The title of our volume on interdisciplinary semiotics is situated in a geographical metaphor and points to the possibility ofuncovering meanings through shifting perspectives as well as to the possibility of understanding how these various modes ofmeaning are articulated and framed in particular cultural instances. Regardless of medium, semiotic rotations permit playbetween the surface and underlying levels of a communication, reveal the relationship between open and closed systems ofsignification, and modulate shades of meaning caught between the visible and invisible. Readerly play in...

This unusual collection explores the development of ideas in psychology's past, and shapes them into a valuable resource for ideas in the discipline's future, with particular emphasis on holistic traditions in psychology.

All psychological processes--like biological and social ones--are dynamic. Phenomena of nature, society, and the human psyche are context bound, constantly changing, and variable. This feature of reality is often not recognized in the social sciences where we operate with averaged data and with homogeneous stereotypes, and consider our consistency to be the cornerstone of rational being. Yet we are all inconsistent in our actions within a day, or from, one day to the next, and much of such inconsistency is of positive value for our survival and development. Our inconsistent behaviors and...
