This book is about collectivity, participation, and subjectivity ₆ 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 "Using an innovative approach in critical psychology, this study examines collectivity, participation, and subjectivity, and the social theories that may help us understand these matters"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Social work with youth -- Denmark -- Copenhagen At-risk youth -- Services for -- Denmark -- Copenhagen Social services -- Denmark -- Copenhagen Age groups: adolescents.
