Book Inner Speech and the Dialogical Self

Download or read book Inner Speech and the Dialogical Self written by Norbert Wiley and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner speech, also known as self-talk, is distinct from ordinary language. It has several functions and structures, from everyday thinking and self-regulation to stream of consciousness and daydreaming. Inner Speech and the Dialogical Self provides a comprehensive analysis of this internal conversation that people have with themselves to think about problems, clarify goals, and guide their way through life. Norbert Wiley shrewdly emphasizes the semiotic and dialogical features of the inner speech, rather than the biological and neurological issues. He also examines people who lack control of their inner speech—such as some autistics and many emotionally disturbed people who use trial and error rather than self-control—to show the power and effectiveness of inner speech. Inner Speech and the Dialogical Self takes a humanistic social theorist approach to its topic. Wiley acknowledges the contributions of inner speech theorists, Lev Vygotsky and Mikhail Bakhtin, and addresses the classical pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce, John Dewey, William James, and George Herbert Mead to show the range and depth of this largely unexplored field.

Book The Dialogical Self

Download or read book The Dialogical Self written by H. J. M. Hermans and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary research in personality, social psychology and sociology has renewed an interest in the self. This volume argues that the self may consist fo multiple selves, any of which may interact with each other in a dialogical fashion. The self is presented as a non-unitary embodiment that transcends the limits of individualism and rationalism. Beginning with philosophical discussion of the self, this volume discusses the decentralization of the self in narrative psychology, the retreat of the omniscient narrator in literary sciences, the genesis of self-knowledge in children and the concept of modern society as a multiplicity of collective voices.

  • ISBN : 1139486756
  • Pages : 403 pages

Download or read book Dialogical Self Theory written by Hubert Hermans and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-22 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a boundary-crossing and globalizing world, the personal and social positions in self and identity become increasingly dense, heterogeneous and even conflicting. In this handbook scholars of different disciplines, nations and cultures (East and West) bring together their views and applications of dialogical self theory in such a way that deeper commonalities are brought to the surface. As a 'bridging theory', dialogical self theory reveals unexpected links between a broad variety of phenomena, such as self and identity problems in education and psychotherapy, multicultural identities, child-rearing practices, adult development, consumer behaviour, the use of the internet and the value of silence. Researchers and practitioners present different methods of investigation, both qualitative and quantitative, and also highlight applications of dialogical self theory.

Download or read book The Voices Within written by Charles Fernyhough and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all hear voices. Ordinary thinking is often a kind of conversation, filling our heads with speech: the voices of reason, of memory, of self-encouragement and rebuke, the inner dialogue that helps us with tough decisions or complicated problems. For others - voice-hearers, trauma-sufferers and prophets - the voices seem to come from outside: friendly voices, malicious ones, the voice of God or the Devil, the muses of art and literature. In The Voices Within, Royal Society Prize shortlisted psychologist Charles Fernyhough draws on extensive original research and a wealth of cultural touchpoints to reveal the workings of our inner voices, and how those voices link to creativity and development. From Virginia Woolf to the modern Hearing Voices Movement, Fernyhough also transforms our understanding of voice-hearers past and present. Building on the latest theories, including the new 'dialogic thinking' model, and employing state-of-the-art neuroimaging and other ground-breaking research techniques, Fernyhough has written an authoritative and engaging guide to the voices in our heads.

Book Aspects of the Dialogical Self

Download or read book Aspects of the Dialogical Self written by Marie-Cécile Bertau and published by Lehmanns Media. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of the Dialogical Self is, at the core, a documentation of the outcome of a symposium held at the Second International Connference on the Dialogical Self (2002). Starting from a psycholinguistical and socio-cultural approach, its aim was to present several perspectives on the phenomenon of (inner) speech on the borders of communication and cognition and of individual and social performances. The symposium was concerned with the concept of development in different respects: in regard to the relation between inner speech and literacy (Juan Daniel Ramirez), to questions and their special role for the dialogical self (Marie-Cécile Bertau), and to the role of mutuality in psychological growth (Vera John-Steiner). The contributions are each followed by comments, thereby conveying some orality and "voicedness". This core is surrounded by an introductory part depicting the theory of the dialogical self accompanied by a proposition on modeling (Marie-Cécile Bertau), and by an additional topic which is a quite important and complex issue for the dialogical self: addressivity. The first contribution tries to open up the horizon in which addressivity could be placed, departing from philosophical considerations, going via conversational analysis to developmental aspects (Marie-Cécile Bertau). This general approach is supplied by two contributions dealing with specific moments of addressivity: the first one focuses on the special cases of open states of talk, faked multiple addressing, and self-talk (Heike Baldauf-Quilliatre). The second contribution (Marta Soler-Gallart) could well be read as a complement to Ramirez's article since it deals with dialogical reading, stating the transformative force of addressing. Thus, the book offers specific as well as general vistas of the dialogical self and of related questions such as ontogenetic and microgenetic development and conceptions of addressivity.

