Jaan Valsiner has made numerous contributions to the development of
psychology over the last 40 years. He is internationally recognized
as a leader and innovator within both developmental psychology and
cultural psychology, and has received numerous prizes for his work:
the Alexander von Humboldt prize, the Hans Killian prize, and the
Outstanding International Psychologist Award from the American
Psychological Association. Having taught at Universities in Europe,
Asia and north and south America, he is currently Niels Bohr
professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. This book is the first to
discuss in detail the different sides of Valsiner's thought,
including developmental science, semiotic mediation, cultural
transmission, aesthetics, globalization of science, epistemology,
methodology and the history of ideas. The book provides an
overview, evaluation and extension of Valsiner's key ideas for the
construction of a dynamic cultural psychology, written by his
former students and colleagues from around the world.

Rom Harre's career spans more than 40 years of original
contributions to the development of both psychology and other human
and social sciences. Recognized as a founder of modern social
psychology, he developed the microsociological approach
'ethogenics' and facilitated the discursive turn within psychology,
as well as developed the concept of positioning theory. Used within
both philosophy and social scientific approaches aimed at conflict
analysis, analyses of power relations, and narrative structures,
the development and impact of positioning theory can be understood
as part of a second cognitive revolution. Whereas the first
cognitive revolution involved incorporating cognition as both
thoughts and feelings as an ineliminable part of psychology and
social sciences, this second revolution released this cognition
from a focus on individuals, and towards a focus of understanding
individuals as participating in public practices using public
discourses as part of their cognition. This edited volume adds to
the scholarly conversation around positioning theory, evaluates Rom
Harre's significance for the history and development of psychology,
and highlights his numerous theoretical contributions and their
lasting effects on the psychological and social sciences. Included
among the chapters: What is it to be a human being? Rom Harre on
self and identity The social philosophy of Harre as a philosophy of
culture The discursive ontology of the social world Ethics in
socio-cultural psychologies Discursive cognition and neural
networks The Second Cognitive Revolution: A Tribute to Rom Harre is
an indispensable reader for anyone interested in his
cognitive-historical turn, and finds an audience with academics and
researchers in the social and human science fields of cognitive
psychology, social psychology, discursive psychology, philosophy,
sociology, and ethnomethodology.
