Children’s Play and the Socio-Cultural Nature of
Subjectivity. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 156
This book accounts for the (inter) subjective
coordination and regulation of one’s subjectivity.
While examining the unfolding and development of
children's subjectivity in contexts of play I address
the following questions: how can the developing
person be influenced(and yet be autonomous)by
socio-cultural actions-systems that are context
specific? Following that, how do social systems of
actions, while influencing the person's actions,
become subjective? Through a careful analysis of the
interplay between collectively guided intersubjective
settings of interactions (children’s homes and a
preschool setting)and the child’s personal
construction of such settings, I aimed at
understanding the social genesis of one's
subjectivity. Analytically, I anchored on a triadic
system (children’s interactions, sociodramatic games,
and significations) to the explanation of the
machinery of subjectivity. This book should help
shed some light on general patterns underpinning the
functioning of the subjectivity in contexts of play,
and should be especially useful to early childhood
educators, teachers, as well as to developmental and
clinical psychologists.
