The “&” has emerged. Seeking “culture” and “psychology” for Culture & Psychology
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Culture & Psychology, the author retrospectively evaluates the journal’s metatheoretical and theoretical developmental trajectories. For this purpose, seven editorials were treated as the primary texts in the foreground as evaluative reflections of the knowledge field themselves. And in the background, the author’s own readership and conceptualizations inevitably provided the additional intellectual mate…
Selfing as, with , and without othering: Dialogical (im)possibilities with Dialogical Self Theory
This essay critically reflects on the hegemonic conceptions of the self and its instrumentalization in modern psychology to fit modern Western society in general. Not only that various metaphysical, metatheoretical, theoretical and methodological commitments are seen as serious obstacles to fulfil the apparent epistemological desire for a paradigmatic shift towards a dynamic, relational and pluralist worldview as illustrated by Dialogical Self Th…
Re(con)figuring Psychoanalysis
Leading international scholars present novel dialogues between different psychoanalytic orientations as well as between the particularities of diverse socio-cultural and historical contexts in order t
On the Absence of a Presence/The Presence of an Absence: Psychoanalysis in the Turkish Context

I shall treat the belated entry of psychoanalysis as a sign of Turkey's somewhat unique modernization experi…

Psychological science in cultural context
For the psychological sciences cultural processes have traditionally served as but a single entry into a considerable list of phenomena under study. Until recent years, such study has not been richly realized. There are many reasons for the secondary role of a culturally focused psychology. Most prominently, there are two chief ways in which culture figures in the logic of psychological science, and neither of these favors a major professional in…
An Interview with K.J. Gergen (Part 11) Culture and Psychology in Postmodernism: A Necessary Dialog
Discussion of critical issues of postmodernism in psychology between Kenneth J. Gergen and Aydan Gulerce revealed a multitude of challenging questions that neither the intellectual tendency labeled 'postmodernism' nor contemporary psychology have managed to answer (see Culture & Psychology 1(1), 147-159). In this continuation of the invesfigation into ideas, lines for a possible new dialog are charted out
An Interview with K. J. Gergen (Part I) Culture and Self in Postmodern Psychology: Dialogue in Trouble
Background Kenneth J. Gergen, a prominent name in psychology, has provided extensive commentaries on contemporary transformations in western cultural life, the basis of these changes in technological innovation, and the implications for our conceptions of self and the practices of human science more recently (Gergen, 1991, 1992, 1994). As a psychologist with interests in theory of knowledge, cultural variation and human change, it seemed importan…
