Tikhomirov Activity theory, transformation of work, and information systems design / Kari Kuutti Innovative learning in work teams: analyzing cycles of knowledge creation in practice / Yrjö Engeström Object relations theory and activity theory: a proposed link by way of the procedural sequence model / Anthony Ryle The concept of sign in the work of Vygotsky, Winnicott, and Bakhtin: futher intergration of object relations theory and activity theory / Mikael Leiman From addiction to self-governance / Anja Koski-Jännes Notes:

Summary: Activity theory is an interdisciplinary approach to human sciences that originates in the cultural-historical psychology initiated by Vygotsky, Leont'ev, and Luria. It takes the object-oriented, artifact-mediated collective activity system as its unit of analysis, thus bridging the gulf between the individual subject and the societal structure. This volume is the first comprehensive presentation of contemporary work in activity theory, with 26 original chapters by authors from 10 countries
