[pt] Orientado pelos princípios da Linguística Aplicada Crítica (PENNYCOOK, 2015; FABRÍCIO, 2006) e da Prática Exploratória (ALLWRIGHT; HANKS, 2009; MILLER, 2013), o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as narrativas de experiências pessoais e profissionais (LABOV; WALETZKY, 1967; LABOV, 1972) contadas por Josiele, estudante de licenciatura bilíngue (Português-Inglês) de uma universidade privada localizada na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro. Com dados gerados em quatro conversas reflexivas, discutimos, dentre outros tópicos, sobre partes da trajetória formativa da participante ligadas às suas vivências no estágio supervisionado, no PIBID/Inglês, no curso de línguas onde leciona, especialmente seus medos e frustrações. Dentro de uma visão qualitativa e interpretativa de pesquisa (DENZIN; LINCOLN, 2006), a análise é conduzida de acordo com as perspectivas da Análise da Narrativa (BRUNER, 2004; BASTOS, 2005) e do Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005). Dessa forma, busco: (i) investigar como as narrativas elaboradas por Josiele são (co)construídas na interação, (ii) refletir criticamente sobre os tópicos que delas emergem, (iii) examinar as marcas discursivas avaliativas e como elas contribuem discursivamente para a (co)construção de identidades (MOITA LOPES, 2003). Em meio a diferentes experiências, o estudo contribuiu para a geração de entendimentos a respeito do processo situado nesta pesquisa de ser e de tornar-se professor e os resultados indicam que as nossas interações nos possibilitaram (i) refletir criticamente sobre o tipo de aluna/profissional que Josiele vem sendo, bem como (ii) compartilhar reclamações, propostas pedagógicas, momentos de êxito e episódios de fracasso que, muitas vezes, foram intensificados e ampliados pelo nosso discurso avaliativo de (co)narradores. / [en] Aligned with the principles of Critical Applied Linguistics (PENNYCOOK, 2015; FABRÍCIO, 2006) and of Exploratory Practice (ALLWRIGHT; HANKS, 2009; MILLER, 2013), the present study aims to analyze the narratives of personal and professional experiences (LABOV; WALETZKY, 1967; LABOV, 1972) told by Josiele, a Portuguese-English undergraduate student of a private university located in the south zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. With data generated in four reflective conversations, we take into consideration, among other topics, parts of Josiele s formative trajectory linked to her experiences in the supervised teaching practice, in the PIBID/English Project, in the language course where she teaches, especially her fears and frustrations. Within a qualitative and interpretative view of research (DENZIN, LINCOLN, 2006), the analysis is conducted according to the perspectives of Narrative Analysis (BRUNER, 2004; BASTOS, 2005) and of Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005). Thus, I seek to: (i) investigate how the narratives told by Josiele are (co)constructed throughout the interaction, (ii) reflect critically on the topics emerging from them, (iii) examine the evaluative marks and how they contribute discursively to the (co)construction of identities (MOITA LOPES, 2003). Amongst different experiences, the study contributed to the generation of understandings about the process situated in this research of becoming and of being a teacher and the results indicate that our interactions have enabled us to (i) reflect critically on the type of student/professional Josiele is becoming, as well as (ii) to share complaints, pedagogical proposals, moments of success and episodes of failure which were, on many occasions, intensified and expanded by our evaluative discourse as (co)narrators.

The purpose of this study is to understand which challenges women politicians on Gotland face and how they perceive themselves in their political work. We aim to highlight existing gender norms and how these translate into challenges within an island setting. This research further highlights the identity work women politicians at a local level engage in. The theoretical frameworks used include feminist political theory, feminist institutionalism, identity, and political identity. The empirical data was gathered through 13 semi-structured interviews with local women politicians on Gotland. Taking on a feminist approach, our study underscores and engages with the complexity of the stories, emotions, and experiences of our participants. Our findings underline several challenges women politicians face, including Part of a quota?, Motherhood and Double standards. Our findings also stress that the notion of femininity, such as motherhood and emotionality, need to be the base for restructuring and reframing current political systems to allow for true gender equality. Additionally, our findings reveal three identity facets, (1) The Holistic Caretaker, (2) The Freedom Fighter, and (3) The Game Player, which women politicians take on depending on the political context and while aiming to navigate through the political landscape. Lastly, we have identified the paradox Women vs Women. Our study sheds light on the intertwined and complex nature of gender related challenges in local politics and reveals the paradoxical nature of women’s attempt to move up the political staircase, while simultaneously trying to challenge pre-existing systemic structures.

