A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology Series Editor: Jaan
Valsiner, Clark University The dynamics of trust and distrust are
central to understanding modern society. These dynamics are evident
at all levels of society, from the child's relation to caregivers
to the individual's relation to the state, and they span from taken
for granted trusting relationships to highly reflective and
negotiated contractual interactions. The collection of papers in
this book questions the diverse ways in which the concept of trust
has been previously used, and advances a coherent theorisation of
the socio-cultural dynamics of trust and distrust. In this volume,
trust and distrust are analysed in relation to lay knowledge and
situated in historical, cultural and interactional contexts.The
contexts analysed include witch-hunting during the Reformation,
China before and after the move to capitalism, building close
personal relationships in South Korea, the representation of
political corruption in Brazil, tourists bargaining for souvenirs
in the Himalaya, disclosing being HIV+ in India, the historical
shaping of trust in Portugal, and the role of trust and distrust in
the economic development of the Baltic States. Throughout these
analyses, and in associated commentaries and theoretical chapters,
the focus is upon the cultural and social constitution of trust and
distrust.
