[xmca] Appologizing



Greetings for all,

I must appologize because something that I did wrong, impulsivelly, or without asking for any more experient people before. It's about a digitalization fo a Vygotsky's book, published in English. Let me put the things in historical context, because is only in this way that we can understand something. Some months ago I was studying my exemplar of "The teaching about emotions" that I buy by internet, etc. - cause we don't have a Portuguese version, etc. And I turned interested in Chabrier's work quoted with many positive valuations by Vygotsky. Then I posted a topic here in order to learn more about this author. This was interesting because originate a long discussion around the matter of Emotions, not only about Vygotsky's contribution but several important refletions from history, antropology, sociology, phylosophy, and so on. And I noted that many people in XMCA do not have the text "Teaching about emotions" and the discussion about the own Vygotsky's considerations turns a little limited because this... Then I did, by myself, without any guilt for anybody but mine, a digitalization and send to Andy Bluden in order to he make a revision, we thought that this sharing act will be not problem for the communitie, but a gesture of solidary scientific cooperation. I agree with Dorothy concerns about the credits of the English source, of course, but the final format was not under my responsability. Even so, I understood nobody acted with evil inttentions... This was not for comercial porposes, never - and of course everybody prefers to have the hard book if can buy it. Of course, for my personal use I already had the own book, hard cover, it's wonderful. But is very interisting when you have more people reading the same, to you discuss and think better about... 

Against who could be something like this? I don't know. But stay sure that never I will do something like this in future again here to you.

I wonder if I must unsubscribe the list. But I feel that this not necessary, except the responsibles decide so. If not I can continue listenning to you, in silence, and not cause any disturbance anymore.

Then, please forgive me something.

Best wishes.

Thank you for all that you did for me, since the beggining.

> Of course I never was reffering to Vygotsky's family, when I talk about capitalist editorial market interests. If the publishers do notcontribute to the family there is one more reason to criticize their practices.
> I only didn't not understand what is the restriction to share something that was important to people enlightment... It is not good that peoplearound the world could read Vygotsky? I never wonder that this simplegesture of sharing something good with people here will be somethingreproachable... or specially excepcional...
> There are many free e-books from Vygotsky's works at internet, the Russian titles are the more available. And I think that is importantthat this happening... The same about Aristotle, Spinoza, Marx, and many others. How could be different?

I am in a total cloud of confusion.......

Vygotsky, Volume 6 (in English), I am confused with what is happening....sorry, I am busy, so my question is perhaps answered.....I thought we were receiving a new article from Vygotsky on emotions, something new Achilles found. It sounded wonderful. And, in the title, I was still excited about something new: The Teaching About Emotions Historical-Psychological Studies Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (1931-1933). Now, it looks like it is only a copy of Volume 6 of the Collected Works, pp. 71-235; however, this reference is not listed in the information that was sent out initially (later, yes), nor is it posted on Marxists.org. Then, did Achilles change some of the wording of the text? I just don't have the time to compare....Of course, I am assuming anyone can scan and send out chapters of The Collected Works of L. S. Vygotsky…..I am assuming that the entire Collected

Sorry. Perhaps I do not have the full picture….I am, however, assuming that Achilles did not take the translated material in Vol. 6, in English, and change the wording of that material. Correct? Thanks. Yours in amazement,
