Convergence between the theories of Lev Semionovich Vigotski and Norbert Elias

This study focuses on the problem of the individual's creation of singularity in society, taking as a reference Lev S. Vigotski's conception of internalization and Norbert Elias's conception of individualization. The objective is to identify convergences between the theory of Vigotski and Elias. To discuss the propositions of Vigotski and Elias, the methodology of theoretical exploratory research on the two authors was used. Vigotski and Elias made possible the understanding that singularities are processes and functions present in the formation of psychic and social structures.
