Francoise -
I don't recall having seen the Litowitz article, but I did review her
chapter in Forman, Minick, and Stone's "New Contexts..." for xmca some
time ago. I argued then that her claim (in comparing Winnicott and
Vygotsky) overlooked the fact that Vygotsky explicitly addresses
daydreaming, imagination, and fantasy in "The Psychology of Art."
Ana may have more to say about this, since our interests in this area
overlap somewhat.
I did find her explanation of the role of affect in semiotic mediation
within the ZPD extremely interesting. I also agree that psychological
concepts such as transferrence, perspective-taking, role-identity, and the
like have a lot to offer in understanding the ZPD.
More later.
Stephanie

ps - Do you have the citation on the Litowitz article?
Thanks.
