The Concept of Dialogical CO-Zone of Proximal Development: Intergenerationality in the Making

In this paper I elaborate on the concept of dialogical Co-ZPD proposed in the conclusion of a paper by (Boulanger et al., in Integrative Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, 54, 269-285, 2020). I do this by insisting on potentiality as one of its main dimension. I situate it amidst generations and across timelines in a dialogical perspective and I try to set it in irreversible time. I display the positioning dynamics by which children and elders overcome one another's limits in a fluid matters, through dialogical intercourse. I provide different examples from the analysis of elders' discourses.
