Re: [xmca] crisis at age 17



Mmm, I think that is c. p. 154 LSV CW v. 5.
I'm getting to that shortly,
thanks David

I think if you look at "Imagination and Creativity in the Child", where Vygotsky comments on the work of Ribot, you will find something apposite. Vygotsky, L.S. (2004). Imagination and Creativity in Childhood/. Journal of Russian and East European Psychology. /42 (1) 7-97.

Ribot, who wrote that if man truly honored its great originators, there would a statue of a child in every Hotel de Ville in France, believes that at roughly age seventeen, every youth sacrifies imagination to realism, and this is the condition for entry into the work force. Vygotsky strongly contests this idea, both because he sees no contradiction between imagination and productive labor and because he believes that it is both preferable and more possible for art to saturate life than vice versa.

    On page 196 of vol. 5 of LSCV's CW, Vygotsky refers to a crisis at
    age 17. I don't know of anything more he said about this crisis.
    Can anyone help me?
