[xmca] (ism) v (ist)



In the xmca archive there is much discussion about the differences between 
just these two modifiers.  Never settled, perhaps never will.  From a 
linguist standpoint one is active and one is passive. 

Helen; from my own experience when I wrote my master's thesis ( A 
Vygotskian perspective on Special Education Transition Services) my 
supervisor kept asking if I wouldn't be better off making the argument 
from an Ericson point of view so I believe mainstream acadamia is still 
confused about what cultural-historical theory is; however, I believe I am 
safe in saying it is not social constructivism.  Has your supervisor 
specifically stated where they are finding the descrepancies in your 
argument?  In my thesis I wanted to use more Valsiner and Van der Veer 
references but found they did not coexist very well with the Vygotsky, 
Luria, Scribner, and Cole cross cultural studies I was referencing.

Maybe this helps, maybe this muddies the water?

Can I please ask a (probably extremely naive) question? What are the
differences between social constructivism (as referred to in this book
review) and cultural-historical theory? My supervisor keeps telling me I
am confusing my arguments by using references from both paradigms, but I
still haven't managed to grasp what the difference is. 

Thanks,
Helen
