Subjectivation à deux - Paare als Kollektivsubjekt

Subjectivation has become central in the field of social, cultural and educational studies to examine the effects of power on the individual. However, there is a lack of theorizing subjectivation concerning not only individuals, but collectives. In this article the concept of the ‚couple‘ regarding subjectivation will be examined. Furthermore, an empirical approach will be presented, exemplified by a study on dual employed couples with a child categorized as disabled. The findings highlight the interdependencies and contradictions that arise in the subjectivation of two individuals addressed as a couple.
