Abstract

In Mind as Action, James V. Wertsch argues that current approaches to social issues have been blinded by the narrow confines of increasing specialization in the social sciences. In response to this conceptual narrowness, he proposes a method of sociocultural analysis that connects various perspectives in an integrated, nonreductive fashion. Drawing on the ideas of Lev Vygotsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Kenneth Burke, the book traces the implications of mediated action for a sociocultural analysis of the mind as well as for some of todays most pressing social issues.
