The Eternal Return
Cultural-historical activity theory frequently is used as a framework for studying static situations statically. In this book, the authors implement Lev Vygotsky’s call for doing unit rather than element analysis by studying activity dynamically, across different spatial and temporal scales. The eternal return, that is, the continual production of change while reproducing the system, is taken as the central metaphor for a system that produces self-movement. A case study is provided of salmon enhancement in British Columbia (Canada), linking the 120-year cultural history of this activity, with the 30-year evolution of a fish hatchery that concretely constitutes the system in one of the possible ways, and the knowing and learning of individual fish culturists, which is analyzed at the time scales of five years down to the micro-evolution of individual conversations. Most importantly, the authors implement Vygotsky’s call for theorizing affect and emotion at the very heart of the activity system, showing how the eternal return allows us to under-stand the change of worker involvement and identification with the goals of their workplace.
Developmental Work Research
"Developmental work research is an innovative approach to the study and reshaping of work and learning. It expands cultural-historical activity theory by bringing it to the domains of work, technology and organizations. The world of work is in turmoil, increasingly dominated by 'runaway objects' generated by globalization and greed (global markets are such massive objects out of control). Yet it is the object that motivates work and generates visons of better future. The use values of objects have not vanished, although they are more difficult to grasp than perhaps ever before. Developmental work research rediscovers and expands use values in runaway objects. In workplace interventions it engages practitioners in expansive re-forging of the objects of their work."--Cover.
Putting Activity Theory to Work
Cultural-historical activity theory is a powerful toolkit for social sciences. This book demonstrates how the Finnish school of developmental work research uses activity theory in the analysis and practical transformation of work, technology and organizations. Developmental work research is a longitudinal and interventionist approach. Researchers aim at generating, supporting and following cycles of expansive learning in the activity systems they study. The process opens up qualitatively new possibilities for creating use values and for developing the capabilities and agency of the practitioners and their clients. Critical dialogue and partnerships are built between the researchers and the o...
Culture and Emerging Educational Challenges
This book is the result of a long movement of ideas and practices between Brazil and Germany. It brings together different research methodologies (discourse analysis, case studies, cross-cultural comparison, and action and practice- research) and studies innovative theoretical approaches and childhood-related practices that question present power relations and open up new ways of dealing with emerging phenomena in the fields of school and educational policy as well as in home-rearing, therapeutic, and community practices. A series of critical case-studies and examples of radically innovative educational, media and therapeutic practices and community-based interventions are presented, all of ...
Aspects of the Dialogical Self
Aspects of the Dialogical Self is, at the core, a documentation of the outcome of a symposium held at the Second International Connference on the Dialogical Self (2002). Starting from a psycholinguistical and socio-cultural approach, its aim was to present several perspectives on the phenomenon of (inner) speech on the borders of communication and cognition and of individual and social performances. The symposium was concerned with the concept of development in different respects: in regard to the relation between inner speech and literacy (Juan Daniel Ramirez), to questions and their special role for the dialogical self (Marie-Cécile Bertau), and to the role of mutuality in psychological g...
Intermediarität
In den erwachsenenpädagogischen Fachdiskursen wird der Erwerb von „Demokratiekompetenz“ im Rahmen „zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements“ immer entschiedener gegenüber affirmativen Auffassungen abgegrenzt. Es wird hingegen die Position vertreten, dass „Erwachsenenlernen in der Zivilgesellschaft“ seine motivierende Dynamik und gesellschaftliche Produktivität erst aus dem Eigensinn und aus der selbstbewussten Widerständigkeitsbewegung gegenüber die jeweils relevante Opposition schöpft. Widerständigkeit lässt sich dabei als ein grenzbetonter Kontaktprozess verstehen, der zwischen unterschiedlichen Bedeutungskontexten verläuft. Erst auf der Grundlage von Widerständigkeit kons...

Boys-Talk
Viele Studien zeigen, dass soziale Konstruktionen „traditioneller Männlichkeit“ als sinnvoll angeeignete Bedeutungen mit Problemen für die Jungen selbst und für andere verbunden sind. Demgegenüber stand in dieser Untersuchung der Prozess im Mittelpunkt, in dem Jungen und männliche Jugendliche eine Persönlichkeit entwickeln, in der sie sich auf Distanz zu traditioneller Männlichkeit begeben. Grundlage ist ein, auf der materialistischen Subjekttheorie und abbild-theoretischen Entwicklungspsychologie Wolfgang Jantzens aufbauendes Modell männlicher Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, das mit narrationspsychologischen Erkenntnissen zur Identitätsentwicklung in der Adoleszenz und psychoanaly...
Yrjö Engeström
Das vorliegende Buch präsentiert eine Sammlung von Texten Yrjö ENGESTRÖMs, die sich über die ganze Periode seines bisherigen enorm produktiven Schaffens erstreckt, d.h. sie reicht von 1987 – 2011. Yrjö ENGESTRÖM kann als einer der erfolgreichsten und meistgelesenen Forscher der kulturhistorischen Schule der Psychologie angesehen werden. Die vorliegende Auswahl enthält die Originalarbeit von 1987 zur Theorie des expansiven Lernens. In drei neueren Arbeiten werden die praktischen und theoretischen Konsequenzen dieses Paradigmas beispielhaft illustriert. Mit dieser Auswahl von Texten liegt den Interessenten an diesem Ansatz ein Buch vor, das sowohl für die theoretische wie für die praktische Arbeit seinen Nutzen zeigen sollte.
