My favourite topic, Jenna.The idea of a "cell" comes from Johann Gottfried Herder via Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Hegel to Marx and thus to Vygotsky.
For Herder = "Schwerpunkt" For Goethe = "Urphaenomen" For Hegel = "Begriff" or Concept For Marx = "cell" For Vygotsky= "unit of analysis" I have written a book on this topic available from http://www.brill.nl/default.aspx?partid=227&pid=34857 Or you can get most of this on the cheap from my home page: http://home.mira.net/~andy/works/index.htm selecting relevant-looking articles from mid-2009 Andy Jenna McWilliams wrote:
There's a lot to unpack in this passage (and for anyone who's interested in reading "Is there a Vygotskian philosophy after Marx?", You can grab the .pdf of it here), but what I'm most interested in at the moment is how to think of the "cell" in Vygotsky's approach. Can anyone help elucidate how this idea plays out in his writings, methodology, or efforts toward a cultural psychology?Thanks in advance! jenna