Book A Philosophy of Second Language Acquisition

Download or read book A Philosophy of Second Language Acquisition written by Marysia Johnson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: divdivHow does a person learn a second language? In this provocative book, Marysia Johnson proposes a new model of second language acquisition (SLA)—a model that shifts the focus from language competence (the ability to pass a language exam) to language performance (using language competently in real-life contexts). Johnson argues that current SLA theory and research is heavily biased in the direction of the cognitive and experimental scientific tradition. She shows that most models of SLA are linear in nature and subscribe to the conduit metaphor of knowledge transfer: the speaker encodes a message, the hearer decodes the sent message. Such models establish a strict demarcation between learners’ mental and social processes. Yet the origin of second language acquisition is located not exclusively in the learner’s mind but also in a dialogical interaction conducted in a variety of sociocultural and institutional settings, says the author. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bakhtin’s literary theory, she constructs an alternative framework for second language theory, research, teaching, and testing. This approach directs attention toward the investigation of dynamic and dialectical relationships between the interpersonal (social) plane and the intrapersonal (individual) plane. Johnson’s model shifts the focus of SLA away from a narrow emphasis on language competence toward a broader view that encompasses the interaction between language competence and performance. Original and controversial, A Philosophy of Second Language Acquisition offers: · an introduction to Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bakhtin’s literary theory, both of which support an alternative framework for second language acquisition; · an examination of the existing cognitive bias in SLA theory and research; · a radically new model of second language acquisition. /DIV/DIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inner Democracy: Empowering the Mind against a Polarizing Society investigates the psychological backgrounds of contemporary societal problems such as hate speech, authoritarianism, and divisive forms of identity politics. As a response to these phenomena, this book presents the basic premise is that a democratic society needs citizens who do more than just express their preference for free elections, freedom of speech, and respect of constitutional rights. Democracy is vital only if it is rooted in the hearts and minds of its participants who are willing to plant it in the fertile soil of their own self. In the field of tension created by societal power clashes and absolute truth pretensions, the book investigates how opposition, cooperation and participation work as innovative forces in a democratic self"--

Book The Theory and Practice of Vocal Psychotherapy

Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Vocal Psychotherapy written by Diane Austin and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The voice is the most powerful and widely used instrument in music therapy. This book demonstrates the enormous possibilities for personal change and growth using a new, voice-based model of psychotherapy where the sounds of the voice are expressed, listened to and interpreted in order to access unconscious aspects of the self and retrieve memories, images and feelings from the past. Combining theory with practice, the book explains the foundations of vocal psychotherapy and goes on to explore its usage in clinical practice and the various techniques involved. The book integrates important concepts from depth psychology such as regression, reenactment and working with transference and counter-transference with the practice of vocal music therapy. Drawing on over twenty years of research, the author uses case studies to illustrate specific vocal interventions, including improvisation techniques such as vocal holding, free associative singing and psychodramatic singing. Vocal Psychotherapy highlights the value of voice work as an integral part of the psychotherapeutic process and provides a model of advanced clinical work that will be essential reading for music and creative arts therapists.

Book Dialectic and Dialogue

  • Author : Dmitri Nikulin
  • Publisher : Stanford University Press
  • Release : 2010-06-11
  • ISBN : 0804774730
  • Pages : 251 pages

Download or read book Dialectic and Dialogue written by Dmitri Nikulin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the emergence of dialectic out of the spirit of dialogue and traces the relation between the two. It moves from Plato, for whom dialectic is necessary to destroy incorrect theses and attain thinkable being, to Cusanus, to modern philosophers—Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Schleiermacher and Gadamer, for whom dialectic becomes the driving force behind the constitution of a rational philosophical system. Conceived as a logical enterprise, dialectic strives to liberate itself from dialogue, which it views as merely accidental and even disruptive of thought, in order to become a systematic or scientific method. The Cartesian autonomous and universal yet utterly monological and lonely subject requires dialectic alone to reason correctly, yet dialogue, despite its unfinalizable and interruptive nature, is what constitutes the human condition.

Book Reaction Formations  Dialogism  Ideology  and Capitalist Culture

Download or read book Reaction Formations Dialogism Ideology and Capitalist Culture written by Jonathan Hall and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bakhtin and Voloshinov argued that dialogue is the intersubjective basis of consciousness, and of the creativity which makes historical changes in consciousness possible. The multiple dialogical relationships give every subject, who has developed through internalising them, the potential to distance him or herself from them. Consciousness is therefore an “unfinalised” process, always open to a possible future which would not merely reiterate the past. But this book explores its corollary: The relative openness is a field of conflict where rival discourses struggle for hegemony, by subordinating or eliminating their rivals. That is how the unconscious is created out of socio-historical conflicts. Hegemony is always incomplete, because there is always the possibility of a return of its repressed rivals in new combinations.
