Litowitz offers us a psychoanalytic repertory of affective
aspects of both learner and teacher participations in the ZPD.
Her view of subjectivity is both dynamic and complex, multi-
voiced, multi-Selved. Notions of identification, resistance,
desire, and fantasy are offered to help answer the question WHY
both sides participate in the ZPD, to redress the imbalance of an
adultocentric view of such learning, and to begin to address
questions of the ways affect plays a role in the HOW of learning
and teaching as well.
This is certainly an excellent starting point for members of the
list interested in the role of affect in a sociocultural and
interactionist model of development. JAY.
