Bøger af Rom Harre

I 1990 udkom Bronwyn Davies og Rom Harrés banebrydende artikel om begrebet positionering. De ønskede at finde et mere dynamisk social-psykologisk begreb end rolleteorien til at beskrive, hvordan menneskers identitet og sociale liv udspilles. Det lingvistisk inspirerede positioneringsbegreb peger på, at subjektivitet og identitet er noget, der konstant skabes og forhandles gennem vores positioneringer i de samtaler, vi deltager i.Begrebet positionering har haft en omfattende virkningshistorie og tilbyder os stadig i dag en utrolig anvendelig analyse af enhver form for samtale, idet Davies og Harré medinddrager kontekst, situation, kropssprog, symboler og signaler.Det er første gang, at teksten foreligger i dansk oversættelse. Bogen indledes med en begrebsgennemgang ved oversætter Ole Lindegård Henriksen. Forord ved Thorkild Olsen.Bogens målgruppeDenne bog er til alle, studerende og professionelle, der interesserer sig for kommunikation, sproghandlinger, relationer og identitet.

In this book Harr nd Tissaw display Wittgenstein's analysis of the 'grammar' of the most important of these concepts in a systematic and accessible way. Previous studies of the psychological aspects of Wittgenstein's writings, admirable as exegeses of his thought, have paid little attention to the relevant psychology. Here, the 'adjacent' theories and empirical investigations from mainstream psychology have been described in sufficient detail to show how Wittgenstein's work impinges on psychology as it has actually been practiced.

It is important for every student of psychology to understand the classic scholars, the classic studies, and the subsequent generations of people and ideas that have come to define the broad discipline that is 'psychology'. This book combines the biopic with the significance of the major protagonists, organized by 'schools of thought'.

In this examination of the discourse of environmentalism, the authors explore the linguistic, philosophical, psychological and cultural-historical aspects of environmental discourse, rather than environmental phenomena themselves.

A reappraisal of the concept of selfhood seeking to demonstrate that despite the centrality of our social and cultural identities the self must be understood as autonomous, distinct and continuous - as singular.

Violence on the terraces, anarchy in the classroom: the popularly held view of youth as reported in the media. "Rules of Disorder" challenges this view, which is taken to be a misconception of contemporary youth.

Wittgenstein made use of his insights into the nature and powers of language to search out the source of conceptual confusions in the foundations of mathematics and in philosophy of psychology. Once he has established the use account of language, his Philosophical Investigations opens out into an extensive coverage of psychological phenomena and the concepts with which we identify and manage them. In this book Harr nd Tissaw display Wittgenstein''s analysis of the ''grammar'' of the most important of these concepts in a systematic and accessible way. Previous studies of the psychological aspects of Wittgenstein''s writings, admirable as exegeses of his thought, have paid little attention to the relevant psychology. Here, the ''adjacent'' theories and empirical investigations from mainstream psychology have been described in sufficient detail to show how Wittgenstein''s work impinges on psychology as it has actually been practiced. In using this book, philosophers will be able to get a sense of the relevance of Wittgenstein''s philosophical psychology to the development of psychology as a science. Psychologists will be able to see how to use Wittgenstein''s insights to enrich and discipline their attempts to gain an understanding of human thinking, feeling, acting and perceiving, the domain of psychology as science. The book includes an historical overview of the sources of Wittgenstein''s philosophy in the Vienna of the last years of Austro-Hungary, as well as a brief presentation of the main themes of his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as it anticipated computational models of cognition. Student use is emphasized with frequent summaries and self-test questionnaires.

This volume focuses on relations between the self and other individuals, the self and groups, and the self and context.

Resistance used to mean irrational and reactionary behaviour, assuming that rationality resides on the side of progress and its parties. The end of the Cold War allows us to drop ideological and prejudicial analysis. Indeed, we recognise that resistance is a historical constant, and its relation to rationality or irrationality is not predetermined.This volume asks: to what extent are social scientific conceptions of 'resistances' sui generis, or borrowed from natural sciences by metaphor and analogy? To what extent do the social sciences continue to be a 'social tribology' lubricating a process of strategic changes?Fifteen authors explore these questions from the point of view of different disciplines including physics, biology, social psychology, history of science, history of medicine, legal theory, political science, history, police studies, psychotherapy research and art theory.The book offers a unique panorama of concepts of 'resistance' and examines the potential of a general 'resistology' across diverse practices of rationality.

This lucidly argued volume covers the key philosophical revolutions that are shaping contemporary psychology. Harr[ac]e and Gillett herald a new paradigm in psychology, dissolving the Cartesian distinction between mind and body in favour of the discursive turn in psychological theory.
