  text: 'Sociogenesis addresses a pervasive problem in psychology given by Cartesian
    dualism that assigns the mental an inner locus apart from material activity. Aligning
    ourselves to the ongoing critical discussions of interiorization in psychology,
    we explore the crucial notion of space by highlighting language as sociocultural
    and dialogical activity performed by other-oriented individuals. We discuss space
    in terms of the “language spacetime”, a symbolic, embodied formation of mutually
    positioned speaking and listening selves. This leads beyond the “inside-outside”
    container metaphor and allows for a reformulation of interiorization. Interiorization
    is conceptualized as a continuous series of different, though mutually related
    movements between self and other and self and self that lead to and are supported
    by specific formations in language activity: reversion, transposition, and decoupling.
    Along a short passage of a video-based interview, we trace the reversion of dialogical
    positions within the addressivity constellation of the two interlocutors, their
    interactive creation of a heterotopic spacetime, and the decoupling of one speaker''s
    psychological activity from the concrete here-and-now and the present other by
    moving and acting into this new sphere. Interiorization appears as a movement
    at the border of past, present, and possible future(s).'

  text: 'This article presents analyses of excerpts from a study on writing conducted
    in a dialogical perspective. The study’s material was collected by the auto-confrontation
    method: writers were videotaped during their work and afterwards confronted with
    their writing activities. Microanalysis of the material attends to how inner dialogues
    during writing are “refracted” (Voloshinov) in auto-confrontation. Bakhtin’s notion
    of the chronotope (time-and-space) as the main tool of analysis helps to discern
    the changing contexts and position constellations utterances are valid for. It
    thus sheds light on the positioning movements performed by the writing selves
    through language. The analyses show various utterance movements traversing the
    chronotopes involved, ranging from refractions of movements between the writers’
    inner dialogues and their texts to retrospective imperatives with a developmental
    potential. This “dialogical volume” of speech activity presenting itself in writing
    can contribute to our understanding of the interplay of language and the self.'

  text: 'Based on a cultural-historical and dialogical conceptualization of thinking
    and speech as formulated in Soviet psychology and linguistics of the 1920s and
    1930s, this article seeks to reflect upon a congruent way of investigating writing
    as a cognitive and communicative activity. What has to be taken into account when
    developing a methodology for writing research from a cultural-historical and dialogical
    perspective? Firstly, writing is not separated from other forms of speech activity
    like interpersonal and intrapersonal speech. Thus, inner dialogue and the addressed
    character of writing become crucial notions to be methodologically considered.
    Secondly, contrary to current writing research traditions such as literacy studies
    and studies of the writing process in cognitive psychology, both individual writing
    processes and socio-cultural writing practices as well as their relationship must
    be considered. These reflections lead towards the conclusion that writing is not
    fully accessible to external observation or to introspection. In consequence,
    a suggestion of a methodological approach is given, inspired by the activity theoretically
    informed method of auto-confrontation. The proposed method consists of two phases:
    a) videotaping of a writing episode and b) co-analysis of the videotaped writing
    episode in dialogue between writer and researcher. The second phase transfers
    the writing activity into a new context where understanding it becomes possible.
    The co-analysis makes involved positions audible: positions of the writer and
    of the researcher, of real and imagined readers as well as intersubjective and
    community-related positions. Finally, implications of the proposed research setting
    are discussed and evaluated with regard to the theoretical grounding. An instance
    of the methodology to be sketched in this article was developed in the context
    of the author’s dissertation project in preparation at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität
    in Munich, Germany with the working title «Writing processes and writing practices.
    A conceptualization from a dialogical perspective». The project is funded by scholarships
    of Universität Bayern e.V. and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität.'
