Hi Linda--

To start with, it would be helpful if we had some statements where Leontiev,
Wertsch, and others who speak of activity as a unit of analysis talk about
what it means to "carry its own meaning." Seems like Wenger is harking back
to a version of context/activity as container. Perhaps someone knows Ettiene's
email address and can ask him directly?

Short of that, the Lave and Engestrom articles in the Chaiklin and Lave volume
seem like places to start to see both what is at issue and what contemporary
writers have to say.
