Angebote / Angebote:

Memory and learning are seen as mental phenomena and generally studied as brain processes, for example, withinvarious branches of psychology and neuroscience. This book represents a rather different tack, based on socioculturaltheory, cultural psychology and dialogism. Authors from many different disciplines and countries study memory andlearning as practices adopted by people in different interactional and institutional contexts. Studies range fromdetailed analyses of situated activities to broad sociohistorical studies of cultural phenomena and collective memoriessuch as national narratives and physical symbols for commemorating events and traditions. By focusing on howpeople engage in remembering and learning, this book provides a necessary complement to currently popularneuroscientific approaches.
