Cambridge University Press Memory 10 Darwin College Lectures Series Number 10
Book SynopsisThis engaging volume for the general reader explores how individuals and societies remember, forget and commemorate events of the past. The collection of eight essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the relationships between individual experience and collective memory, with leading experts from the arts and sciences. We might expect scientists to be concerned with studying just the mental and physical processes involved in remembering, and humanities scholars to be interested in the products of memory, such as books, statues and music. This collection exposes the falseness of such a dichotomy, illustrating the insights into memory which can be gained by juxtaposing the complementary perspectives of specialists venturing beyond the normal boundaries of their disciplines. The authors come from backgrounds as diverse as psychoanalysis, creative writing, neuroscience, social history and medicine.Trade Review"A novelist, an anthropologist, a neuropsychologist, and a biologist, among others, have contributed essays in this volume on the meaning of memory. They investigate the physical processes involved in remembering, as well as such products of memory as literature, art, and music."

Cambridge University Press Irrationality and the Philosophy of Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisReconstructing the theories of Freud and Klein, Sebastian Gardner argues that psychoanalytic theory explains the nature of irrationality, and is an extension of everyday psychological explanation. He advances a view of the unconscious as a source of inherently irrational desires seeking expression through wish-fulfilment and phantasy.Trade Review'It has been a commonplace for many decades that Freud changed our conception of the human mind. Few writers and very few philosophers have tried to to tell us what this change amounts to. Sebastian Gardner's book is the most remarkable attempt I know to put this right.' Richard WollheimTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Note on the text; Introduction; Part I: Dividing Persons: 1. Ordinary irrationality; 2. Persons in parts; 3. Persons and sub-systems; Part II: Psychoanalytic Concepts: 4. Unconscious motives and Freudian concepts; 5. Wish; 6. Phantasy and Kleinian explanation; Part III: Psychoanalytic Conception of Mind: 7.

Cambridge University Press Thinking as Communicating
Book SynopsisThis book looks to change our thinking about thinking by looking at communication and cognition (commognition). The explanatory power of the commognitive framework and the manner in which it contributes to our understanding of human development is illustrated through commognitive analysis of mathematical discourse accompanied by vignettes from mathematics classrooms.Trade Review'Sfard has provided us with one of the most impressive, unified, homogenous theories of learning …' Computer-Supported Collaborative LearningTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. Discourse on Thinking: 1. Puzzling about (mathematical) thinking; 2. Objectification; 3. Commognition: thinking as communicating; 4. Thinking in language; Part II. Mathematics as Discourse: 5. Mathematics as a form of communication; 6. Objects of mathematical discourse: what mathematizing is all about; 7. Routines: how we mathematize; 8. Explorations, deeds, and rituals: what we mathematize for; 9. Looking back and ahead: solving old quandaries and facing new ones.

Cambridge University Press The Materiality of Learning
Book SynopsisBased on classroom ethnography, Sørensen compares traditional learning materials with digital technologies. He shows how these gave rise to different forms of knowledge and different ways of teachers and pupils being present in the classroom and computer lab and proposes six steps to the study of the materiality of learning.Trade Review“Estrid Sørensen offers a deeply fascinating, new look on learning. She shows us how blackboards and notebooks, pencils and rulers, bodies and tables, PCs and virtual environments are profoundly implicated in learning processes in an ordinary classroom and an internet-based 3D virtual environment project in a fourth-grade class. Her introduction of science and technology studies into research on education inspires us to re-imagine and rearrange educational practices at a time when we are struggling with integrating new technologies in our schools.” —Ole Dreier, University of Copenhagen“Indeed a pathbreaking book on the conception of learning. For the reflective teacher it is a gold mine of inspiration for what to do to improve teaching and education. And for those who hold views on learning in resonance with the ones outlined in the book – e.g. cultural-historical activity theory, sociocultural perspectives, situated learning approaches – it is thought provoking and a challenge on how to get a grip of what we have only begun to explore: the socio-material activities that make up learning.” —Berthel Sutter, Blekinge Institute of Technology“The Materiality of Learning presents a refreshing and insightful account of technology in schools. Sørensen gives a rich empirical description of how several kinds of technology – from virtual worlds and blogs to more traditional educational tools – helped constitute activity in a fourth grade classroom. She uses her empirical case to push forward an important set of cross-disciplinary issues, illustrating how learning is spread across systems of people and objects and demonstrating the power of objects as equal participants in cognitive activity. The book will be useful to scholars across anthropology, psychology, and educational research, who can use a clear but complex empirical case of technology in the classroom that skillfully uses theoretical innovations from science and technology studies to analyze classroom learning as a material process.” —Stanton Wortham, University of PennsylvaniaTable of Contents1. Introduction: a minimal methodology; 2. Components and opponents: designing the Femtedit Network; 3. Forms of technology; 4. Forms of knowledge; 5. Forms of presence; 6. Conclusion: the materiality of learning.

Cambridge University Press The Psychology of Visual Art Eye Brain and Art
Book SynopsisWhat can art tell us about how the brain works? And what can the brain tell us about how we perceive and create art? Humans have created visual art throughout history and its significance has been an endless source of fascination and debate. Visual art is a product of the human brain, but is art so complex and sophisticated that brain function and evolution are not relevant to our understanding? This book explores the links between visual art and the brain by examining a broad range of issues including: the impact of eye and brain disorders on artistic output; the relevance of Darwinian principles to aesthetics; and the constraints imposed by brain processes on the perception of space, motion and colour in art. Arguments and theories are presented in an accessible manner and general principles are illustrated with specific art examples, helping students to apply their knowledge to new artworks.Trade Review'A sumptuous book covering art history and linking it to a broad and deep coverage of visual neurosciences. This is a delightful, engaging text for advanced undergraduates as well as for specialists in vision and in art who want to understand the overlap of the two disciplines. It will bring both groups of readers back to favourite works of art with a new appreciation.' Patrick Cavanagh, Université Paris Descartes and Harvard University, Massachusetts'With his clear style, Mather makes difficult constructs accessible which, I believe, will stimulate a modern debate about an ancient topic. Just the book I have been waiting for!' Gabriele Jordan, Newcastle University'This book will stimulate young scientists to look at art and to apply their thinking to it. A pleasure to read.' Al Rees, Royal College of Art'… effectively merges the art and science sides of our visual experience … I recommend this book.' Amy Ione, Director, The Diatrope Institute'This is excellent material for lively discussions and much thought.' PerceptionTable of Contents1. Art through history; 2. Art and the eye; 3. Art and the brain; 4. Perceiving scenes; 5. Perceiving pictures; 6. Motion in art; 7. Colour in art; 8. Visual aesthetics and art; 9. Visual aesthetics and nature; 10. Evolution and art.
