Ellice has given a nice list of articles by Robert Sigler who as used this concept extensively in his work. I agree that Jim Wertsch's book provides a good source for the overall set of ideas, but for contemporary work a good strategy might be to go to Amazon, choose books with Jaan Valsiner's name on them, look inside and search on microgenesis. Jaan has a gazillion edited/authored books where contemporary work using this concept can be found. mike On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 12:26 PM, Larry Purss <lpscholar2@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Greg > > I'm wondering if your explorations of microgenesis and previous posts > on discourse analysis [for example Elinor Ochs] are linked?? > > I want to share an impression I have when reading *discourse analysis* > ways of understanding.
