I am professor of History of Psychology at Federal University of Goias, Brazil. I have been studying Vygotsky for two decades and my PhD subject was emotions and perezhivania in Vygotsky?s work (my profile: https://ufg.academia.edu/GiseleToassa). I would like to ask your opinion in some crucial questions for us! I and Dr. Priscila Nascimento Marques are willing to prepare a translation of Vygotsky & Varshava "Dictionary of Psychology" from Russian to Portuguese. In fact, she would translate, I should only help in the specialized contents. To our view, it would be a great resource for scholars and professionals for its acessible and objective structure. However, we have some questions: How much of this dictionary was composed by LSV or Varshava? Why was it never translated to other languages? Is it the only edition ever published? See below its sole edition that is in our possession. We are aware of our responsability, once that a new translation tends to determine the future of our discipline, and we would like to know pros and cons of this decision. Thanks a lot for whom may contribute to our decision...

From a subjective perspective, every psychological process is /perezhivanie/. In every /perezhivanie/ we distinguish:firstly, an act, and secondly, the content of /perezhivanie/. The first is an activity related to the appearance of certain /perezhivanie/; the second is the content, the composition of what is experienced (Varshava & Vygotsky 1931, p. 128). "This umbrella definition is an ?indefinite definition? (i.e., ?every psychological process is /perezhivanie/?). However, this definition drew from a Psychological Dictionary and reflected the traditional classical meaning of the term /perezhivanie/ as it existed in psychology at that time, having originated from Dilthey, Dewey and James.

I hope you are well. Actually I did not read it all. As one can understand from its introduction, the authors took other dictionaries from the first decades of Psychology as an inspiration to the entries. I remember clearly that they mention the world-famous Ribot?s "Dictionary of Psychology". In historic terms, the Varshava & Vygotsky piece it is undoubtly interesting - one can see how they related themselves to the dawn of our science, especially German psychology. However, some entries are weird, like "genitalia". It raised doubts on the relevance of the material and potential misunderstandings of Vygotsky nowadays. To my view, it may be either a good resource to understand their work or a sort of 'backfire' to our ambitions for the future of a critical Cultural Psychology. The information that I received from another researcher is that Vygotsky did very little in the project. I would say that the entries truly resemble his ideas in the 20?s. It does not express what Vygotsky thought after sticking to the problem of psychological systems, semantic analysis of consciousness and so on. I am even more cautious because Luria and associates never made a move to edit this Dictionary, and as far as I know it is not quoted by others Soviet authors. As you can see, it is a potential backfire, and I feel tempted to look for other translation projects. All the best, my e-mail is gtoassa@gmail.com.

I had never heard of this Dictionary. Thank you so much for this reference! Martin, it was written by more than 30,000 psychologists of 1012 cities. Truly, the information that I received is that Vygotsky did very little in the Dictionary co-authored with Varshava, and that his views are mostly pre- experimental studies of his associates. I think that the historic importance of the Dictionary remains. Nevertheless, it is probably not a good idea to translate it. It may be confusing to a broader audience.
