ABSTRACT

Funds of identity is a recent entrant to the field of identity theories. Located within sociocultural theory, the concept developed from the notion of funds of knowledge to consider all life experiences that collectively shape identity development. It draws attention to the relationships, settings, experiences, and cultural tools and symbols that are personally meaningful to people, and ways these mediate engagement with identity development. I make two contributions to advancing funds of identity theory. First, I provide empirical evidence with respect to a very young child’s engagement with funds of identity. I report findings related to Zoe, a child who participated with her family in a qualitative project on the interests of children aged from birth-to-five years old in Auckland, New Zealand. Second, I extend funds of identity theory through arguing that agency and imagination ought to be explicit concepts in this theory given that it foregrounds the capacity for humans to act on and imagine their worlds. Interest, agency, imagination and identity are concepts that can promote the dynamic view of development Vygotsky championed, and help to explain the way ongoing sociocultural mediation determines developmental possibilities and learning trajectories.

利益、能动性和想象力在同一理论基础中的地位

摘要

身份基金是身份理论领域的新成员。该概念位于社会文化理论中,从知识基金的概念发展而来,考虑共同塑造身份发展的所有生活经历。它提请注意对人们具有个人意义的关系、环境、经验以及文化工具和符号,以及这些中介与身份发展的参与方式。我为推进身份理论基金做出了两项贡献。首先,我提供了关于非常年幼的孩子参与身份基金的经验证据。我报告了与 Zoe 相关的调查结果,Zoe 是一个孩子,她与家人一起参与了一项关于新西兰奥克兰 5 岁至 5 岁儿童兴趣的定性项目。第二,我通过论证代理和想象力应该是这个理论中明确的概念来扩展身份理论的资金,因为它突出了人类对他们的世界采取行动和想象的能力。兴趣、能动性、想象力和身份是可以促进维果茨基倡导的动态发展观的概念,并有助于解释正在进行的社会文化中介决定发展可能性和学习轨迹的方式。
