The Dialogical Mind: Common Sense and Ethics

TLDR
In this paper, Markova presents an ethics of dialogicality as an alternative to the narrow perspective of individualism and cognitivism that has traditionally dominated the field of social psychology.
Abstract
Dialogue has become a central theoretical concept in human and social sciences as well as in professions such as education, health, and psychotherapy. This 'dialogical turn' emphasises the importance of social relations and interaction to our behaviour and how we make sense of the world; hence the dialogical mind is the mind in interaction with others - with individuals, groups, institutions, and cultures in historical perspectives. Through a combination of rigorous theoretical work and empirical investigation, Markova presents an ethics of dialogicality as an alternative to the narrow perspective of individualism and cognitivism that has traditionally dominated the field of social psychology. The dialogical perspective, which focuses on interdependencies among the self and others, offers a powerful theoretical basis to comprehend, analyse, and discuss complex social issues. Markova considers the implications of dialogical epistemology both in daily life and in professional practices involving problems of communication, care, and therapy.

A Sociocultural Psychology of the Life Course to Study Human Development

Tania Zittoun
- 10 Aug 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , a sociocultural psychology aiming at a better understanding of people's development in their courses of life, unfolding in changing social and cultural environments, is presented, which leads to three core questions: first, if development occurs at the junction of the social and the psychological, how can we theoretically account for the guidance of the socio-cultural world upon people's learning and development, and people's unique capacities to create and transform these environments? Second, if one adopts such a perspective, how do we account for what it is that people develop through life, as they move through a plurality of situations? And third, as people learn and develop through the process of life.
