Activity Analysis Network

On the final day of 2025, marking the close of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, I write this newsletter to release a new possible book, Meta-frameworks: The Self-Life-Mind Schema and Other Creative Heuristics, to close a multi-year journey of theorizing creative life.

In this issue (#7), two new articles explore the Activity as Container conceptual deck I created in 2017, and the story behind it.

From November 15 to November 30, I worked on editing a new possible book: Developmental Projects: The Project Engagement Approach to Adult Development.

In this issue (#5), three new articles explore the Ecological Camp Framework, its meta-diagram Tripartness, and the story behind it. I also published a long article about the Creative Identity Engagement Framework, which is part of the Project Engagement Approach (version 3.1).

This issue explores diagrams as tools for both theory and practice, drawing on Lev Vygotsky's concept of psychological tools for mediating action.

Over the past two weeks, I have taken "Enterprise" as a thematic focus of my work, especially the distinction and connection between "Enterprise" and "Activity."

This is the 2nd issue of the Activity Analysis Center's newsletter

The first issue of the Activity Analysis Network newsletter.

This updated logo conveys an essential message: the Activity Analysis Center is not only about Activity Theory but also about the Knowledge behind Activity. This represents the core meaning of the concept of "Activity Analysis."

I am excited to share that I have been working on a new tool designed to help select Activity-theoretical frameworks from an application perspective. This project, titled Applied Activity Theory, is centered around enhancing the ways we engage with and apply these frameworks.