Depuis 1981, les jeunes du primaire et secondaire sont sensibilisés à la danse par des enseignants qui l’offrent au sein du curriculum de la formation générale des jeunes. Les enseignants de la danse en milieu scolaire (EDMS) du Québec, bénéficient d’une formation universitaire à la fois disciplinaire, pédagogique et pratique qui développe leurs compétences tant artistiques que professionnelles. Au sein de cette formation initiale, commence le développement de l’identité professionnelle de l’enseignant (Lessard et Tardif, 2003) qui continue à se développer durant toute la carrière. Toutefois, la construction identitaire de l’EDMS n’a pas fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie car l’enseignement de la danse en milieu scolaire est une profession relativement nouvelle, non-traditionnelle et méconnue. Ainsi, dans le cadre d’une approche sociologique constructiviste, nous nous penchons sur les tensions et stratégies identitaires inhérentes aux trajectoires biographiques et aux représentations professionnelles de praticiens dans le but de mieux connaître qui ils sont. Nous cherchons à comprendre le sens qu’ils donnent, dans leur construction identitaire, à leur parcours de formation, à leur travail, à leurs relations dans le travail, aux savoirs, et aux institutions en élaborant les rapports qu’ils entretiennent avec autrui ainsi que la perception de leurs rôles, statuts et fonctions artistiques et éducatifs. Un cadre conceptuel nous a permis de faire un portrait sociologique des sphères de négociations identitaires inhérentes à la construction de l’identité professionnelle grâce à l’analyse de la double transaction biographique et relationnelle, un concept de Dubar (1991). Les données de cette étude, recueillies auprès de dix-huit EDMS, proviennent d’un questionnaire sociodémographique ainsi que d’un questionnaire et d’entretiens sur leurs représentations professionnelles, leurs héritages et sur les incidents critiques de leurs trajectoires biographiques. L’analyse inductive des données par l’approche de théorisation ancrée, vérifiée par quinze participantes, a permis de dégager six sphères internes et externes de négociations identitaires communes à la construction de l’identité professionnelle d’EDMS : Devenir, Se réaliser, Se projeter, Faire sa place, Rencontrer l’autre et Agir. Ces sphères se présentent comme des espaces d’identification dans lesquelles l’EDMS construit son identité professionnelle en se positionnant par rapport aux identités héritées, acquises, prescrites, réelles et projetées. Cependant, les écarts entre les logiques opposées, les postures complémentaires et les rôles à jouer pour soi et pour autrui dans la pratique peuvent engendrer des tensions identitaires intrasubjectives et intersubjectives que nous avons identifiées. Pour réduire les écarts entre les représentations polaires et pour apaiser les zones d’incertitudes identitaires, l’EDMS mobilise des stratégies temporelles et spatiales. Neuf ont été relevées: conversion, conciliation, différenciation, implication multiple, maintien identitaire, défense, promotion, alternance des rôles et formation continue. Cette étude expose des façons d’EDMS de se définir pour soi et pour autrui qui permettent d’accéder aux référents identitaires des sphères par des exemples concrets issus des verbalisations de participantes sur le terrain. L’interprétation de nos résultats nous conduit à décrire six profils identitaires provisoires. Nos résultats offrent des retombées possibles en formation initiale et continue. / Since 1981, primary and secondary school students have been sensitized to dance education by dance teachers who offer the discipline within the curriculum. The dance teachers in the school environment (DTSE) of Quebec benefit from a university formation which is at once disciplinary, pedagogical and practical and which develops their artistic as well as professional competencies. It is within this initial formation that the development of the professional identity of the teacher begins (Lessard et Tardif, 2003) and continues to develop throughout their entire career. Nevertheless, the identity construction of the DTSE has not been made the subject of a thorough study, since the teaching of dance in the school environment is a relatively new, non-traditional and unfamiliar profession. Thus, within the framework of a sociological constructivist approach, we study the tensions and identity strategies inherent in the biographical trajectories as well as in the professional representations of the DTSE with the aim of knowing better who they are. We seek to understand the meaning which they give, in their identity construction, to their formative path, to their work, to their relations in work, to knowledge, and to institutions by elaborating the relations maintained with others, and their perceptions of their artistic and educational roles, status and functions. A conceptual framework enabled us to make a sociological portrait of the spheres of identity negotiations inherent in the construction of their professional identity thanks to the analysis of the double biographical and relational transaction, a concept of Dubar (1991). The data collected from eighteen DTSE was generated from a socio-demographic questionnaire as well as from a questionnaire and interviews on their professional representations, their backgrounds and on the turning points of their biographical trajectories. The inductive analysis of the data, using the grounded theory approach, was verified by fifteen participants, and reveals six internal and external spheres of identity negotiation common to the identity construction of the DTSE: To become, To achieve, To project oneself, To make one’s place, To encounter the other and To act. These spheres represent identification fields within which the identity construction process of the DTSE develops in relation to the various identities inherited, acquired, prescribed, real, and projected. However the intervals between the opposing logics, the complementary postures and the roles to be played in practice for oneself and for others could provoke intrasubjective and intersubjective identity tensions which we have identified. In order to reduce the intervals between the polar representations and to alleviate the zones of identity uncertainties, the DTSE employs certain temporal and spatial strategies. We have identified nine such strategies: Conversion, conciliation, differentiation, multiple implication, identity preservation, defence, promotion, alternation of roles, and continuing education. This study exposes DTSE manners of defining oneself for oneself and for others which give access to the identity referents of the various spheres by concrete examples resulting from the verbalisations of participants in the field. Our interpretation of the results conducts us to describe six provisional identity profiles. Our results offer possible consequences in initial and continuing formation.