The last two decades have seen an international explosion of
interest in theories of mind, culture, and activity. This unique
collection 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. Each author pushes this impulse further
to address leading contemporary questions. It includes a diverse
array of international scholars working from 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 builds from an analysis of practice and learning as
social cultural participation and historical change in relation to
the concept of activity, contradiction, and struggle. This book
offers insight into an important complex of overlapping practices
and institutions to shed light on broader debates over such matters
as the 'knowledge economy' and 'lifelong learning'.
