Be welcomed, Rafal
There are others on this list who know much more about psychology in
general and Vygotsky in particular than I do -- but I suspect the academic
season in North America keeps them mostly offline. Either it is spring
break, or it is conferencing season, I don't even know which. Just thought
I'd tell you, so you were not met by total silence. When they sit down at
their keyboards, there should be several participants here who work wit
similar ideas in a similar field as yours.
best wishes

> Hallo Everyone!
>As I'm first time on that list, I'd like to present myself shortly. My
>name is Rafal Dziurla I work at The Institut of Psychology at Adam
>Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland. Nowadays I work on my dotoral
>dissertation concerning the problem of mediation in L.S. Vygotsky's theory
>especially that part of his work describing development of notions. There
>are a group of psychologists in our intitute that share a strong
>fascination of the work of Lev Siemionovich, there are at least about six
>dissertation based on his works at the moment. My own interest is
>oscillating about the fact that in growing number of texts written on
>Vygotsky, the problem of notion development, seems to be marginalized by
>most of authors. Even if they discuss the concept of the ZPD, to which the
>problem of notion development is a basic one. But my opinions are narrowed
>to thet field of literature that I have covered myself. If any one could
>help me I'd be thankful. Not so long ago I wrote an article titled:
>Semiotics of play in view of development of hihger mental functions
>which is to be published in a week or two in the net. I don't want to
>write endlessly now so if some one is interested in reading it I'd easely
>send a copy (as I don't know the site's address yet). This text is based
>on famous article of Vygotsky about play and my fascinations concerning
>some semiotic theories especielly that of Peirce and de Saussure. At the
>end I'd like to mention that a month ago our Institute published a whole
>number of an educatinal periodical concerning our works with Vygotsky some
>of them are translated into English. I wrote as much about our work not to
>advertising it but to set connections to people also interested in the
>fascinating field of contemporary psychology.
