Sociocultural Studies of MindJames V. Wertsch, Pablo del Río, Amelia Alvarez Cambridge University Press, 28 de abr. de 1995 - 252 páginas Sociocultural Studies of Mind addresses the question of how mental functioning is related to the cultural, historical, and institutional settings in which it takes place. There are three unifying ideas that run through the volume: 1) one of the basic ways that sociocultural setting shapes mental functioning is through the cultural tools employed, 2) mediation provides a formulation of how this shaping occurs, and 3) in order to specify how cultural tools exist and have their effects, it is essential to focus on human action as a unit of analysis. This landmark volume defines a general approach to sociocultural psychology--one that the authors hope will be debated and redefined as the field moves forward. Sociocultural Studies of Mind will be crucial for researchers and graduate students in cognitive science, philosophy, and cultural anthropology. |

Página 14 - Dramatism centers in observations of this sort: for there to be an act, there must be an agent. Similarly, there must be a scene in which the agent acts.

Or, if you will, the stage-set contains the action ambiguously (as regards the norms of action) — and in the course of the play's development this ambiguity is converted into a corresponding articulacy.
