Cultural psychology claims that contextual factors related to the social group’s cultural specificity (i.e., norms, institutions, artefacts, values, patterns of action, cognitive models) shape/affect/mediate the way people think and act (e.g. Cole 1996; Vygotsky 1978). Within this general framework, the semiotic approach (Salvatore 2016; Valsiner 2007, 2014; Zittoun 2006) provides a processual view of culture, conceived of as the on-going dynamics of sensemaking through which people interpret their experience, in so doing shaping their own worlds of life and their ways of engaging with the world. The cultural milieu provides persons with generalized meanings embedded within it, that work as affect-laden systems of assumptions, in so doing channelling the sense-making.

Abstract
Cultural psychology claims that contextual factors related to the social group’s cultural specificity (i.e., norms, institutions, artefacts, values, patterns of action, cognitive models) shape/affect/mediate the way people think and act (e.g. Cole 1996; Vygotsky 1978). Within this general framework, the semiotic approach (Salvatore 2016; Valsiner 2007, 2014; Zittoun 2006) provides a processual view of culture, conceived of as the on-going dynamics of sensemaking through which people interpret their experience, in so doing shaping their own worlds of life and their ways of engaging with the world. The cultural milieu provides persons with generalized meanings embedded within it, that work as affect-laden systems of assumptions, in so doing channelling the sense-making.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
