A discussion of positioning theory: An interview with Michael Bamberg and Luk Van Langenhove
Since 2015 a Positioning Theory conference has been held biannually in either Europe or the US. These conferences have become a significant event for scholars and practitioners interested in the development and application of PT providing thereby a platform for discussing the latest research, sharing insights, and fostering collaborations. In the fourth edition of the conference, organised in Finland in July 2024, Professor Van Langenhove and Pro…
Situated Psychology: A Sketch
This article—and this special issue—focuses on situated psychology. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief theoretical outline of what situated psychology is. If the reader wonders why they are not immediately familiar with the term ‘situated psychology,’ there is a simple explanation: it is a new concept (except for Phillip Cushman’s argument that psychology should be “historically situated” (Cushman, 1990). However, despite the novel…

Situated psychology as triangulated. Understanding psychological processes as relations between subjectivity, intersubjectivity and objectivity
This article will attempt to present a framework for understanding situated psychology as involving a dynamic relationship between the subjective, intersubjective, and the objective. Explorations of this relationship within psychology have often highlighted one side at the expense of the others. Here it will be argued, theoretically, that the three sides constitute a dynamic and equal relation working as a background for any psychologically relev…
Mindfulness, Buddhist Modernity and Cultural Psychology
I will in this article use Fircks as a point of departure for trying to understand the complexities involved in the use of the concept of mindfulness. As will be seen, mindfulness can be traced to a decoupling from a religious background and subsequent appropriation within several Western contexts. This will then be used for a discussion of how to deal with the historicity of the phenomena studied within cultural psychology. Here two reminders wi…
Revisiting the Experience Machine: A Philosophical Note on the Limits of Experience Design
This study explores the notion of experience, as used in “experience design,” based on American philosopher Robert Nozick's idea of an experience machine and Marc Hassenzahl's notion of experience design. Hassenzahl epitomizes experience as pleasure or fulfillment of needs—an idea that Nozick challenges as he claims that the world people engage with matters in a way that is not reducible to pleasure alone. Nozick's observation, I argue, indicates…

Lifespan Development Seen through Niche Construction Theory
I will here pick up on a suggestion made by Greve (2023) in this journal, namely that a proper understanding of lifespan development means defending a non-reductionist psychology taking biological processes seriously, but without reducing psychology to physiology. I will here suggest and argue for the use of niche construction theory as a way of providing a psychological theoretical perspective on lifespan development broad enough to contain both…

Valuing Nature: Connecting Eco-Economy and the Capability Approach
This article analyses Kitchen and Marsden's eco-economy by asking whether it manages to dissolve the untenable dualism of facts and values associated with the positivistic distinction between normative and positive economy. The analysis shows that a tension still exists within eco-economy between accepting normative considerations and operating with certain welfare-economic assumptions not embracing the entanglement between facts and values. This…
Why do we care about post‐humanism? a critical note
What is disclosed in the questioning of the human being in post-humanism? Addressing this question in congruence with Heidegger's questioning of being in Being and Time, we end up with two discoveries: first, that the characteristic of Dasein, as the being of the questioning, already carries the same implications as the post-human figure, and second, that questioning in this sense is indicative of the effort of realizing a new scientific space fo…
