Perry was actually at Harvard, where he set the table for Kohlberg's outline of moral development, which Carol Gilligan challenged by actually including women in the research sample. But Perry did write the attached paper, which my coauthors and I referenced extensively in our study of academic bullshitting. It's pretty funny, as academic papers go. p -----Original Message----- From: xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu [mailto:xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of Huw Lloyd Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 12:44 PM To: eXtended Mind, Culture, Activity Subject: Re: [xmca] Roles and persons On 23 January 2013 17:08, White, Phillip <Phillip.White@ucdenver.edu> wrote: > > Huw wrote: > > The way I understand it, it isn't just roles; it's a social disposition. > > And it's not an explanation as such, but an indication of embedding > concept formation within social realization (or not) and particular > kinds of affect. > > Bozhovich reads somewhat like an account of elder/single child in > which foreign ground is regularly encountered.

I think any reference to psychological function / activity derived age is going to be generalised? I'm fairly new to reading Bozhovich, but I expect her to relate to activity pretty closely...
