Re: RE: [xmca] Request for Panelist Names on CHAT History

I think there are two layers of presentation issues here - the one is a discourse on the history of CHAT, the other is different ways it has been applied

ito South African scholars - there are about 8 people working directly with CHAT, in an applied sense & theoretically - but not necessarily an historical overview.

There might be other people more in touch with what is happening in the rest of Africa

That Cole feller also writes a nice pre-history of CHAT in Cultural
Psychology.
I'll be interested to see how people tease apart what is CHAT from what is
not. In CP Mike talks about the roots perhaps going back to, I think,
Herodotus (450 BC) who aimed to understand the wars as cultural conflicts.
Does he count? Do people need to invoke CHAT specifically to be included?
And since I've seen some weird things invoked in the name of activity
theory, how do you distinguish between a "genuine" CHAT perspective and that
that is not? Is CHAT different from Activity Theory, or other perspectives
grounded in the work of Leont'ev and Vygotsky?
Some knotty stuff here, and I look forward to seeing how it pans out. Peter

Hi
Several articles by Anna Stetsenko are also relevant for the CHAT history
For instance:
Arievitch I., Stetsenko, A. (1989). From Vygotsky to Galperin:
Development of a cultural-historical approach. Storia della Psicologia
[History of Psychology], 1, 111-114.
Leontjev, D. A., Stetsenko, A. & Eidman, E. (1989). Scientific heritage of
Vygotsky and world Psychology. Voprosi Psychologii [Russian Journal of
Psychological Issues], 2, March-April, 171-175.
Stetsenko, A. (1993). Vygotsky: Reflections on the reception and further
development of his thought. Multidisciplinary Newsletter for Activity
Theory, 13/14, 38-45.
Stetsenko, A., & Arievitch, I. (1997). Constructing and deconstructing the
self: Comparing post-Vygotskian and discourse-based versions of social
constructivism. Mind, Culture, and Activity, 4, 160-173

Maybe Anna would be interested to be a panelist?
