“…Furthermore, the values associated with cultural tradition, which are transmitted to the individual during his or her development, are not unavoidable influences—rather they provide a framework of options for action (Boesch, 1980) that is shaped by individual self-regulation (Valsiner, 1994, p. 16). This is supported by the fact that the dominant value orientation of a particular culture is by no means shared by all individuals, that is, the degree of cultural penetration shows great interindividual differences (Nauck, 2007).…”

“…The gradation of worlds 1-3 shows that only on level 3 there can be an awareness that there is a before and after of the individual experience of nature and that nature advances to landscape as a result of knowing accesses. Landscape (on all levels) thus has meanings for humans [176] (p. 100), which are generated interculturally. These meanings may or may not be derived and interpreted properties of nature.…”

In recent years, the study of ‘landscape’ has gained importance in both the public and in the sciences. In philosophy and the social sciences, different traditions for dealing with ‘landscape’ have developed—not least based on a common reference point of Georg Simmel’s “Philosophy of Landscape” published in 1913. In this paper, these traditions are examined with regard to their suitability for contributing to the analysis and regulation of landscape conflicts and for providing answers to the landscape-related challenges of the present—both in terms of science and society—exemplified by the challenges of the energy transition. The central points of criticism are, besides an insufficient amount of conceptual work and a ‘forgetting of the individual’ of philosophy and the social sciences, the reduction of the concept of landscape to the concept of nature in philosophical landscape research.

“…Cultural psychology is grounded in the “tension” between that which is individual and that which is shared, between that which is unique and that which is universal or at least generalizable (Boesch, 2021). “All psychological phenomena are unique, therefore you have to generalize from uniqueness rather than repetition” (Valsiner, 2020, time stamp 32:27).…”

“…For example, languages are spoken by individuals, not averages, and yet without a degree of mutual intelligibility the very notion of language would be meaningless (e.g., Wittgenstein’s claim that there are no private languages). Juergen Straub argues that cultural psychological thinking overcomes the individuocentrism of academic psychology without forgetting the subject and their individuality and that this thinking recognizes the limits of any given methodological approach without opening the door to arbitrariness (Straub, 2021; also Boesch, 2021). The challenge of human (plural) individuality (singular) has been called a “frontier problem”:Man is a frontier problem.…”

Meaningfulness beyond Meaning-Making. Cultural Psychological Aspects of the Donor Portrait

Art is a rich area in which to study psychological life through the lens of cultural psychology. While any kind of art can be studied within cultural psychology, in the current piece we argue that an art form known as the donor portrait, and more particularly a subcategory thereof known as the contact portrait, visually depicts core aspects of our psychological lives that constitute matters of fundamental interest within cultural psychology. After briefly discussing this particular art form, we focus on how these portraits visually depict four core aspects of cultural psychology. We first explore how the contact portrait navigates the “frontier problem” found at the intersection of individuality and commonality. We then examine how contact portraits catalyze, but do not cause, the viewer’s emotional engagement. The third aspect concerns the human struggle to make sense out of an unknown future. Finally, we discuss the search for meaningfulness beyond meaning-making depicted within these images and lying at the core of our psychological lives. These characteristics of the contact portrait attest to our human striving towards what lies beyond our current state, something that finds expression in the idea of Schaufrömmigkeit—a pious, humble need to see that which is ultimately unseeable.
