Appropriating Activity Theory #18: Revisiting and Rebuilding a Theoretical Tradition
This post is part of the "Appropriating Activity Theory" series, which reflects my creative journey of engaging with Activity Theory from 2015 to 2026.
Weave 2.0: Synchronic Line, Diachronic Line, and Living Coordinate
The two lines come from the Weave knowledge system; the Living Coordinate is what their intersection produces within the World of Activity Approach; and each such coordinate opens onto a Thematic Space
Weave the Method: Part and Whole, Synchrony and Diachrony, Inside and Outside
This article reviews the three chapters that constitute Part 6, identifies the structural tensions that run through all three, and draws out what this convergence reveals
How to Navigate the Symbolic Universe: Three Principles of Spatial Heuristics
how does one actually use GO Square to locate, analyze, and trace the movement of concept systems?
Unit of Analysis, Level of Analysis, and Configurational Theory
The central argument is simple: "unit of analysis" operates differently in four distinct positions within the knowledge ecology of a theoretical tradition.
GO Square: Mapping the Symbolic Universe
This article introduces GO Square, an operational framework for systematically mapping the Symbolic Universe—the intersection of the Cultural System and the Historical System.
Methodological Empathy: The HITED Framework and the Theory-Method Fit
Applying the RR practice to my 2022 HITED article reveals what was already present in that work and what was missing.
Generative Confluence: Theoretical Activity, Theoretical Enterprise, and Theoretical Platform
In May 2026, I recognized that the trio of concepts I had recently developed — Theoretical Activity, Theoretical Enterprise, and Theoretical Platform — was itself a product of a smaller, nested confluence.
The Aspects - Approaches Fit
This article addresses the silence directly. It traces the Aspects-Approaches distinction back to its methodological source, explains what Weave-the-Theory adds to that source...
