Bücher der Reihe Advances in Cultural Psychology

Cultural psychology of today is an attempt to advance the program of research that was charted out by Wilhelm Wundt - yet at times we are carefully avoiding direct recognition of such continuity. This book presents a theory of culture in psychology since Wilhelm Wundt's ""Volkerpsychologie"" of the first decades of the twentieth century.

The dynamics of trust and distrust are central to understanding modern society. The collection of papers in this book questions the diverse ways in which the concept of trust has been previously used, and advances a coherent theorisation of the socio-cultural dynamics of trust and distrust.

Focusses on interdisciplinary semiotics which is situated in a geographical metaphor and points to the possibility of uncovering meanings through shifting perspectives as well as to the possibility of understanding how these various modes of meaning are articulated and framed in particular cultural instances.
