Identity Under Pressure : Over-Indebtedness in the Middle Class, Paperback / softback Book

Identity Under Pressure : Over-Indebtedness in the Middle Class Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The authors examine identity strategies of middle-class couples who come under pressure of over-indebtedness.

Based on biographical interviews collected in a qualitative panel study in three waves, they explore the question of how identity is worked on in the couple and how identity changes when social decline threatens.

The theory-generating analysis brings out patterns of coping with over-indebtedness and self-placement described along the notions of 'continuity', 'modification' and 'moratorium'.

Similarly, they explore how lifeworlds are constructed in and with over-indebtedness as a couple. This book is a translation of an original German edition.

The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com).

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
