I realize this is a gruesome topic -- but has anyone done activity theoretical
studies concerning terrorism?

Is there some theoretical understanding of how this arises as a form of human
action?

Where would we begin? Would Bateson's stick be replaced with a rifle? Would
the animal in Leont'ev's hunt become Bin Laden? Would we substitute Mohamed
Atta for Huckleberry Finn?
