Interventionswissenschaft hat das Potential, nachhaltige Veränderungen zu ermöglichen. Roland J. Schuster gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in Theorie, Praxis und Entstehungsgeschichte dieser besonderen Form der Wissenschaft. Aus trans- und interdisziplinärer Sicht widmet der Band sich der Bedeutung von Wissen und Bewusstsein in Bezug auf die menschliche Wahrnehmung und Kommunikation. Sieben Forschungsbeispiele zeigen auf, wie Veranstaltungsdesign, didaktische Interventionen oder Gruppenreflexionen neue Wege öffnen können - für ein Mehr an Kreativität in Praxis, Forschung und Lehre.

Across several intellectual disciplines there exists a tension between an appreciation of the cognitive capacities that all humans share and a recognition of the great variety in their manifestations in different individuals and groups. In this book G. E. R. Lloyd examines how, while avoiding the imposition of prior Western assumptions and concepts, we can reconcile two conflicting intuitions: that all humans share the same basic cognitive capacities and yet their actual manifestations in different individuals and groups differ appreciably. Lloyd investigates the cultural viability of analytic tools we commonly use (such as the contrasts between the literal and the metaphorical, between myth and rational account, and between nature and culture themselves) and the categories that we employ to organize human experience (like mathematics, religion, law, and aesthetics). The end result is a robust defence, within limits, of the possibilities of mutual intelligibility—one which recognizes both the diversity in the manifestations of human intelligence and the need to revise our assumptions in order to achieve that understanding.

We remember in social contexts. We reminisce about the past together, collaborate to remember shared experiences, and, even when we are alone, we remember in the context of our communities and cultures. Taking an interdisciplinary approach throughout, this text comprehensively covers collaborative remembering across the fields of developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, discourse processing, philosophy, neuropsychology, design, and media studies. It highlights points of overlap and contrast across the many disciplinary perspectives and, with its sections on'Approaches of Collaborative Remembering'and'Applications of Collaborative Remembering', also connects basic and applied research. Written with late-stage undergraduates and early-stage graduates in mind, the book is also a valuable tool for memory specialists and academics in the fields of psychology, cognitive science and philosophy who are interested in collaborative memory research.
