Drawing on philosophy, the history of psychology and the natural
sciences, this book proposes a new theoretical foundation for the
psychology of the life course. It features the study of unique
individual life courses in their social and cultural environment,
combining the perspectives of developmental and sociocultural
psychology, psychotherapy, learning sciences and
geronto-psychology. In particular, the book highlights semiotic
processes, specific to human development, that allow us to draw
upon past experiences, to choose among alternatives and to plan our
futures. Imagination is an important outcome of semiotic processes
and enables us to deal with daily constraints and transitions, and
promotes the transformation of social representation and symbolic
systems - giving each person a unique style, or 'melody', of
living. The book concludes by questioning the methodology and
epistemology of current life course studies.
