„Ich würde jetzt trotzdem nicht sagen: Ich mache jetzt Berufsschullehramt“ – ein kulturanalytischer Zugang zur Wirkmächtigkeit historischer Differenzordnungen in Berufs- und Studienwahlprozessen

Abstract

The paper outlines a cultural-analytical approach to the phenomenon of the shortage of teachers in industrial and technical vocational schools. It outlines firstly the theoretical perspective on occupational choices as a process of subjectification in the context of professional cultures that are seen as constitutively interwoven with social differences. The paper then uses empirical data from online group discussions (where students talk about the possibility of studying vocational teacher education) to demonstrate exemplarily how the outlined analytical focus leads to insides into discursive practices of differentiations that (re)produce non-/ fitting relations between the self and the anticipated profession. It further investigates how these discursive practices of differentiations are embedded in historical cultures of the professions interconnected with gender orders and other orders of social difference, that (re)emerge, repeat and shift, but still act as cultural barriers in the access to the profession.
