For those interested in pursuing issues of activity theory, I recommend
that you check out the website connected with the AT class that Yrjo
Engestrom is conducting jointly with his students in Helsinki wswhile he is
here in San Diego along with a group of local students and visitors. The
discussion can be found on the web at communication.ucsd.edu/xact/index.html.
(I hope! I always screw up addresses, but that is close).
We discussed putting the class directly on xmca, or creating an open
xact, but with about 15 students on each side writing weekly, we were
afraid to swamp ongoing discussions. Anyone who wants to import parts
of that discussion to xmca or propose reopening xact is perfectly
welcome to do so.
