Mind Culture and Activity

Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed articles that examine the relationships between the human mind, the sociocultural environments they inhabit, and the way that mind and culture are constituted in a wide variety of human activities. We seek to promote dialogue among different schools of thought about these relationships, and encourage both interdisciplinary and international contributions. Particular emphasis is placed upon empirical research grounded in theoretical approaches that locate culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human experience and research that attends to the methodological problems associated with the analysis of human action in everyday activities. When empirical results are part of a submission, the journal typically publishes research that is primarily qualitative. Submissions are to be grounded in social theory, in particular Cultural-historical Activity Theory, although other theoretical approaches are welcome if they are interesting to the readership. We consider several types of articles: substantial contributions that present theoretical research or syntheses of theoretical and empirical research devoted to a significant topic (up to 8,000 words); commentaries responding to articles published in MCA (up to 2,500 words); and creative works (up to 2,500 words). We also include book reviews commissioned by the Editors (up to 2,000 words), and shorter book notes. Please keep in mind when you are preparing a manuscript that our readership includes anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, linguists, educators, and interdisciplinary scholars. Please avoid jargon that is familiar only to researchers in one field. All submissions will be blind reviewed. To facilitate reviewing, a separate cover page with the author's name, affiliation, electronic mail address, and telephone number must accompany each manuscript. This information should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript.

Mind Culture and Activity期刊中文简介

心智、文化和活动(MCA)是一个国际论坛，供发表同行评议的文章，研究人类心智之间的关系、人类所处的社会文化环境，以及心智和文化在各种人类活动中的构成方式。我们寻求促进不同学派之间关于这些关系的对话，并鼓励跨学科和国际贡献。特别强调以理论方法为基础的实证研究，这些理论方法将文化和活动置于理解人类经验的尝试和研究的中心，这些研究关注与分析日常活动中人类行为相关的方法论问题。当实证结果是论文的一部分时，该杂志通常发表的研究主要是定性的。提交的论文必须以社会理论为基础，特别是文化历史活动理论，不过，如果读者感兴趣，欢迎采用其他理论方法。我们考虑几种类型的文章:对一个重要的主题(多达8000字)进行理论研究或综合理论和实证研究的实质性贡献;对《中华人民共和国管理条例》发表的文章的评论(不超过2500字);以及创意作品(最多2500字)。我们还包括由编辑委托撰写的书评(多达2000字)和较短的读书笔记。请记住，当你准备一份手稿时，我们的读者包括人类学家、心理学家、社会学家、哲学家、语言学家、教育家和跨学科学者。请避免只对某一领域的研究人员熟悉的术语。所有提交的文件都将被盲审。为了便于审阅，每篇稿件都必须附一页附有作者姓名、所属单位、电子邮件地址和电话号码的封面。这些信息不应该出现在手稿的任何地方。
