Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 3

Abstract

In this article, I comment on the topic of children’s competences in chronic illness with a careful study conducted in a Polish family of a 9 years old boy diagnosed with ADHD. I suggest to approach the competences as a form of situated practice. When focused on the events and the interactions, it is possible to see how competences are enacted by a joint effort of various actors, including pharmaceutical agent. I can also attend to the instable character of competences and look at it as a field of negotiation and a situated intersubjective achievement mediated by knowledge, technology and materiality. So in this paper, I will look at the case of one family and I will foreground practicalities, materialities and events in order to present the particular take on competencies.<br/><br/>This publication was possible thanks to financial support of the National Science Centre (Narodowe Centrum Nauki, NCN) in the FUGA scheme (grant number: 2015/16/S/HS3/00150)<br/><br/>
