"Can it be that only 4 people on xmca have an opinion about whether they
consider LSV to be a contextualist?" MCole
I really would like to understand better what american researchers wanna
reffer to through the word "contextualist".
As you pointed before, de(s)contextualized thinking (in Vyg's sense) makes
possible "touch" untouchable things, like atoms and electrons and magnetic
waves etc...
However,
it is not unusual hear people reffer to "de(s)contextualized thinking" as a
thinking with no roots on "history", on "reality", or on socio-cultural
context of verbal interaction...
Bakhtin says, for example, that what really means is not what is said, or
what a one talks about, but - yes - the way she/he talks about it...
It seems to me a very complex question specially when "contextualist" is
thought detached from "context"...
