Nate-- Valsiner has written extensively on the issue of organism/context
relations -- contra Rogoff who goes for "inseperable" with a notion
of something like "inclusive separation." The 1998 Handbook of Child
Psychology, vol 1. He also deals there with different ways of thinking
about development that might prove useful.

C.S. Waddington: " Each new level of developement is a new relevant context."

Overall, psychology might be diminished, but development is enriched by
taking some sort of "co-constituting" conception of organism/envi relations.

Alfred-- Are you familiar with Latour's actor network theory and have you
perhaps written about it?
