Lukas Kammerlander studied \u2018Social Work\u2019 (B.A.) at the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen and \u2018Research and development in social pedagogy\/social work\u2019 (M.A.) at the Eberhard-Karls-Universit\u00e4t T\u00fcbingen. During his studies he worked as a social worker offering pedagogical guidance to volunteers in their voluntary service and as managing director (parental leave representation) of the environmental youth organisation BUNDjugend Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. Also, he volunteered and was member of the board of the environmental NGOs BUND Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and BUNDjugend Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. In his dissertation project, Lukas Kammerlander focusses self-chosen downshifting or complete abandonment of paid work performed by men* using autobiographical narrative interviews and the interpretation method of biographical case reconstruction. As part of the research program of Doing Transitions his project aims to explore the described transition and masculinity constructions on an individual level but also its interrelatedness with discourses on masculinity on a societal level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dissertation project aims to explore\u00a0self-chosen downshifting or complete abandonment of paid work performed by men*. Therefore, data from autobiographical narrative interviews are approached with the means of the method of biographical case reconstruction by Gabriele Rosenthal, focussing biographical geneses and effects of this transition as well as constructions of masculinity performed by the biographers. Thus, the project is linked to the fields of transition studies and critical masculinity studies. The problematisation of yet persisting gendered inequalities underlines the relevance of the subject as well as recent discourses linking masculinities to current global social and ecological crises. At the same time, notions of masculinity got in motion in the post-fordist transformations of work society. Although paid \u2018productive\u2019 work is still key to masculinity ideals, this strong connection remains no longer unquestioned. New masculinity discourses (e.g. active fatherhood, caring masculinities) evolve, hitherto contributing only little changes to hegemonic masculinity constructions. Thus, the performance of downshifting or abandonment of paid work is potentially subversive and certainly colliding with common notions of masculinity. By focussing this transition through biographical case reconstruction, new forms of \u2018alternative masculinities\u2019 might become visible.\u00a0In the research program of Doing Transitions the project aims to explore the described transition on an individual level but also its interrelatedness with discourses on masculinity on a societal level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
