RE: [xmca] 2nd person perspective



Many thanks, Martin for this very helpful account of Reddy's argument. I don't have time now to give it the attention it deserves but just wanted to throw in my observation that Reddy is particularly interested in the infant's early activity in the regulation of attention. For Reddy, the early emotions of coyness and pride reflect not so much an understanding of other people or even of relationships with other people so much as strategies for managing the arousal associated with attention (the I-thou relationship is, for typically developing children, a particularly powerful affective stimulus). Coy turning away from 'excess' attention and 'showing off' to attract attention when not enough is being offered can be understood as ways of managing one's engagement with others and of course they are also communicative acts in themselves (adults respond to the infant's coyness and adapt or co-regulate their interactions accordingly, refining their attunement with the not-yet self-consciously individual). Joint attention is then seen as an extension from this early self-regulation into a growing interest in the nature of other people's interests. My own view is that the growing awareness of differences in patterns of attention helps the infant to differentiate between others and then, later, to differentiate between others and self, constructing a self-identity out of the 'great-we'. The focus on how different people attend differently to things and events seems to me to be at the core of what we mean by meaning - things don't HAVE meaning, they 'mean' in particular ways to particular people - at least at first. Later we may develop generalised awareness of what we can reasonably expect people to feel about objects and events, transferring the 'meaning' from a property of the person to a property of the object or event.

All the best,

Rod

Monica, Larry,

I think I have a general sense of what Reddy is proposing. She did her doctoral research in Trevarthen's lab at Edinburgh - he virtually pioneered detailed film studies of face to face interaction of very young children, 'primary intersubjectivity.' She's now at Portsmouth U, director of the Center for Developmental and Cultural Psychology.

She argues, following Trevarthen's line, that young children are able to engage with adults in fine-tuned synchronized interactions, at an age when even Alison Gopnik would be hard pressed to claim that they have formed theories of what is going on. Reddy argues that the whole 'theory of mind' movement is based on an inadequate relationship between psychologists and the people we study - one that objectifies them, and turns them into cognizing minds hidden inside bodies. On such an assumption, the only way one can know another person is to form a theory about them. The only way to know anything, in fact, is to form a theory, a mental model, a cognitive representation.

But infants are actively involved with other, and Reddy argues that in participation with others we need no theories in order to understand them. Her methodological claim is that psychologists need to actively participate with the people they study, in an second-person, I-you relationship rather with a third person objectifying stance, rather a claim with which I have some sympathy. She draws, as has Trevarthen, on John Macmurray, a Scottish philosopher with some similarities to Mead and to Buber.  (See, for example, Reddy, V., & Morris, P. (2004). Participants don't need theories: Knowing minds in engagement. Theory & Psychology, 14(5), 647-665. doi:10.1177/0959354304046177)

But her theoretical point is that we see in young children a participatory understanding of other people. And that this leads to an understanding, presumably also participatory, of self. That's where I get a bit confused. For one thing, an it seems more accurate to describe the infant as being in a 'we' relationship (first person plural) rather than an I-thou relationship. LSV called infancy the time of the 'great-we,' the we before an I. He proposed that the infant experiences communality with others before she has consciousness of her own existence as a differentiated and separated “I.” The “we” of infancy does not, then, include the “I” but is the basis for a later differentiation of the “I” as part of the “we.” Infancy, wrote LSV, is a time of mental life without a center. “He lives, but he is not conscious of his life himself” (text on child psychology, p. 233).

LSV referred to Wallon’s research on the child’s conception of the body, concluding that the infant doesn’t at first distinguish her own body from objects in the world; she becomes aware of objects before becoming aware of her body. The infant first understands hands and feet as objects, learning to coordinate their movements before recognizing that they are parts of her body; parts of *her.*

This suggests that the triadic intentionality (joint reference) that appears around 12 months is a differentiation of objects within the we-relationship of infancy. This in turn implies that the more basic intentionality that Schlicht writes about is not dyadic in the sense of being an infant-object relationship, but is at most an infant-adult or perhaps we-object relationship.

During the first year, the infant increasingly masters this primary sociability, deliberately influencing others to obtain what is wanted. When she starts to walk and talk, presumably this provides a sense, a consciousness, of her agency as a capacity distinct from that of other people. To this point, she has needed other people to fetch and carry for her; now she begins to do this herself. It seems to me that it is at this point that we can speak of the start of an I-you relationship between toddler and others. The fact that the attachment 'bond' now appears is evidence, somewhat paradoxically, for this differentiation, which as I mentioned yesterday LSV calls a 'biological separation.'  The toddler becomes increasingly 'willful,' directing and controlling her agency. One sign of this is the way a toddler will choose not to do something precisely because she is told to do it! This is the age when parents resort to calling “goodbye!” to try to get their toddler to follow them.

But LSV suggests that this is still a differentiation within the 'great-we,' and I think he's right. It is only as the world becomes increasingly stable and objective during this stage, from 1 year to 30 months, that the toddler becomes aware of herself as an independent entity within it. At first the toddler has little sense of herself as a separate being, distinct from other people. She starts to contrast self with the artifacts she encounters, but still in a social situation in which she is merged with other people. The first distinction made in the toddler's consciousness, LSV proposed, is between I and object, not between I and other person. For these reasons, the toddler continues for some time to assume without question that other people will know her wishes immediately.

Over the course of the second year, however, the toddler becomes conscious that she is an entity apart from others - not just a separate agency, but a separate object (a body of her own). Rouged-nose experiments presumably show that she has become an object in her own eyes, so that she can recognize that the image in the mirror is in some sense also herself. And the other side of this self-awareness seems to be evident in secondary emotions, such as shame, which also appear towards the end of toddlerhood. Here the child shows she is aware of being an object in the eyes of other people.

All of this is prior to any capacity to form mental representations; or even, for that matter, to recognize material representations. The latter is something that marks the transition into early childhood at around 30 months.

This, at least, is my rough and ready reconstruction. I'm not certain whether Reddy would agree. All corrections welcomed!
