The aim of this article is to present the influences that the Soviet historical context of the Russian post-revolution of 1917 had on the construction of cultural historical theory, mainly in the perspective of the creation of a new society and a new man.. The predominance of the Marxist-Leninist vision inspired the thoughts of Lev Vygotsky, Alexander Luria and Alexei Leontiev on human development and learning. We also discuss some applications to the process of teaching learning that historical cultural theory, elaborated in the Soviet historical context, has managed to achieve. For example, the importance of mediation for the learning teaching process; the development of defectology and its influence on inclusive education and the contributions to the neurosciences that had repercussions in the school education.  The methodology used was the bibliographic review. We conclude that understanding the context in which this theory emerges can bring significant contributions to the understanding of the cultural historical approach in our day, such as its potential, its limitations, its challenges and perspectives. The thesis on the importance of speech in social interaction as a promoter of development and the prospective approach of man as a come to be with the mediation of the other, opens a hopeful path for the education of present and future generations.

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre as contribuições da teoria histórico-cultural, particularmente, da teoria da atividade na análise da educação escolar e de seu significado no processo de emancipação dos seres humanos, enfatizando o pensamento de Vygotsky (concepção desenvolvimento/aprendizagem) e Leontiev (concepção de atividade humana e atividade escolar) e suas implicações pedagógicas na formação da individualidade e na prática escolar. Essas reflexões concretizam-se num diálogo com referências textuais desses autores e intérpretes, com destaque para a produção intelectual de Duarte (1993), Libâneo (2003) e Martins (2007). Inicialmente, sob o fundamento da teoria marxista, será demarcado o conceito de gênero humano como ser histórico e educável. Em seguida, discute-se a educação escolar na mediação de processos educativos alienantes, contrapondo-a com a atividade educativa com potencialidades de humanização. Por último, destacam-se algumas implicações da teoria da atividade para o desenvolvimento humano e para a atividade escolar.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Teoria histórico-cultural. Humanização. Atividade. Educação escolar.HUMANIZATION AND SCHOOL ACTIVITY ON HISTORICAL-CULTURAL THEORYABSTRACT: This article has the objective to reflect about the contributions of the Historical-Cultural Theory,particularly, of the activity theory in the analysis of the school education and about this meaning in the process of emancipation of humans, emphasizing Vygotskys (development conception/apprenticeship) and Leontievs thoughts (conception of the human activity and school activity) and their pedagogical implications on the degree of the individuality and school practice. Those reflections accomplish in a dialogue with textual references of those authors and interpreters, with prominence to the intellectual production of Davilov, Duarte, Libâneo, Mello and Martins. Initially, under the foundation of Marxist Theory, will be determinated the concept of human species as historical and teachable been. Afterwards, it is discussed school education on the mediation of alienating educative processes, opposing with the educative activity with potentialities of humanization. At last, it is detached some implications of the activity theory for the human development and for the school activity.KEYWORDS: Historical-cultural theory. Humanization. Activity.

This article seeks to analyze the concept of imagination in relation to other functions of the personality and some aspects of how it has been addressed in school education. The resources and methods used for writing the text involve bibliographic researchof articles and books by authors linked to historical-cultural theory and dialectical historical materialism such as Vigotski, Leontiev, Marino Filho, Heller, Marx, etc. The human capacity to jointly articulate several actions to produce something new is to be fundamental in the organization of the human psychological system. Representing the real in images has enabled artistic, philosophical and scientific advancement throughout history. Throughout the text, we demystified the idea that imagination is something typical of genius people, but rather something that is present in all moments of life. We conclude that although the creative processes of the imagination are vital for human development and have been intensively worked on in school education today,the intentionality that permeates this education has a market and capitalist bias in the search for the development of skills to maximize the exploitation of work. Even if the scope of the educational work for the development of the imagination is to promote capital, we consider that it still impacts the personality and enhances human capacities.

Este trabalho visa a discutir o processo de medicalização da Educação a partir da teoria histórico-cultural. Para isso, abordaremos o histórico das ações da medicina higienista no campo educacional e discutiremos as seguintes dimensões: o contexto das políticas neoliberais na Educação e o processo de medicalização, bem como práticas medicalizantes e sua relação com o desenvolvimento humano. A partir da reflexão teórica exposta neste estudo, podemos entender que é papel de uma Educação e de uma Psicologia crítica compreender o homem como produto de seu tempo e que, por corolário, contribua para a diminuição de práticas medicalizantes e patologizantes, estendendo seu olhar para além do âmbito individual.

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.
