Didactics as a science is based on psychology and has developed a system of principles that underpin its theoretical body using psychological results. The article analyzes the principles that have been addressed in the literature so far. Subsequently, the essential postulates of the Subjectivity Theory as a slope of the historical–cultural approach are discussed. Finally, new principles that support a didactic system based on the theory of subjectivity are defined.

The notion of tolerance is widely embraced across many settings and is generally considered critical for the peaceful functioning of culturally diverse societies. However, the concepts of tolerance and intolerance have various meanings and can be used in different ways and for different purposes. The various understandings raise different empirical questions and might have different implications for the subject positions of those who are tolerant and those who are tolerated. In this study, we focus on cultural understandings of tolerance and intolerance and how these terms are used in discourses. We first describe how in an open-ended question in a national survey lay people use a classical and a more modern understanding of tolerance to describe situations of tolerance and intolerance. Second, we analyze how those who tolerate and those who are tolerated can flexibly use these different understandings of (in)tolerance for discursively making particular “us–them” distinctions. It is concluded that the notions of tolerance and intolerance have different cultural meanings which both can be used for progressive or oppressive ends.

This article discusses a theoretical-methodological approach aimed at overcoming some limitations of Marxism and cultural-historical psychology. The concepts of “ideology” proposed by Lukács and the “meaning-sense” by Vygotsky have been crisscrossed. The concept of ideology refers to ideas that have a social function of intervening in social conflicts by determining the praxes of individuals in their daily lives. Hence, ideology adopts language as a tool for its operationalization in the discourse. For Vygotsky, the smallest subdivision of a language is the word and, more specifically, its meaning. It transforms human thoughts into speech for communication and guidance of praxis. The appropriate meanings, present in the discourses, generate a process of re-elaboration in the sense by individuals through their experience (perezhivanie). It is possible to approach both theoretical concepts by considering that meanings are elements that transmit ideologies from the social sphere to the individuals’ consciousness and influence their praxis. This understanding has methodological consequences and allows the use of meaning-senses as empirical elements for the analysis of ideology both in consciousness and daily life of individuals. This contributes to a discourse analysis that recognizes the dialectical feature of the individual–ideology relation.

The Internet has provided a new context for the exploration of the concept of identity. Different identities were expressed on different online settings, which indicates the feature of ‘situational selves’ of online identities. By comparing the differences among WeChat identity, Weibo identity and offline identity, more examples were introduced not only to explain ‘situational selves’, but also the ‘rationality’ in choosing among different online identities.

The enactment of the Water Services Bill into Irish law on December 28, 2014, was met with strong opposition from the Irish public, manifesting in local and national demonstrations. This social movement provided an ideal case to examine interactions between protesters and police in different contexts. Ethnographic observations and randomly sampled interviews took place before, and during, seven national demonstrations in Dublin, Ireland. Simultaneously, urban ethnographic research yielded in-depth observational and interview data at local protests in another Irish city. Data from both national and local protests are examined in light of classical and contemporary sociocultural psychological conceptualizations of the crowd. The elaborated social identity model offers most explanatory power to comprehend the observed and reported events between police and protesters in this cultural context during an unprecedented economic recovery following recession. No evidence is found to support classical conceptualizations of the crowd. I describe the consequences of this analysis for conceptualizing police–protester interactions to generate peaceful assembly in liberal democracies.

Research into socioemotional interactions in collaborative learning situations has focused on their positive or negative effects. Emphasis has also been placed on how affective aspects contribute to cognitive ones. The present work shows this type of interactions from the perspective of intersubjectivity in the framework of cultural semiotic psychology. Using naturalistic observation in a collaborative learning situation, the results show moments of intersubjectivity based on negotiation and transformation of meanings. Finally, five interrelated dimensions in collaborative learning according to the perspective of semiotic cultural psychology are discussed, these being affectivity-cognition, interactions, disquieting experience and tensión, transformation of meanings and new interactions.

Colonised indigenous minorities around the world are constantly navigating the complex space between their heritage culture and mainstream society. In this paper, we explore how embeddedness in heritage cultural values, beliefs, and practises influence the behaviours of indigenous minorities, particularly during intercultural contact with the post-colonial majority where values, beliefs, and practises often clash. To support our theorising, we introduce the concept of cultural embeddedness, relating to enculturation in one’s heritage cultural values, beliefs, and practises. We then introduce the Dual-Pathways Model of Embeddedness to Culturally Valued Behaviours for Indigenous Minorities (DPM), which seeks to outline the two separate but interrelated pathways through which cultural embeddedness leads to culturally valued behaviours. The dual pathways include an implicit pathway, which begins with cultural values, and an explicit pathway, which begins with cultural practises. We use an indigenous approach, drawing on the first author’s experiences as an indigenous Māori in New Zealand to illustrate the concepts of the DPM. The model attempts to integrate the various ways in which cultural identity has been defined by indigenous authors into a single theory. We invite future qualitative and quantitative research, especially by indigenous scholars, to challenge and/or validate the DPM.

Mexico stands out for its unique rites of symbolization of death. Being historically determined by the richness of its pre-Hispanic cultures, and with the fusion of catholic and Mesoamerican rites, Mexicans’ relationship with death is unique. Mourning rites are imbued with a circular worldview of life and death. Some of the basic psychoanalytic components of mourning are present in Mexican mourning rites: symbolic function, cathartic affects, identification, and socialization of signifiers. Nowadays, the massive deaths as a result of violence imposes the encryption of mourning as a perverse demand. The lack of response to the cries for help render useless the symbolic functions of mourning rites, which brings about a new way of socializing the loss, through massive social movements. We inquire, through a psychoanalytic reading of mourning and its socio-historical aspects in Mexico, and by emphasizing the traditions of mourning and its multiple symbolic values, the different ways Mexicans deal with death, in order shed some light into Mexicans’ symbolic responses and relationship with death while facing the perverse challenge of a violent regime.

Viewing psychology as a cultural activity associated with technologies of the self, and noting the cultural phenomenon of the Jungian movement internationally, this paper presents a reading of Jung’s ‘A Study in the Process of Individuation’ through the lens of dialogism. Jung’s study pivots on the interpretation of paintings by a middle-aged American woman, ‘Miss X’, whom he treated in 1928. The present paper critically examines dialogical aspects of the Jungian text, such as Jung’s metaphor of a dialogue with the unconscious, how he and his patient co-constructed her ‘inner’ dialogue, and the text’s dialogue with its audience. It is concluded that the process of individuation described by Jung is fundamentally dialogical, evincing the human capacity to co-construct meanings of self-experience and thereby to change how we experience our own selves.

In this paper, I present Bertoldo and Castro’s (2019) epistemological limits in relation to Moscovici’s and propose to develop some of Moscovici’s dynamic aspects. Because Bertoldo and Castro (2019) refer to Boulanger and Christensen’s (2018) work—which aims to schematize the representation processes at different levels of abstraction and develop an aesthetic theory of social representations with respect to Simmel—as a dialogical response, I use this same framework to criticize and push further their effort of extending SRT with regard to the subjective dimension. Bakhtin’s work will be partially used to support my arguments and establish the basis for a dialogical model of aesthetic representation as CHARACTERization. I will quickly illustrate the theoretical propositions regarding the analysis of intergenerational practices in Quebec (Canada), thereby introducing the concept of intergenerational CHARACTERization.
