Beside Rupture—Disquiet; Beyond the Other—Alterity

LÌvia Mathias Sim’o

University of S’o Paulo, Brazil

In this commentary, I analyze Zittoun and her collaborators’ idea of symbolic resources as mediators of the representational work demanded by ruptures or discontinuities in the experience of ordinary life (Zittoun, Duveen, Gillespie, Ivinson, & Psaltis, 2003). These remarks are mainly centered on the ideas of disquieting experienceand alterity, approached from the lens of semiotic-cultural constructivism, which seems to allow a more in-depth discussion of the I–world relationship suggested by the authors.

Key Words: alterity • dialogical relationship • disquieting experience • psychological differentiation • subjectivity
