Reflexiones sobre la Escritura a partir de Vygotsky

Abstract

This work analyzes Vygotsky and Luria�s theories about writing and learning to write. Reference is made to the theoretical models of the writing process of L. Rosenblatt and F. Smith. The main purpose is find connections between writing, thinking and teaching writing, with the aim of understanding how writing can be a tool for developing thought and increasing knowledge. It concludes by proposing that writing makes a variety of forms of thought and knowledge possible by demanding a conscious manipulation of language and a reflection on what has already been said or written, in an ever-renewed interhuman (or intrahuman) dialogue in the culture where the language is being learned.
