Using self-tracking technologies to manage energy for health and wellbeing
Emotions and Vygotsky’s materialist semiotics: Reply to Oittinen / Las emociones y la semiótica materialista de Vygotski: respuesta a Oittinen
In a recent article on Vygotsky’s reading of Spinoza, Vesa Oittinen argues that Lev Vygotsky took a ‘semantic turn’ late in his career, leading him to dualism and intellectualism. Oittinen characterizes Vygotsky’s interest in sign-meaning as a problematic break from prior interests in material practice. In this paper, I challenge this common view. I argue that Vygotsky has a materialist Marxist theory of sign-meaning, enriched by his engagement w…
Everyday laboratories: Collective speculation and energy futures
Growing public concern surrounding climate change has not always led to better public knowledge of what might constitute effective action, while growing knowledge does not always produce greater concern. We argue that this gap between knowledge and concern is reproduced by prevailing practices for anticipating energy futures – including those associated with top-down modelling and forecasting, and those attempting to imagine or infer alternative …

Years of Evald Ilyenkov: Editorial Introduction
Evald Ilyenkov and the enactive approach
There is a growing interest in Evald Ilyenkov’s work and its significance for contemporary debates. This interest spans several disciplines. One key thread in Ilyenkov’s ideas concerns a perspective on the relation between biology and psychology. In rejecting crude reductionism and individualism, Ilyenkov put forward a view of mind and personhood as emerging from activity and social practice. In his rejection of brain-bound notions of the mind, I…
Can I change mine?» Role Experimentation in Adolescents’ Digitally Mediated Social Emotional Learning
Schools are increasingly focusing on ways to increase adolescents’ self-efficacy in areas of their life from relationships to sleep. Commercially available apps such as mood and sleep trackers may be able to sup-port this process. This paper draws on Rubtsova’s explication of “role experimentation” and on Vygotsky’s reading of Freud to delineate dynamics within adolescent personality development. This theoretical back-ground is utilized in a stud…
