Abstract
As far as I am aware, no clear and unequivocal description of the concept of sociogenesis exists. Sometimes one refers to the historical-societal development of human action and knowledge, and at other times to the interactional processes in human development, and still on other occasions to the social construction of individual and collective representations. I will not discuss the problem of disentangling such definitions or the difficulties of finding a language with which to formulate satisfactory perspectives in this field. I will simply mention what is the point for me: if we may assume that subject-forms always represent particular historical figures, how can we understand the processes which constitute subjects according to the “dominant fashions,” and in what ways do such processes co-produce the forms and contents of ontogenesis?
