Vygotsky (1896−1934) is one of the great psychology authors of all time, because of his life history and extensive legacy. He is the most popular Russian psychologist, and his works are widely known and actively discussed throughout the world. Based on current lines of philological and historical-critical research, four issues needed for the understanding of his work in context and depth are proposed: (a) the study and recovery of his unpublished manuscripts found in the systematic study of his family archive; (b) the process of critically historicizing the path of transnational relations that the author followed, delegitimizing the partial and hegemonic legacy that has characterized the “Vygotskyan boom”; c) the deconstruction of the figure of the author, whose hagiographic and ritualistic narrative contributed to mythicize his legacy; and (d) the proposal of new alternatives both to the hegemonic legacy and to the cultist appreciation of the author still present in the Russian, American, and Latin American Vygotskian field thinking of this theory not as an end in itself but as a resource of intelligibility for new productions. |
