Re: [xmca] Time in the unit of analysis: Social representations

[Larry Purss <lpurss@shaw.ca>]

Your mentioning of Moscovici's influence on Sandra Jovchelovitch generated a question on another theorist who has been influenced by his ideas. I. Markova and her idea that every communicational act involves a TRIADIC structure of  "Ego - Alter - Object".  I could post an article if others are interested.  
Mike asks how important is the theme of  social representations and Markova's triadic communication acts within dialogue, informative of a CHAT perspective.  Also what are the weaknesses within this approach?
I find the ideas thought provoking.
Larry
