Mike:
I will go back and reread the article, but I was under the impression that
Jaan was stating the current condition of psychology, specifically the
psychology of personality tests. I have never been under the impression
that Jaan is intersted in separating psychology from other studies but
rather he is interested in the specifics of how sometimes idiographic
studies are necessary and sometimes nomothetic studies are needed. Unless
context specific to the study of a specific piece of literature an
idiographic study would not be relevant to literature studies. Perhaps in
the future XMCA could discussJaan's "Culture and the development of
children's action."

I had a different reaction, Eric. I find Jaan's work interesting too, but
statements such as "Psychology adamently sets itself apart from literature"
gives away too much. It gives away
a lot of what CHAT is about, for example. It disallows LSV using poetry and
many using the dramatic metaphor and narratology. Sure, it has an
identifiable referent in dominant
practices and institutions of various kinds, but still, such blanket
statements are less than helpful it seems to me.
