the "impediments" referred to at the end of the quote may be the link --
Elena, who once visited my Vygotsky class, made the obvious point that
impediments (as if external) are developmental gaps (as if internal). There
is no development until the resources we rely on don't work, and that's when
we necessarily reorganize & change our ways, "intertwining external &
internal factors," qualitatively transforming the social fabric of our
beings.

Subject: moRe: vygotsky question
in the afterword to MiS (1978), vera and ellen point to this quote:
"child development is a complex dialectical process characterized by
periodicity, unevenness in the development of different functions,
metamorphosis or qualitative transformations of one form into another,
intertwining of external and internal factors, and adaptive processes which
overcome impediments that the child encounters." p.73 (chapter 5)
and this helps, yet what i'm struggling with are the problems between how
the
previous quotes are phrased and one's like this last are phrased -- as if
there
were some difference/movement/changes in perspective -- is there a place
that
indicates dates of the chapters of MiS?
