This volume aims at further articulating and developing the
cultural psychological interest in community. It focuses on the
processes through which individuals constitute communities and the
processes that restrain or enable moving forward with others. This
interest is necessary especially now that the world is on the move.
Economic crises, political crises and ecological crises have led to
reinforced migration patterns, a rise in authoritarianism and
xenophobia, and have become a threat to the survival of the world
as we know it, particularly to minorities and indigenous
communities. At the same time, we are witnessing the birth of new
networks, dialogues and actions, generated by people within,
between and among communities. Therefore, this volume collects
interdisciplinary theoretical, empirical and applied contributions
enabling engagement with communities in cultural psychology. This
involves both reflections on meaning-making processes and
projections on how they feed into social transformation, in
exchange with community psychology, anthropology and sociology.
People vitally depend on community to effectively negotiate or
resist in complex intercultural or intergroup settings. In the wake
of human rights violations or to prevent further damage to the
environment a community is needed to undertake action. From
feminist movements and disability activism to the otherwise
marginalized: how do people constitute communities? How do they
resist as a community? How can cultural psychology contribute not
only to understand meaning-making processes, but also connect them
to processes of social transformation? Migration, moving through
and connecting to different communities can affect meaning making
in significant ways. People consider themselves as members of one
or another community, but they also increasingly enter into new
settings of social practice with new means for action. How might
creative meaning-making build bridges between communities? How
might new community arise in between or with others? How can
cultural psychology deal with intercultural processes without
reifying different cultures? These are the central questions that
the, mostly emerging, scholars from many corners of the world
address in this book. Their research addresses different
institutional settings that are resisted and transformed from
within, in dialogue with others. From social work, NGOs and
municipal activity to university talent mobility and art projects
for youth. Other settings are newly inhabited, from the public
square and the social media to a foreign city and neighborhood
church. Thus, more communities appear on the map of cultural
psychology.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER,THE HIDDEN LIFE OF
TREES 'A simultaneously stimulating and soothing blend of nature
writing and science ... Strongly encourages tree hugging for our
own, human sake' Guardian Summer Reads 2021 A powerful return to
the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains
that extend underground. Where the colour green calms us, and the
forest sharpens our senses. In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned
forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to
show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world. In an
era of climate change, many of us fear we've lost our connection to
nature, but Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans
to the forest remain alive and intact. We just have to know where
to look. Drawing on science and cutting-edge research, The
Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can
have with nature, exploring: the language of the forest the
consciousness of plants and the eroding boundary between flora and
fauna A perfect book to take with you into the woods, The Heartbeat
of Trees shares how to see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste the
forest. Peter Wohlleben, renowned for his ability to write about
trees in an engaging and moving way, reveals a wondrous cosmos
where humans are a part of nature, and where conservation and
environmental activism is not just about saving trees, it's about
saving ourselves, too.
