This volume offers a selection of theoretical views and empirical investigations by researchers in Europe, South America and North America. The theoretical chapters seek to clarify and extend central concepts of the cultural-historical tradition, such as activity, internalisation, personality, the ideal, theory-practice, and forces and relations of production. The empirical chapters, many of them concerned with the role of communication in developing psychological functions, seek to engage, criticise and extend theoretical concepts such as language construction, role, competition and co-operation, internalisation, intersubjectivity, heterogenity of thinking and subjective aspects of learning. Based on revised and extended papers presented at the 4th International Congress of the Society for Cultural Research and Activity Theory, this volume provided a useful introduction to a broad range of open research topics in contemporary cultural-historical psychology.
