20.500.12556/RUL-178414 Affective practices in transition(s) – learning as becoming in the transition into retirement Afektivne prakse v prehodu(-ih) – učenje kot postajanje v prehodu v upokojitev This paper explores how affects shape life course transitions and processes of learning and becoming. Life transitions involve shifting self-world relations, changing social positions, and reconfiguring boundaries, which can be understood through transformative learning and theories of becoming. Drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study with 29 older adults experiencing work-related transitions (unemployment, retirement, encore careers), I analyse episodic interviews and photographic diaries spanning over a period of three years using constructivist grounded theory and situational analysis. The findings show that out-of-work transitions evoke a queer, erratic affective attunement, moving from exhaustion to restlessness, and eventually to calm and joy. Affects are inherent to transitions, emerging within transitional assemblages and as properties of practices like repetition, recognition, and novelty. They act as connective tissue between practices and practitioners, co-constituting the entities undergoing transition. Affects also materialise in bodily perceptions and specific transitional temporalities. The study highlights how examining affective practices enriches the understanding of transformative learning and becoming in work-related life transitions. adult education affects work transitions becoming transformative learning afekti delo prehodi postajanje transformativno učenje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-27 13:03:52 2026-01-27 13:03:52 2026-01-28 04:29:13 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 97-115 [št.] 2 Letn. 31 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 374.7 1318-5160 256022019 Wanka.pdf Wanka.pdf 1 09236665E4343EE92BE928886C0AFE8D c3545a1419e9d0b7d84c1d89031ecc4cc58b8fcaa1f5bbe20393d0072b2a26e9 8fc10ded-fb78-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=226257 https://journals.uni-lj.si/AndragoskaSpoznanja/issue/view/1563/1257 1 3b519932-fb78-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=226256 Filozofska fakulteta Andragoška spoznanja 0 0 0
