Body, Affect, and Meaning Making in the Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Semiodynamic Microgenetic Analysis
Qualitative health research has examined how people make meaning in the context of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) diagnoses, often focusing on how patients describe and reflect upon their current health situation. However, meaning is frequently treated as something enclosed within signs, with limited attention to how it emerges dynamically through lived, bodily processes. Addressing these two gaps, this article explores how affect and bodily exp…

The oncological process involves multiple changes that must be navigated throughout the illness. This study explores how María constructs meaning in her relationship with herself and her environment in response to the ruptures and transitions emerging in the early stages of breast cancer. From the moment of diagnosis, María’s experience shifted from perceiving cancer as an abstract possibility to confronting it as a concrete reality filled with p…
Towards a Semiotic Cultural Clinical Psychology: Contributions for the Discussion
This article outlines the basic premises of the proposal for a semiotic cultural clinical psychology and presents how these premises could be translated in the approaching to a concrete situation. For this purpose, the work of some contemporary authors is identified, elucidating the possible bridges between cultural psychology and a form of clinical practice interested in the singular expression of suffering that privileges an idiographic approac…

This study examines the case of Pablo, a 20-year-old Afro-Colombian student and the first in his family to attend university. Using a cultural-semiotic psychological framework, this research explores the meaning-making processes that Pablo undergoes during his first year of studies. Through interviews and foc…

The Affective Semiosis of the Hypoglycemic Symptom in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) involves a complex treatment because its daily management requires patients to maintain a delicate balance to avoid the symptomatic discomfort of hypoglycemia. Although hypoglycemia has been studied from a biomedical perspective, there is limited research related to the meaning construction and affective regulation processes associated with it. The present study aims to understand the affective-semiotic processes i…
Towards the integrated study of the dialogical self and agency to research personal change in education / Hacia el estudio integrado del yo dialógico y la agencia para investigar el cambio personal en…
Dialogical and sociocultural perspectives propose the dialogical self and agency, respectively, as privileged constructs to account for the processes of personal change in education. However, the integrated study between both phenomena has rarely been addressed systematically in education to understand in greater depth how students and teachers construct their identity as learners and teachers. This special issue seeks to contribute to this resea…
Beyond Therapeutic Adherence: Alternative Pathways for Understanding Medical Treatment in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Given the psychosocial and economic costs of behaviors of patients who seem not to benefit from the medications, technologies, and medical therapies available for chronic diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, therapeutic adherence has been identified as one of the main focuses in the intervention. This paper presents contributions from semiotic cultural clinical psychology for understanding problems associated with the implementation of medi…

The current study aims to show the identity reconfiguration dynamics in university teachers based on their life experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Theoretically, an intersection is made between the Semiotic Cultural Psychology perspective and the Dialogical Self Theory approach. Methodologically, an idiographic qualitative study was carried out with three participants-university professors-who show the dynamics of change due to the pandemi…
