Are not the implications of Vygotsky's work precisely that the external
"class determined" roles and identities become, through experience,
psychologically internalized and hence a source of subjective perception,
representation and development?
Isn't it the case that sociocultural interpretations of mental phenomena do
not systematically distingusih between "psychological" (as in-the-head
private phenomena)and social (economic relations, power, etc)frameworks?
