An Invitation to Cultural Psychology looks at the everyday life
worlds of human beings through the lens of a new synthetic perspective
in cultural psychology – that of semiotic dynamics. Based on
historical work from many different fields in the social and
behavioural sciences, and the humanities too, this perspective applied
to cultural psychology suggests that human beings are constantly
creating, maintaining and abandoning hierarchies of meanings within
all cultural contexts they experience. It’s a perspective that leans
heavily on the work of the great French philosopher, Henri Bergson,
only now being realised as a core basis for human cultural living.
Jaan Valsiner is the founding editor of the major journal in the
field, Culture & Psychology, and Editor of the Oxford Handbook of
Culture and Psychology. He is the first Niels Bohr Professor of
Cultural Psychology at Aalborg University in Denmark, where he leads
Europe′s first Research Centre on Cultural Psychology.
