In this classic edition of her groundbreaking text Knowledge in
Context, Sandra Jovchelovitch revisits her influential work on the
societal and cultural processes that shape the development of
representational processes in humans. Through a novel analysis of
processes of representation, and drawing on dialogues between
psychology, sociology and anthropology, Jovchelovitch argues that
representation, a social psychological construct relating Self,
Other and Object-world, is at the basis of all knowledge. Exploring
the dominant assumptions of western conceptions of knowledge and
the quest for a unitary reason free from the 'impurities' of
person, community and culture, Jovchelovitch recasts questions
related to historical comparisons between the knowledge of adults
and children, 'civilised' and 'primitive' peoples, scientists and
lay communities and examines the ambivalence of classical theorists
such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Freud, Durkheim and Levy-Bruhl in
addressing these issues. Featuring a new introductory chapter, the
author evaluates the last decade of research since Knowledge in
Context first appeared and reassesses the social psychology of the
contemporary public sphere, exploring how challenges to the
dialogicality of representations reconfigure both community and
selfhood in this early 21st century. This book will make essential
reading for all those wanting to follow debates on knowledge and
representation at the cutting edge of social, cultural and
developmental psychology, sociology, anthropology, development and
cultural studies.
