This book outlines a theory of development that is based on the general notion of
“bounded indeterminacy”—the development of the system occurs through boundary
negotiations of the ZFM (“Zone of Freedom of Movement”), ZPA (“Zone of Promoted
Action”) and (in time) ZPD (“Zone of Proximal Development”).

the idea. New York: Cambridge University Press.
This book is an in-depth analysis of the basic sociogenetic idea – human beings are
social – in its history between 1870s and 1930s. It represents a genre in the study of
history of sciences that is oriented towards innovation of the ideas in the future, rather
than merely creating an account of the past .
# 318 Valsiner, J. (2007). Culture in minds and societies. New Delhi: Sage.
This book sets up a theoretical foundation for cultural psychology with a focus on the
person. The person is presented as a dialogical self in the middle of the social guidance
within a society. The focus is on the “on line” regulatory processes of the self through
internalization/externalization relationships with the social world that redundantly creates
the immediate environment for the person.
This book is a sequel to The social mind (2000), as it traces the history of
psychology over the past two centuries in its European context. It specifies
how psychology as a discipline was lost in the middle of the fights about
“being a science” in 19th century German intellectual history and its
implications in the 21st century.

Rejected papers
Included here are papers that were summoned by some journal or volume editors, who
at times very actively insisted that their publication projects could not live without these
solicited contributions. Yet, after receiving the texts, they refused to publish them,
sometimes because their “peer review systems” suggested such verdict. These papers
are made publicly available
http://jaanvalsiner.wordpress.com/the-rejected-papers-project/
as they may contain some ideas that are valuable in themselves (only the readers can
decide), and the symbolic act of rejecting them would only accentuate their value.
