[Xmca-l] Re: Question on Imagination

[Alfredo Jornet Gil]

Really interesting topic, Shannon; just recently Beth Ferholt and I were talking about the relevance of fantasy and imagination in the current context. My sense is that there is more to explore than actually done when it comes to bridging the issue with politics, though I also suspect I may be deeply ignorant in terms of what the actual intellectual landscape is, so I’ll be very interested to follow if you share more of what you are learning about the topic and doing. Ferholt’s work herself may be interesting for you? Also from Sweeden, the work of Gunilla Lindqvist is obviously relevant. Marilyn Fleer just published on Lindqvist’s work in Mind, Culture, and Activity: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10749039.2019.1663215

Hi

In Sweden we have translated Vygotsky’s Voobrazenie i tvorcestvo v detskom vozraste - with the Swedish title Fantasi och kreativitet I bandomen. (≈ Fantasy and Creativity in Childhood)
It is a great book.

Greetings from
Leif Strandberg

Ämne: [Xmca-l] Question on Imagination

Dear all,

I am trying to complete an article on imagination and world politics that brings in Vygotsky.

I was hoping that some of you could point me in the direction of where Vygotsky addresses imagination (both as developmental process in humans AND as life-activity with its political implications). Further, do any of you know of any studies or publications on this theme that may be useful?

Many thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Shannon
