The text intends to expose the ideas of Lev S. Vygotsky about the concepts of subjectivity and the constitution of the subject, from the social relations, in other words, of the other. In this way, the work proposed is based on the ideas of Vygotsky and authors like Valsiner, Wertsch, Pino, Molon and Smolka, ruled in a conception of the human being as a social subject and, therefore, like a person actively inserted in the context that she is enclosed. For much, three categories are focused in this process: the emphasis in the intraindividual functioning or sociogenesis, in the interindividual functioning or intersubjectivity and in the dialectic relation existent between the dimensions intra and interindividual, inside a historical, social and cultural process. It is also pointed out the semiotic mediation as the one responsible for the raid of the human being in the world, leading the study to the man cultural birth, when he takes over the historical legate and the inter-relations where he coexists and acts.
