Critical Perspectives on Activity: Explorations Across Education, Work, and Everyday Life - Hardcover
Synopsis
The last two decades have seen an international explosion of interest in theories of mind, culture, and activity. This book includes a diverse array of theoretical perspectives from international scholars in the fields of education, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, communications, industrial relations, and business studies. Broken into three main sections (education, work, and everyday life) each chapter emerges from an analysis of practice and learning as social cultural participation and historical change in relation to the concept of activity, contradiction, and struggle.

Book Description
This collection applies the interdisciplinary tradition of social, philosophical, and psychological analysis of human learning and development understood through the concept of "activity". It is the first to explicitly reach back to the tradition's original critical impulse within which the writings of Karl Marx played such a central role. The collection is broken into three sections: education, work, and everyday life. Each chapter applies this critical approach to analysis of contemporary questions. This book provides insight in broader societal debates over such matters as the "knowledge economy" and "lifelong learning".
