DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is a commonly held assumption among cultural, social, and political psychologists that imagining the future of societies we live in has the potential to change how we think and act in the world. However little research has been devoted to whether this effect exists in collective imaginations, of social groups, communities and nations, for instance. This book explores the part that imagination and creativity play in the construction of collective futures, and the diversity of outlets in which these are presented, from fiction and cultural symbols to science and technology. The authors discuss this effect in social phenomena such as in intergroup conflict and social change, and focus on several cases studies to illustrate how the imagination of collective futures can guide social and political action. This book brings together theoretical and empirical contributions from cultural, social, and political psychology to offer insight into our constant (re)imagination of the societies in which we live.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"How has social psychology investigated the concept of change? In this chapter, we try to answer this question by moving in two directions. First, we briefly consider the main lines of research described in some of the reference books on social psychology, and the contributions of leading scholars who studied change (i.e. the great names in its history, cf. Lubek, 1993). Second, we analyze the abstracts of the papers published in two journals of pivotal importance in this field since their inception, i.e. the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the European Journal of Social Psychology. In line with recent developments in digital methods, the distant reading of large corpora of scientific literature can serve as a valid counterpart to more traditional ways of pursuing a historical quest like the one we posit here (Tuzzi, 2018)"--
The Dialogical Mind

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDialogue 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, Marková 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. Marková considers the implications of dialogical epistemology both in daily life and in professional practices involving problems of communication, care, and therapy.
