With reference to the intergenerational theorizing of trauma, this article considers the role of transcendence in the substance of our theoretical ideas about psychosis. Arguing against an emphasis on notions of developmental deficit, the author considers the recent work of Davoine and Gaudilliere as a means of questioning some of the paradigmatic assumptions of clinical psychology. It is sugge...

Technology made modernity possible. It has been the engine of modernity, shaping it and propelling it forward. The Renaissance was made possible by major fourteenthand fifteenth-century inventions like the mechanical clock, the full-rigged ship, fixed-viewpoint perspective, global maps, and the printing press. The emergence of industrial society in the eighteenth century was the result of an in...

Although tremendous growth has occurred in the breadth and depth of topics investigated within the elder abuse literature, identification of the theoretical underpinnings of elder abuse research, practice, and policy has lagged behind the empirical output. Many academicians as well as practitioners fail to acknowledge explicitly the influence of theory on their research, teaching, programmatic,...

Mediation is one of the most often cited concepts in current cultural-historical theory literature, in which cultural actions and artifacts are often characterized as mediators standing between situational stimuli and behavioral responses. Most often presented as a means to overcome Cartesian dualism between subject and object, and between individual and society, some scholars have nonetheless ...

This tendency, however, still remains primarily embedded within analytical (‘cartography of literature’) or critical (‘critical literary cartography’) approaches, and fails to engage the recent development of ...

M odern economic analysis, oriented toward understanding the workings of economies that make extensive use of markets, came into existence with three guiding questions, all central in Adam Smith’s (1776 [1937]) The Wealth of Nations. One question concerned order. Without any central authority guiding and commanding action, how is economic activity coordinated? The second question was the challe...

The aim of this special issue is to show how theoretical ideas from the social sciences can be applied to researching ICTs and socioeconomic development. Why should this be needed? Because the explosion of work on ICTs for development (ICT4D) has (unconsciously) followed Marx’s dictum: “The philosophers have only interpreted the world differently; the point is, to change it.” There has been a b...
