On the one hand, Andy dislikes the formulation of Leontiev and of Fernando
and of Monica: it won't do to say that objects arise out of needs because
this is essentially circular, much like the dominant view of the ZPD:
Objects are defined by needs that motivate them and needs by objects that
satisfy them, just as zones of proximal development are defined by what the
child can do with assistance and what the child can do with assistance is
what measures the ZPD. That's why Andy says that the idea that objects
arise out of needs is a non sequitur, unless it's tautological. On the
other hand, Vygotsky DOES say that needs should be defined broadly as
anything that is a motive for action (first page, Ch. 7, Mind in Society,
if my memory is right). And Marx DOES say that human beings only set
themselves those tasks for which the solutions are already present or
almost so. And Ruqaiya Hasan points out that the reason why human language
can satisfy so many human demands is that human language is itself the
source of those demands.
How can these apparently contradictory views be reconciled? Not, as Andy
proposes, by saying that there is simply no solution whatsoever. When Lenin
arrived at Finland Station in Petrograd in April 1917, the Mensheviks were
making "minimalist" demands like the eight hour day, land reform, and a
ceasefire with Germany, while the Social Revolutionaries maximally demanded
an immediate form of urban commune, reversion to the commons, and
international revolution. What Lenin did was to put forward a transitional
programme: one that was both more minimalist than the Menshevik one and
more maximalist than the Social Revolunary one, which got to be known as
the "three whales": "bread" (entailing, as it turned out, workers control
of bakeries), "land" (entailing, as it turned out, confiscation of all
landed estates) and "peace" (entailing revolution in Germany). This is
actually why Vygotsky refers to Piaget's books as the "three whales" in
Chapter 2 of Thinking and Speech.
As an American growing up in the rural Midwest, I learned to handle weapons
as a child (my wife learned the use of firearms as part of physical
education in her factory school in China). It's an important and very
useful skill, and it entails a whole set of concepts that I readily
recognize here in Korea (for example, one of my students is complaining
that during live fire drills here they have to arrange for backdrops for
every bullet fired, otherwise they are forced to search the firing range
until they can account for every round). These concepts and even these
skills are, obviously, incompatible with school shootings (and in fact it
seems to me that one of the biggest problems with arming teachers is that
teachers, unlike school shooters, have to worry about backdrops and
collateral damage). They are a necessary part--but only a part--of a
transitional programme to end school violence.
In that sense I think that Harshad is right--it's all about the culture:
the well-regulated militia versus the school shooting gaming culture,
Hollywood shoot-em-ups, and of course a political culture of perpetual
foreign wars which supposedly have no domestic consequences. But cultures
require collectivities, and a well-regulated militia to control school
violence requires a teachers' union defense guard. I don't think that
Andy's example of an off-duty cop who ended up shooting a student is
germane here. Here's an example that is more relevnat. In Chicago in the
mid-seventies, when there were threats against a black brother's life and
family, the United Auto Workers Class Struggle Caucus set up an informal 24
hour guard over his home. We were armed to the teeth, and as a result we
never fired a shot.
