An occupation is, most simply put, any activity we participate in
that engages (occupies) our attention, interests, and/or
expectations, at any point throughout the life course. This book
offers an emerging and innovative perspective on occupation, based
in the work of American philosopher John Dewey and other
pragmatists, that challenges accepted ideas. Each chapter presents
a lively and multifaceted dialogue on transactional perspectives on
occupation. Scholars from Europe, North America, and Australasia
have written a diverse set of arguments and case studies about
occupation, covering theoretical, methodological and applied issues
relevant to the topic. In addition, contributors make connections
with significant authors from various disciplines that make clearer
the roles of occupation and occupational science across many
cultures and contexts. The transactional perspectives articulated
in this book both implicitly and explicitly suggest that
occupations are forms of activity that create and re-create a
multitude of our relationships with the world. Often taken for
granted by some academic disciplines, occupation is a core element
of human life. This book is a provocative and critical analysis of
the focal concept for occupational therapy and science.
