Life as Activity (version 0.3)
The Life-as-Activity approach is a by-product of Activity U. The Activity U project is a case study for “HERO U” which is a framework for closing the gap between theory and practice. HERO U is a new framework for knowledge heroes who want to make unique epistemic impacts. I have introduced the framework and its diagram in HERO U — A New Framework for Knowledge Heroes.
In the first article of the Activity U project Activity U: The Landscape of Activity Theory (Part I), I used the HERO U framework to represent various development of Activity Theory.
Diagram U presents six types of “Objective of Knowing”:
- mTheory: Meta-theory
- sTheory: Specific Theory
- aModel: Abstract Model
- cModel: Concrete Model
- dPractice: Domain Practice
- gPractice: General Practice
I didn’t find some example for “gPractice: General Practice”. Thus, I suggested a term for it: Life as Activity. I considered this suggestion as version 0.1 of the Life-as-Activity approach.
