A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology Series Editor: Jaan
Valsiner, Clark University Book Summary: Jakob von Uexkull founded
Umwelt research with a clear idea - that humans are not
qualitatively different than other species. Umwelt, literally
"outer-world," is the study of the organism in relation to the
world around it, as well as the meaning that the world holds for
that organism. Thus the world is a truly subjective place. While
von Uexkull's theory has entered into the social sciences via
semiotics, and biology via ethology, the authors of these chapters
go between and beyond these disciplines to examine everything from
cells to spiders to humans and culture. The authors adopt the
framework of Umwelt theory to examine unique aspects of the natural
world by relating the inner world of the subject and the objects to
which that organism attends.
