features are not adequately grasped by the norms of intelligibility” associated with established life events and transitions (Greco and Stenner, 2017, p. 152). For example, liminal hotspots can occur as part of “flows of migration that yield hybrid identities” (Bianchi and Fúsková, 2018, p. 189) or when working mothers struggle to negotiate the norms of intensive mothering (Märtsin, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how consumption linked with life transitions can differ in its potential to bring about ongoing liminality. By examining how consumers can draw on overlapping systems of resources, different ways in which consumers negotiate ongoing liminality following the transition to motherhood are identified. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted an interpretive, exploratory study using in-depth phenomenological interviews with 23 South Asian mothers living in the UK. The sample consisted of mothers at different stages of motherhood. Findings Following life transitions, consumers may encounter liminal hotspots at the intersection of overlapping systems of resources. The findings examine two liminal hotspots with differing potential to produce ongoing liminality. The study shows how consumers navigate these liminal hotspots in different ways, by accepting, rejecting and amalgamating the resources at hand. Research limitations/implications The research sample could have been more diverse; future research could examine liminal hotspots relating to different minority groups and life transitions. Practical implications Marketers need to examine the different ways in which consumers draw on different systems of resources following life transitions. The paper includes implications for how marketers segment, target and market to ethnic minority consumers. Originality/value Due to increasingly fluid social conditions, there are likely to be growing numbers of consumers who experience ongoing liminality following life transitions. A preliminary framework is presented outlining different ways that consumers negotiate ongoing liminality by drawing on overlapping systems of resources, broadening the understanding of the role that marketplace resources play beyond life transitions.
