      @text: Building on earlier publications by Harry Daniels, this book
provides readers with an overview of the implications for research of the
theoretical work which acknowledges a debt to the writings of L.S. Vygotsky
and Basil Bernstein. It provides a variety of views on the ways in which
these two, conceptually linked, bodies of work can be brought together in
theoretical frameworks which new possibilities for empirical work. The need
for a creative fusion of the Vygotskian and sociological traditions has been
traced through the publication of *Vygotsky and Pedagogy* and *Vygotsky and
Research*. Such a fusion brings benefits for social science and its
application in education and in settings in which human relations may be
analysed as forms of pedagogic relation such as management, human computer
interaction, etc.

The book includes contributions from long-established writers in both fields
as well as relatively recent contributors to the theoretical debates and the
body of research to which it has given rise. It is an important contribution
to the development of cross-disciplinary thinking in sociology and
psychology.

>> Subject: [xmca] adverbial qualified movement, action, being
>>
>>
>> The discussion of vivencia has me pondering
>>
>>
>> The turn to discussing "vital experience" or being as qualified being [not
>>
>> qualia] seems to be an opening with potential and possibility.
>>
>>
>> Andy,
>>
>> you ask if it is what we "make" of an experience that is determinative if
>> it
>>
>> is "vital".  I would suggest that the term how we "participate" rather
>> than
>>
>> "make" is central to exploring "vital experience".  Making is one
>> particular
>>
>> approach to engaging vital experience.  This is a vital experience that
>>
>> transforms the individual person's orientation within the world.  This is
>> an
>>
>> agentive response that has the quality of being a "personal" decision.  I
>>
>> would like to suggest this is one particular way to intergrate "vital
>>
>> experience in our proceeding along pathways. I would even suggest this may
>>
>> be the particular way forward that is biased as an approach within
>> modernity
>>
>> as an ethical way of life.
>>
>> >From this perspective "vital experience" can be personally "undergone"
>> and
>>
>> through struggle and courageously exploring of personal inscapes the
>> person
>>
>> can change direction and "make" something different of their lives
>>
>> [develop]
>>
>>
>> However, alternatively, the person could possibly be "met" [alterity] and
>>
>> in this "I-YOU" meeting "vital experience" is transformed and new pathways
>>
>> open.  I wonder if this alternative way of engaging "vital experience" is
>>
>> through "witnessing" [as I explored recently] This is another way of
>>
>> engaging "vital experience" that does not emphasize the personal
>> courageous
>>
>> aspect of transformation [as making] but rather points to "being met"
>> within
>>
>> the "vital experience".
>>
>>
>> I've contrasted and made distinct two possible openings of development
>>
>> [transformation or in*formation]  One emphasing a journey through
>> inscapes,
>>
>> the other through intersubjective "holding environments". In actuality
>> there
>>
>> may be multiple flow-forms and interweavings of these multiple strands of
>>
>> "vital experience"  What I'm pointing to is our socio-cultural biases in
>>
>> modernity  to validate the "inscapes" as legitimate [good] pathways of
>>
>> transformation while invalidating the inter-subjective witnessing pathways
>>
>> to transformation.  [as dependency and defended against] In other words we
>>
>> don't really "trust" the other will actually respond to the calling of
>> "vial
>>
>> experience".
>>
>> Andy, I grant that after being "met" [which I believe may be developmental
>>
>> in its own movement] there follow other phases or levels of transformation
>>
>> that bring us back to "spaces of reason" "propositional language games"
>>
>> "agentive stances of *making* ones way in the world", etc.
>>
>> This becomes a cultural-historical narrative of projects and objects and
>>
>> activity.  I also grant "meeting" as I'm discussing it is "normative" and
>> an
>>
>> ethical stance towards alterity [including one's own alterity].  However
>> as
>>
>> a particular form of participation it may have as much validity and
>>
>> legitimacy as the moe courageous form of turning towards inscapes for
>>
>> transormation.
