I'm trying to get a better feel for the use of
Leont'ev's notion of appropriation in contemporary
neo-Vygotskyan theorizing. I've read the excellent
summary of the idea in the Construction Zone, and
I'm looking through Leont'ev's book now. I would
appreciate suggestions of other sources that not
only explain, but also contextualize, the current
usage.
Thanks in advance.

PS. I hope the summer quiet on XMCA means everyone
is having a restful and enjoyable holiday.
