Greetings for all

Can you help me with one more operational question?
In the English and Spanish editions of the Collected
Works from Vygotky, there are many quotations to
Marx in which we cannot directly know what re the
actual works quoted, because Vygotsky used a Russian
edition of the "Works" of Marx and Engels. Well, I
wish to ask you:

Is there some available index of that Marx and Engels
works quoted by Vygotsky, in which we can recognize
the original titles, in order to map what actual works
he actually had accessed?

I have notice that in stalinist period some Marx works
was not availlable, mainly the young "idealist" Marx.
Do you confirm this notice?

Even you can't help me with this index... more important
would be any help in order to give me clues about the
marxists texts actually read by Vygotsky.

Thank you very much.

Achilles

> > I'm no longer sure that Volosinov was a musicologist. The only thing I really know about this is the reference to him by as a musicologist by Michael Holquist in the introduction to "The Dialogic Imagination", p. xxii, and I don't really trust this, because Holquist is trying desperately to prove that Volosinov could not have written "Marxism and the Philosophy of Language" and it is therefore the work of his hero Bakhtin. In this he is certainly wrong.

> > I don't see much musicology in Volosinov's work, except the much-misunderstood passage where VNV says that the word is a "neutral" sign. This is often interpreted to mean that VNV believed in non-ideological language. That is absurd, and it only shows how very non-neutral our understanding of "ideology" has become.
> >
> > For VNV ideology simply means the production of ideas, and language that does not in some way engage with the production of ideas is hardly language. What VNV does mean is that the word is not like a number or a musical note, both of which have become functionally differentiated and dedicated signs within a specific field of semiosis and which cannot really be used outside of them.
