From the Publisher:
The old opposition of matter versus mind stubbornly persists in the way we study mind and brain. In treating cognition as problem solving, Andy Clark suggests, we may often abstract too far from the very body and world in which our brains evolved to guide us. Whereas the mental has been treated as a realm that is distinct from the body and the world, Clark forcefully attests that a key to understanding brains is to see them as controllers of embodied activity. From this paradigm shift he advances the construction of a cognitive science of the embodied mind.

Semiotic autoregulation: Dynamic sign hierarchies constraining the stream of consciousness

In this issue of Culture & Psychology, we take an intellectual tour to the region of discursive psychology, with a focus on ‘discourse analysis’ as its methodological extension. Although discursive and narrative perspectives are certainly not new to the pages of Culture & Psychology (Bamberg, 1997; Edwards, 1995; Parker, 1995; Radley & Kennedy, 1997; Shi-xu, 1995), the present issue provides an opportunity for a more sustained examination of discourse analysis in the study of language use, culture and psychological processes. Discourse analysis is not a uniform category of a single methodological orientation (for overviews see Schiffrin, 1994; Van Dijk, 1997a, 1997b), and loosely overlaps with conversation analysis and narratology. The analyses of talk and texts presented in this issue’s two featured articles are informed by conversation analysis, an approach to discourse analysis that is rooted in ethnomethodology (Garfinkel, 1967; Heritage, 1984). The target articles can be viewed as a small sample of what is currently happening in the field. We make no pretense that the material in this issue is a representative sample of this wide, busy and burgeoning field. Rather, what we have in this issue is an attempt at intellectual dissection of two empirically focused examples, through commentaries by authors who have been purposefully selected for their divergent viewpoints.
