Description

Activity theory holds that the human mind is the product of our interaction with people and artifacts in the context of everyday activity. Acting with Technology makes the case for activity theory as a basis for understanding our relationship with technology. Victor Kaptelinin and Bonnie Nardi describe activity theory's principles, history, relationship to other theoretical approaches, and application to the analysis and design of technologies. The book provides the first systematic entry-level introduction to the major principles of activity theory. It describes the accumulating body of work in interaction design informed by activity theory, drawing on work from an international community of scholars and designers. Kaptelinin and Nardi examine the notion of the object of activity, describe its use in an empirical study, and discuss key debates in the development of activity theory. Finally, they outline current and future issues in activity theory, providing a comparative analysis of the theory and its leading theoretical competitors within interaction design: distributed cognition, actor-network theory, and phenomenologically inspired approaches.

Victor Kaptelinin is Professor in the Department of Informatics at Umeå University, Sweden.

Bonnie A. Nardi is Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述

活動理論認為人類的思想是我們在日常活動中與人和物品互動的產物。《與科技互動》提出活動理論作為理解我們與科技關係的基礎。維克多·卡普特林和邦妮·納迪描述了活動理論的原則、歷史、與其他理論方法的關係,以及其在技術分析和設計中的應用。該書是對活動理論主要原則的首次系統入門介紹。它描述了活動理論在互動設計中的累積工作,並借鑒了來自國際學者和設計師社區的研究成果。卡普特林和納迪探討了活動的對象概念,描述了它在實證研究中的應用,並討論了活動理論發展中的關鍵辯論。最後,他們概述了活動理論的當前和未來問題,並對互動設計中的理論競爭對手進行了比較分析:分散認知、行動者網絡理論和現象學啟發方法。
