-----Mike, I would like to mention the following semantic connections which I think CHAT needs to pay attention to if we are to talk to the numerous other currents who share our domain of enquiry.
Institution = Discourse (Foucault)
= Practico-intert (Sartre)
= Object (Hegel)
= Activity (ANL, def. by object)
= Genre (Bakhtin)
= Frame (Goffman)
= Tradition (Gadamer)
= Figured world (D Holland)
= Activity System (Engestrom?)
= Social formation (Marx)
= Field (Bourdieu)
which is a dead or solidified ...?
Project for Schmit
for Hegelians like Pinkard and Andy
for Existentialists (Sartre, Heidegger?)
Gestalt des consciousness for Hegel
momentary = context
= situation
Projects & Institutions have as Units ... ?
= Concept
= Action (ANL)
= Text?
obviously none of the = are really =, because they involve different
conceptual frames. Which is my point, I guess.
Andy I thought that was very helpful. Andy, have you done more with this/ In a reply, I added: Thanks, Andy; this is extremely useful. I would add this:Stephen Toulmin: Concepts as micro-institutions (according to my memory, which is less reliable at this hour)
I have something on this in my chapter in the Kirshner & Whitson (eds) book on Situated Cognition. See

Apologies! On further reflection, I can now see that what you want me to clarify, Martin, is the claim that by "word meaning," Vygotsky means an "artefact-mediated action," rather than a property (be it psychological or linguistic) of an artefact.I will get busy on that, Andy
