Re: [xmca] Innovation as social learning

Hi Andy, (and Jonna) the model proposes that there is a dialectic
between attentiveness and habitus (a ZPD) where agency is situated. It
also proposes that, (if we stick to the idea that what's important is
the relationship, and not the thing per say) then the problem of
intent can be resolved - while there can be intent, it is not
necessary; dealing with change is what matters, not the intent of the
actor. (This opens the door to Latour's actants.)

I'll wait so see if anyone else is interested before posting (or not)
the paper to the list.
