Description

Introduction This paper describes a study using collective biographical memory work (CBMW) as a means of deepening understandings of transition in early childhood education. By moving beyond the boundaries of dominant discourses of transitions, we explore the contradictions therein. As a group of early childhood lecturers (1) we approached transition as an embodied experience that could be explored only through collective interaction with individual memories. This process required us, as both participants and researchers, to see embodied memories of transitory experiences as 'discursive/textual sites' (Davies & Gannon, 2006, p. 14) for extensive mining. The results highlight the subjectification of individuals by self and others through transition. Several considerations for early childhood education practice arise from these, since transition is re-cast as a series of embodied moments over the life span, rather than a set of desirable hurdles that are dictated by well-meaning adults.
