Transition is analyzed as a field of self-movements and transitionalfield-of-the-abject (Hermans and Hermans- Konopka 2010) where new self-positions are co-constructed around oneself and the relationship with ‘the other’ through sharing meanings. The article describes processes of abandoning self-positions, which entail spatial and temporal movements, opening up possibilities to build a conception towards a communal self. Transition is discussed in terms of the indeterminacy of expanding horizons (Boulanger International Journal for Dialogical Science, 10(2), 9–33, 2017a, International Journal for Dialogical Science, 10(2), 117–130, 2017b) where uncertainty and semiotic tension are the drives for life experience and self to evolve. The phenomenon defined as tensegrity (Marsico and Tateo Integrative Psychological Behavior, 51, 536–556, 2017) enables the process towards new meanings of self and the other. The article elaborates on the life-course addressing the dynamics of actual self-regulation and transgenerational resources as crossing axes (Canevaro 1999).17 p.enTransitionTransgenerationIndeterminacyParentingCouplesArticle
