Peter--

If we accept that the initially biological
processes of perception, attention, and memory are later reformulated fundamentally
by the acquisition and development of a system that organizes these processes
along cultural lines, why should creativity and imagination be considered
exceptions?  The same tide lifts all boats.

In the article, Smolucha asserts that to LSV, creativity
is a higher mental function. (p. 59) This does not match my understanding
of what a higher mental function is, i.e., a cultural concept. Creativity
seems to me to be a means for developing a cultural concept, but not commensurate
with one. Any help? Thx,p

I got my hands on a scanned version of Smolucha's paper on Vygotsky and
creativity. Enjoy,p

p.s. someone had written a pronunciation key for her name on the manuscript.
A good mnemonic for pronouncing her name: Smolucha lives near Chicago,
where it can snow much-a.
