[xmca] Peter Smagorinsky on concepts

[ANTHONY M BARRA <tub80742@temple.edu>]

Does anyone remember that xmca discussion on concepts from last April that
generated over 100 responses?  It's a fascinating re-read, especially in a
single retrospective stream.  I grappled with it last week, alongside Peter
Smagorinsky's new book, *Vygotsky and Literacy Research: a Methodological
Framework*<https://www.sensepublishers.com/product_info.php?products_id=1374&osCsid=1a7>,
before interviewing Peter for the Vimeo CHAT group-page.  Peter's personal
story of appropriating Vygotsky and his discussion of the "fuzzy" interplay
between everyday and academic concepts were particularly interesting to
me.  As were the many true-life landscaping metaphors he used to discuss
concept development.

Anyway, the interview is here

check it out.  *full url:
