them. I also theorize that age‐related changes follow from subjective capacities<br />

to situate events in time. One sort of awareness draws upon ideations of bigger<br />

and smaller than me, of younger and older than me, and of before and after me.<br />

Another sort of awareness concerns social historical changes. Both types of<br />

awareness allow people to position themselves in time – to move by or to move<br />

their times.” (Haavind 2004:8).<br />

Tid, tænkt her gennem Haavinds tilbud om et udviklingspsykologisk perspektiv, der<br />

medtænker sociokulturelle historiske formationer og forandringer (og derigennem<br />

eksempelvis et takken nej til import af ’biologisk eller ’evolutionshistorisk’ tidsregning)<br />

bliver så til 1) et mix af historisk konkrete diskurser om barndom og ungdom og subjek‐<br />

tive positioneringer heri – som konkretiseres videre ud i 2) størrelseskategorier og<br />

størrelsespositioneringer: Større og mindre end mig, yngre og ældre end mig, før og<br />

efter mig.<br />

Kategori og positioneringsarbejdet bliver centralt i Haavinds tilbud om<br />

udviklingsforståelse, hvor udvikling altså ikke er en automatik, som bestemmes af den<br />

lineære tid/alder, man kan aflæse på subjektet. Når man er i gang med at tænke i ’in‐<br />

tersektende’ kategorier er det nærliggende at få øje på tiden som en kategori – ek‐<br />

sempelvis som kategorierne ’barn’ ’ung’ og få vigtige analysemuligheder gennem at<br />

trække på disse kategorier (se også Frosh, Phoenix and Pattman 2002, Staunæs 2004).<br />

Tidligere i kapitlet præsenterede jeg en agens/forandringsfigur (i socialpsykologisk<br />

poststrukturalistisk arbejde), som var inspireret af Butlers submission/mastery dyna‐<br />

mik. Her bliver temporalitet et implicit i en forandringslogik. Men Butler har temporali‐<br />

tet med som en eksplicit faktor, når hun skriver, at:<br />

“[..] construction is neither a single act nor a causal process initiated by a subject<br />

and culminating in a set of fixed effects. Construction not only takes place in<br />

time, but is itself a temporal process which operates through the reiteration of<br />

norms; sex is both produced and destabilized in the course of this reiteration. As<br />

a sedimented effect of a reiterative or ritual practice, sex acquires its naturalized<br />

effect, and, yet, it is also by virtue of this reiteration that gaps and fissures are<br />

opened up as the constitutive instabilities in such constructions, as that which es‐<br />

capes or exceeds the norm, as that which cannot be wholly defined or fixed by the<br />

repetitive labour of that norm. This instability is the deconstituting possibility in<br />

the very process of repetition, the power that undoes the very effects by which<br />

‘sex’ is stabilized, the possibility to put the consolidation of the norms of ‘sex’<br />

into a potentially productive crisis.” (Butler 1993:10 kursivering tilføjet).<br />
