what silence?

Folks need something to think and chat about? Here is a question which
I think could use some discussion.

Why is it that in a variety of textbooks, Vygotsky is referred to as a
contextualist? I have asked this question before, and it tends to get
the kind of silence that indicates everyone is busy grading exams or
is on vacation in Hawaii. :-)

I am particularly interested in citations from LSV for this characterization.
That is, the question is not, "what is the relation between CHAT" and
contextualism?" ( a fine question in its own right!) but what evidence do
we have that LSV was a contextualist.

Non-silent in so cal.
