Re: [xmca] Gita Vygotskaya's orbituary by Elena Kravtsova



Gita touched the lives of many people.  She touched mine, too.
Yesterday, I thought of a question I want to ask her, about her father.

Dear Leif and Mike, you are welcome. The loss of every cultural voice makes
me reflect on how important is not only "perezivaniye" but also
"prozivaniye" , i.e living, experiencing, cultural-historical weaving
cultural-historical psychology in the context of individual human lives.

Thanks Elina for your translation!

And great to see that there is a Vygotsky museum in Gomel, Bela Rus.

Dear all,
Attached please find Gita Vygotskaya's obituary that was published in
Russian newspapers. It was written by her daughter, professor Elena
Kravtsova. I took a liberty to translate and post it on xmca.
Best regards,
Elina

-- I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of it
and it
responds. It is free. But it's not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin string.
