RE: [xmca] "semiotic/semantic [semicheskyj] analysis". Can you help me?

Hi Achilles!

It is difficult to recommend something without knowing what you already have in your bookshelf. Jim Wertsch's analysis of Vygotsky's semiotics and how to use it in analysis may be helpful, as a point of departure.

Wertsch, James V. (1985) Vygotsky and the Social Formation of Mind. Cambridge MA, Harvard University Press

And many other papers after that ...

Subject: [xmca] "semiotic/semantic [semicheskyj] analysis". Can you help me?

Greetings for all,

Please, I understand that I have a major methodological problem in my nearest research project: "how to understand human making-sense through the concrete acts of a person's speech?". Along many years I had thought about Vygotsky's claim that ""Semiotic [and/or "semantic" = semicheskyj] analysis is the only adequate method for the study of the systemic and semantic structure of consciousness." (see http://www.marxists.org/archive/vygotsky/works/1934/problem-consciousness.htm). But it is not so clear how to proceed "Semiotic/semantic analysis". Then, if you pleased, could somebody help me, shining my mind about the (im)possibilities about somebody really learn *how to do* such kind of analysis? Here in Brazil, close to me, there is nobody working with something in this direction, then I have no local resources to ask for... Forgive me about the naive character of the question, but I really want to learn about.

Thank you very much, once more. Best wishes.

Achilles from Brazil.
