Developmental Science Meets Culture
Both the polyvalent notions of culture and development have been central for building psychological theories. In the present paper, both notions are discussed within the framework of general developmental science and thus from a necessarily systemic perspective. Development is surely culturally informed, yet the process of cultivation is largely unknown until today. One reason for this is the fact that a vast amount of empirical work is conducted…

The Semiotic Regulation of Sexuality from a Microgenetic Perspective
The Hopi in Me
A `voice', the central concept in the theory of the dialogical self (e.g. Hermans & Kempen, 1993), is located neither `in' the person nor `in' culture, but comes into being as a relation between person and culture. An extensive example of everyday life is presented that on a phenomenological level illustrates the formation of a particular voice: `the Hopi in me'. It is the major goal of this paper to analyze this example in sound theoretical term…
Self-Construction in a Nightly Gathering of Culture and Person
Psychology has provided a variety of ways to conceptualize the relation between culture and person. In order to study the 'work of culture' in the person, or, as I prefer to say, the person's 'work on culture', the vantage point for a psychological analysis is necessarily the person's experiential world. According to the cultural psychologist Boesch, the person's experiential world-the fantasmicsystem-is guided by cultural suggestions: myths. Fan…
Feeling as Movement from a Person-Centered Standpoint
According to William Stem, psychological phenomena are only understandable in relation to a living and experiencing person. Stem defines the person as an open system which is related to the external world. However, the question how this relation between person and world can be conceptualized, specifically how person and world co-construct each other, needs further elaboration. In this paper, feeling is understood as the critical mediating process…
A psychological analysis of a psychological phenomenon
It is the task of psychologists to describe and explain psychological phenomena, though the meaning of both description and explanation varies widely. One way to deal with psychological phenomena is to transform them as soon as possible into data (by which is meant quantitative data), which then can be analysed by ready-made methods (by which is meant inferential statistics). An unfortunate result of this politically fortified procedure is that t…
Constructing One’s Self in the City of the Silent
Although contemporary psychology claims that the self is related to one’s social and material world, elaborations of how this process occurs are few. The process is developmental in nature, as it entails the transformation of the present person-world relationship. From this perspective, how one establishes a relation to the grave after the loss of a loved one is a challenging topic for study: The grave is an aspect of the material world which is …
The Cultivated Mind
How Does Autodialogue Work? Miracles of Meaning Maintenance and Circumvention Strategies
In contemporary sociocultural studies, the human mind is often claimed to be dialogic. Precise elaborations of models of dialogicality are rare, however. We present a process model of dialogicality that occurs within a person's self-system (autodialogue) in the context of two kinds of tasks: making sense of ordinary happenings and understanding religious miracles. We start from the assumption that the person is involved in an ongoing self- and wo…
Do You Know Ragnar Rommetveit? On Dialogue and Silence, Poetry and Pedantry, and Cleverness and Wisdom in Psychology (An Interview with Ragnar Rommetveit)
Ragnar Rommetveit is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Oslo, Norway. He received his > PhD in 1954 at the University of Oslo, became Associate Professor in the same year, and has continued as Professor of Psychology D since 1959. He developed a hermeneutically based theory of communication as an alternative to representationalcomputational models of language and mind. In fact, he was the founder of the 'dialogical approach' in…

Does Cultural Psychology Need the Concept of Activity? A Challenge to Ratner's Exposition (1996)
While being productive in its way of counteracting mentalism, Ratner's (1996) activity approach yields many problems that are critically discussed in the present paper. First, activity theorists' legitimate claim that culture is more than interacting minds does not imply a mindless cultural psychology which overlooks the meaning of meaning, intentionality and semiotic mediation. Instead of participating in endless either-or fights, we could rathe…
Challenging Science's Holy Inquisition
The Problem of Emotions from the Perspective of Psychological
Wierzbicka's (1995) arguments about the semantics of emotions, while productive in their way of bringing novel analytic schemata to the issue, still overlook a number of relevant issues. Her static and exclusively structural approach to emotion excludes functional aspects of emotions. Emotions are mainly conceptualized as feelings which themselves are defined by thoughts. Such hyper-cognitivist translation of emotions to the mental schemata may l…
