Russian term

резюмироваться

Russian to English Social Sciences Psychology children - Vygotsky
Leontiev talking about his own doubts about Vygotsky's shift to a second phase of his theory, which emphasized the "sign":

Общение есть обобщение, требует обобщения. Иначе говоря, это сомнение заключалось в том, что мы как бы возвращаемся к схеме: общественное сознание строит индивидуальное сознание. Индивидуальное сознание, в свою очередь, обогащает общественное сознание, **в нем резюмируясь.** Получается замкнутый круг. Классический круг, скажем, французского психологического социологизма. В этом заключалось мое основное возражение.

The usual translations, "to summarize," "to abstract," don't work at all.

Thanks!

Alla_K May 7, 2015:
Susan, "обобщение" и "резюмирование" are synonyms in this context. I cannot see any problem in using "generalization" to translate the both here. I believe, they mean "generalize" when saying "резюмируясь" here. "Social consciousness is built by generalization of individual consciousness (of many people)" - this is quite a common concept. Of course, you have broader context and might see something that I could not.

resonating therein

Or in it. This is not, strictly speaking, Russian. This is what in the old times they used to call otsutstviye partiynoy distsipliny na mestakh. I say use the above on the strength of the rhythm and similar phonics. The meaning is somewhere there too. I really, really don't envy you this job.

The above link is to synonyms to the word "резюмировать".
Note from asker:
I already used "generalize" for обобщение two sentences previously. :-(

neutral The Misha : That may be so, but it's not what the original says.

The original says "резюмируясь" (резюмироваться = обобщаться, see my link to the synonyms to "резюмироваться") And the source text is about generalization of individual consciousness (of many people) into social consciousness.

Спасибо, Ирина :)
agree Rachel Douglas : I think this is on the right track. Look up "individual" and "generalized" in the book Culture, Communication, and Cognition: Vygotskian Perspectives by James V. Wertsch (pages 74 and 92). Google Books has it.

Thank you for checking with the Wertsch's book, Rachel.

recapitulates

As a first step to unpack this confusion, Egan suggests that we reframe the debate. Rather than debating back and forth between the Platonic program (the “great books”, e.g.) and the “intertwined means and ends” approach of the child-centered, experiential program (a la Rousseau and Dewey), Egan offers a way out – a revamped theory of recapitulation blended with insights of the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky. In this way, as we shall see below, recapitulation provides a useful framework for rethinking the goals and methods of education and human development. “Education”, proposes Egan, “…can best be understood as a process in which the individual recapitulates the kinds of understanding developed in the culture’s history (p.73).”

To identify what exactly is recapitulated in the developing individual, Egan turns to Vygotsky. Vygotsky's notion is that ...

John R. Morss - 1990 - ‎Psychology
Thus the theory of recapitulation reappeared even in the context of highly functionalist ... But the more direct heir to the Biihler approach was the developmentalist to whom we now turn: Lev Vygotsky.
Note from asker:
Thanks, but from your references, this pertains to a specific theory (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) to which Vygotsky did not subscribe, as Morss writes on p. 59.

agree LilianNekipelov : Definitely, but it might be too figurative here.
