A significant number of articles published in Theory & Psychology have been inspired by, or discuss, Vygotsky’s contribution to psychology. However, most of the available publications and discussions on Vygotsky overlook his theory of art and emotions and, more broadly, his view on subjectivity. In this article we offer a reading of Vygotsky’s The Psychology of Art. According to our interpretation, art is conceived in this theory as a social technique for (re)constructing life and transforming bodies; human emotions are dialogical processes, culturally and semiotically created, and historically transformed. Our theoretical perspective differs from some other interpretations of Vygotsky’s work because of its emphasis on the centrality of emotions in psychological life, and particularly on the intertwining of sociogenesis and microgenesis. Through emotions, discourse practices and cultural techniques have transformative effects on bodily reorganization (catharsis) and subjective experience (perezhivanie). This is discussed in relation to the political implications of a theory of emotions and its relevance for the theorization of subjectivity.

情感的对话性和政治性：读维果茨基的《艺术心理学》

《理论与心理学》上发表的大量文章都受到维果茨基对心理学的贡献的启发或讨论。然而，大多数关于维果茨基的出版物和讨论都忽视了他的艺术和情感理论，更广泛地说，他对主观性的看法。在这篇文章中，我们提供了对维果茨基的《艺术心理学》的解读。根据我们的解释，在这一理论中，艺术被认为是一种（重新）构建生活和改造身体的社会技术；人类情感是对话过程，在文化和符号上创造，并在历史上发生了转变。我们的理论观点不同于对维果茨基作品的其他一些解释，因为它强调情绪在心理生活中的中心地位，特别是社会发生和微观发生的交织。通过情感，话语实践和文化技巧对身体重组（catharsis）和主观体验（perezhivanie）产生了变革性的影响。这将结合情感理论的政治含义及其与主观性理论化的相关性进行讨论。
