Re: [xmca] Activity and interpsychological aspects of CHAT
Christine, I think Winnicott's idea was fine as far as it went. He was a
child psychoanlyst. It's use as a metaphor is more questionable. This is
a problem for me in how Critical Theorists use the findings of
psychologists - as metaphor.
Can you explain, Christine, what you meant by "'comunication' in social
relations as outside activity or project" - why and how would people
comunicate if they had no common project or activity? Is that in the
"not yet" and "being drawn towards a need to participate"?
And yes, I am sure you are 100% correct, that "'global' ideological
causes" displace local development transformation." Nothing can be more
destructive than such "global ideological" inervention. Can you give us
some detail?

Dear Andy,
I recently used Winnicot as a start to begin to explore conceptual
tool in a discussion. My impression was that Winnicot 's transitional
object provides an understanding of emotional transition ( and often
of an individual person) rather than acquiring and being transformed
by 'conceptual reasoning' in activity in the acquisition and changing
a psychological horizon related to an experienced predicament.
Separation of emotional and rational is not helpful, and Fernando
Gonzalez Rey's article draws out how personal sense relates to orient
to motive of activity , and from that to imagine goal directed action.
Also his article brought out how much attention is given to
internalising, but perhaps not 'externalising' difference .
I was taken by the discussion of 'communication ' in social relations
as outside activity or project, when encountering on-going activity
in being drawn towards a need to participate would seem to be a
moment when expression of alterity is already a social relation, not
yet motivated in activity, and not yet designing an imagined goal, a
social relation which calls for externalising through personal sense,
in emotionally oriented and also historical dispositional 'meeting'.
My predicament is my understanding is that 'global' ideological
causes displace local developmental transformation without such an
understanding, relevant in sustainable developmental intervention.
I'm struggling in my predicament to situate creativity in
transformative agency.
Christine.