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify, describe and develop the understanding of what aspects at work are important for individuals' identity construction. In this understanding-oriented study the empirical data consists of three different groups: middle managers, cultural workers and “Airis-managers”. I have interpreted and analysed the 75 respondents’ stories, and in their experiences found similar patterns. My conclusion is that there are different dimensions at work that may affect the identity construction. My research question: What is it about work that is experienced as important for individuals’ identity construction? can be answered with the five different identity-related dimensions that I have identified: the enabling dimension, the legitimating dimension, the strengthening dimension, the touching dimension and the constraining dimension. All these dimensions, except the constraining dimension, contribute positively to identity construction. The constraining dimension can be compensated if the other positively confirming dimensions dominate. The identity construction for each individual appears different depending on what dimensions he/she experiences. That is why work’s impacts on the individual's identity construction vary. In order to illustrate the developed typology of identity-related dimensions, I created a model that aims to facilitate understanding of what aspects at work that may be important for the personal identity. When raising awareness of these dimensions, efforts to strengthen the most important dimensions can be made. Through their leadership and ways of organizing work, managers may influence their employees’ opportunities to construct and strengthen their identity. Much of the identity research discusses the more conscious identity work. In my third study my empirical data consists of managers’ who have brought artists into their organizations, i.e. conducted an artistic intervention called Airis. My interpretation is that implementing an artistic intervention can be considered as a way to challenge and develop the managers’ identity and be a part of their identity work. This thesis deals with “identity at work” (to reconnect to the title). People seldom discuss “identity construction” but that does not mean that identity issues are unimportant. On the contrary, people often talk about their jobs and their work experiences. What this "talk" really means is what this thesis highlights: Identity is constructed and confirmed at work, especially when others are told about the work-related experiences.

[pt] O objetivo do estudo consiste em analisar construções identitárias e posicionamentos de professores brasileiros e ingleses, de uma instituição escolar bilíngue do Rio de Janeiro, face ao processo de implementação de um novo currículo com uma proposta de educação internacional. O posicionamento teórico é de ordem sociocultural e interacional, articulando a perspectiva dos entre-lugares, do hibridismo e da transdiferença nos espaços interculturais, com a teoria do posicionamento, face e polidez, indexais, accounts e metáforas, na sinalização de construções de entre-lugar. A metodologia da pesquisa é de ordem qualitativa e interpretativa, com entrevista de pesquisa de natureza etnometodológica. O foco da análise baseia-se na configuração e reconfiguração de identidades de professor na ordem institucional; nas construções de identidades de ordem sociocultural; nos posicionamentos sobre o novo currículo internacional. Os resultados indicam como accounts sinalizam construções identitárias de brasileiros e ingleses nas relações entre professores e escola, o eu e o outro, e o internacionalismo no novo currículo. A metáfora é utilizada por ambos os grupos, em posicionamentos e construções identitárias, enquanto estratégia de construção de si e do outro. Nos posicionamentos sobre a internacionalização do novo currículo, os ingleses tendem a considerar o fortalecimento da cultura local, enquanto os brasileiros apontam para um olhar dividido, entre a cultura local e a abertura de horizontes com a internacionalização. A pesquisa busca contribuir para a discussão da construção de um terceiro lugar nas questões interculturais a partir da implementação de um novo currículo na escola internacional. / [en] The objective of this research is to analyse the construction of identities and the positionings of Brazilian and English teachers in a bilingual school in Rio de Janeiro, during the implementation of a curriculum with an international perspective. Based on a sociocultural and interactional approach, this research attempts to articulate the discussion about in-betweeness, hibridity and transdifference in an intercultural context, including the positioning theory, studies of face and politeness along with studies about indexicality, accounts and metaphors contributing to the construction of in-between places. The methodology of this research is based on qualitative and interpretative approaches, following the etnomethodology for interviews. The data analysis focuses on the (re)configuration of professional identities; the construction of sociocultural identities and the positionings towards the new international curriculum. The results highlight the use of accounts, as well as metaphors, in the construction of Brazilian and English identities in relation to their selves and that of others as well as to the debate about internationalism. With regards to the internationalism debate, the English teachers are more inclined to assume that this discussion tends to legitimate the local culture, whilst the Brazilian teachers take a more dubious perspective, torn between the recognition of the local culture and embracing the international view. The research aspires to contribute to the discussion of the existence of a third-place in relation to interculturalism as a result of the implementation of a new curriculum in an international school.
