Re: [xmca] Activity and interpsychological aspects of CHAT



I suppose one of my basic issues is whether there is a specifically CHAT theory of power and if so, what it looks like.

I guess I don't very much like the use of the words "education" and "training" in these situations. A bit like those places people would be sent for "re-education" in China. In Bolivia you say they are wanting to "educate" campesinos into supporting a type of irrigation which does not yet exist. As to habitat etc., I imagine Cambodian farmers would like the kind of wealth which we have achieved by obliterating the habitat. With so many conflicting interests, it seems to me more about power than education.

It's not the same one as the article for discussion.
