“…balancing self-gifts and gifts to others; Patca) This view of the undesired self at the two extreme ends of a spectrum of the self, with the desired self in the middle (and equipoise point) of an axis potentially provides an interesting complement to Sullivan's (1953) theorization that the desired self is more vague and abstract than the undesired self and also links with Ogilvie's (1987) statement that the undesired self is a more concrete and unshakeable standard against which one judges one's present level of well-being, than the desired self. This view is also in line with the concept of the ideal of personhood as a centralized equilibriumpreserving structure (Erikson 1959, Geertz 1973, 1979, Greenwald 1980in Sampson 1985.…”

Abstract:Earlier work on identity, self and consumption identified that desired and undesired selves play a significant role in the important global phenomenon of symbolic consumption but neglected to investigate and conceptualize the interrelationship between desired and undesired selves and consumption. Phenomenological interviews with Greek women are used to elicit consumption experiences linked to positive and negative aspects of the self. The interrelationships between desired and undesired selves in consumption were characterized by two patterns (firstly conflicting and secondly compatible desired and undesired selves) that could be linked to consumers' different strategies. Examining these strategies, we extend previous work on the strategies that consumers use to handle identity issues. Finally, we evaluate this theory-building derived from the Greek empirical data within the context of U.S. generated theory about individuals' ways of dealing with self-coherence issues through symbolic consumption; we identify consumers' sense of baffled self and ambivalence in the emotions surrounding consumption.

“…temporary equilibrium of bipolar structures, rather than on unipolar stability of traits. It is in the spirit of recent psychological discussions of the self to concentrate not only on its stability, consistency, and coherence, but also on the possible fertility of its instability, inconsistency, and incoherence (e.g., Hermans & Kempen, 1993;Sampson, 1985;Schwalbe, 1991). Already some decades ago, one of the most prolific writers on the subject, Gordon Allport, argued for the necessity of studying the self in its dynamic and organizational aspects.…”

“…Para isto, é necessário identificar e analisar o uso de significações (representações) coletivas para a construção do próprio sistema de significados durante as vivências, pessoais e coletivas, no contexto sociocultural em que cada qual se insere. De uma perspectiva dialógica indivíduosociedade (Gone, Miler & Rappaport, 1999;Hermans, 1996;Hermans, Kempen & Van Loon 1992;Sampson, 1985), a pessoa vai se constituindo em um processo dinâmico e fluído que prevê a ação conjunta de processos que levam à autoorganização e à inovação, ou desenvolvimento.…”

Resumen AbstractNeste artigo analisamse, desde uma perspectiva sociocultural construtivista, os processos de canalização cultural no desenvolvimento e participação de crianças em organizações criminosas no Rio de Janeiro e em outros contextos de violência armada. A partir dos dados trazidos pelas pesquisas de Dowdney (2003Dowdney ( , 2005 e do Observatório de Favelas (2006), são discutidos o conceito de infância, e os principais fatores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento de crianças em tais contextos, como as estratégias de aliciamento, por parte de adultos, que colaboram para o ingresso, permanência e utilização de crianças em atividades criminosas. São destacados os contextos escolar e laboral, sempre presentes na narrativa dos sujeitos que participaram das pesquisas mencionadas. Concluise que o estudo do tema exige a adoção de uma perspectiva sistêmica que considere desde o conjunto de fatores históricoculturais que deram origem às práticas e à cultura coletiva das comunidades armadas, até questões como autonomia e responsabilidade social dos sujeitos. Propõese, igualmente, que é preciso criar espaços coletivos de expressão e co construção de significados a partir dos quais surgirão novas práticas socioculturais que promovam reflexões pessoais e coletivas, no sentido da promoção do Dowdney (2003Dowdney ( , 2005, and the work of the Slum Monitoring Center (Observatorio de Favelas, 2006 153 From a sociocultural constructivist perspective, this paper analyses the sociocultural processes involved in children's participation in criminal organizations in Rio de Janeiro, and in other violent and armed environments. The analysis is based on the work of
