Book cover Deep Experiencing

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Psychology ((BRIEFSPCDS))

Abstract

These conclusive remarks bring the chapters of the volume together into a theoretical exploration of the integration between cultural psychology and Dialogical Self Theory. Since the nature of cultural psychologies is mainly developmental, and the notion of I-position suggests a location in time, the text describes an attempt to put the I-position into movement, as a vector. This vectorial interpretation can lead to further explorations of the depth of experiences, in the vertical movements of felt intensities that sometimes transcend the capacity of language, calling in for silence-phenomena.
