Welcome to the homepage of the Nijmegen
Cultural Psychology Group (NCPG). This site is in a process
of serious revision. One of the mayor changes that make this
necessary is that the NCPG is no longer bound to Nijmegen.
Right now we are stretching our wings and we will soon be
back in a renewed form. The New Cultural Psychology Group
will offer a forum to broader range of people interested in
cultural psychology. In the meantime all of our papers, abstracts
and other materials will remain available at this site. Please
remember to update your bookmarks. Our current and future
URL is www.cultpsy.org. Thanks for your patience and feel
free to send us any feedback.

In june
2001 the NCPG will attend the 9th
conference of the International Society for Theoretical
Psychology (ISTP). We will present two papers on the
subject of culture & emotion. In our first
paper we will sketch the outlines of an enactive theory
of emotions. In our second
paper we will use this approach in order to analyse
some problematic aspects of deep-seated 'culturally constituted'
sentiments in Dutch multicultural society. More specific,
we will use the sentiments of 'honor' and 'shame' as a particular
case to develop a theory of culturally framed emotions.

psychologically: arguments from history and evolutionary
psychology (Paul Voestermans & Cor Baerveldt).
