| Abstract | In the contemporary context of new socio-cultural c hanges, families deal with the constant confrontation between the family culture and the br oader social culture. When dealing with the tension between permanence and change, family m embers experience reconfigurations in family dynamics and interpersonal relationships tha t may involve disruption and developmental transitions. To understand the develo pmental trajectory of mothers when their children transits to adulthood, this study aims to investigate the development process of mother Self, marked by continuities and ruptures th at involve changes in the meanings of motherhood, sociocultural practices and self. Based on the Cultural Psychology of semiotics orientation and narrative approaches, we start from the idea that the experiences and life stories are inextricably linked in a continuous pro duction of meanings and senses that, over the course of life, culminate in a synthesis: the S elf . When you also consider that the narratives reveal the dialogues between the individ ual and culture, privilege the narrative thread in search of connections between the intrasu bjetiva dynamic self-organizing semiotics of Self (microgenetic level) and development along the path of life (ontogenetic level). For this, we rely also on concepts such as rupture, tra nsition, ambivalence and Dialogical Self (DS) to understand how semiotic and dialogic proces ses enable the Self reconstructions of mothers in their positions, meanings of motherhood an social practices. In this case study, based on the narratives of mothers, we see how the dev lopment process of the mother at this stage of major transitions in the cycle of family i s intertwined with the development of children. The constructions of children (greater au tonomy, independence, leaving home, building new family etc) generate tensions in mothe rs Self, involving ambivalence between the familiar and the new, between past and future, p ovocative disruptions and changes. In this transition phase the family tensions are more l cated in the realm of interpersonal relationships and family practices, requiring mothe rs Self reconfigurations to adapt to changes in the family context in which the maternal role is no longer as necessary as it has once. Remarkable, also, other results: mothers have multi ple meanings of motherhood because of the diversity and uniqueness of experiences, althou g the presence of some signs approaching canonical patterns; reconfigurations in I-positions were perceived, position of dominance with I-position-woman in relation to the I-position-moth er; there are indications that the reflective processes, given the tensions and ambivalences expe ri nc d during this transition phase, can foster new meanings and practices linked to more ex periences natural life and less framed in dominant models of culture. We discuss the existenc e of forces between the positions of Selves involved in dialogic processes of Self, sugg esting the existence of a hierarchy of Ipositions that needs to be further investigated. |
