>Second Announcement

>Dear Colleagues:
>
>We are pleased to announce that an international conference dedicated to the
>ideas of Lev Semenevich Vygotsky will take place in Moscow from September 5-8,
>1994. The conference will be organized by the Department of Psychology of the
>Russian Academy of Education, Lev Vygotsky National Foundation, the Institute
>of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Psychology
>of the Russian Academy of Education, Moscow State University, and the Moscow
>Institute of Psychology and Psychotherapy.
>
>Vygotsky, who has been labeled the "Mozart of Psychology," is perhaps the most
>influential and appreciated Russian psychologist of the twentieth century.
>Even
>today, 60 years after his death at the age of 37, his ideas play an important
>role in many areas of developmental, educational, general, abnormal, and social
>psychology, as well as in some areas of psychotherapy. Moreover, his ideas
>have
>been extended and developed in many other disciplines, such as the history and
>theory of art, anthropology, semiotics, and education.
>
>The main goals of the conference are to bring together scholars from Russia and
>other countries to compare our understanding of Vygotsky's ideas, to share
>recent findings, and to organize a dialogue on research topics. We are
>particularly interested in providing opportunities for participants to engage
>in
>the kinds of extended, informal discussions that can result in future
>collaboration. We plan to publish a volume of papers presented at the
>conference in Russian and in English.
>
>Among the topics we are planning to discuss are:
>
> - Vygotsky and contemporary psychology: Vygotsky's heritage in
> Russia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America,
>Africa,
> and the U.S.;
> - The holistic approach to human nature and Vygotsky's
> cultural-historical theory;
> - Vygotsky's ideas in cross-cultural psychology, political
>psychology,
> and studies of ethnicity and culture;
> - Vygotsky and linguistic, psycholinguistic, and sociolinguistic
> analysis;
> - Vygotsky and the humanistic perspective in psychology and related
> fields;
> - Vygotskian ideas in education, literary analysis, and literacy.
>
>To date, the list of invited speakers and honored guests includes: J. Bruner,
>G.L. Vygotskaya, V.V. Ivanov, K. Amano, M. Holquist, V.V. Davydov,

>expenses for participants who are graduate students or untenured faculty.
