Dear Mike, I read your joint article in the special issue of T&P 2011 and appreciated the notion of mutual appropriation - I was contrasting with, and have not found myself able to 'project' into 'formative teaching experment' - though this would be another thread. Also in that issue Yryo used a definition of 'intervention' from Gerald Midgley, who I am working with now, his contribution has been to introduce a concept of 'boundary critique' -influenced by Ullrich -into 'Critical Systems Thinking'. I became interested in 'activity theory' after responding to a call for papers for ISCAR 2005 Seville - and you responded! Also in that conference you gave a very moving talk WITH from and back to your audience - I enjoyed that - but of course the 'content' has now gone in memory. It was only when Seth Chaiklin moved to the UK and 'rounded up' stragglers that I engaged 'theoretically', very slowly and with very different values about research, but I got to the question I asked Andy, and still have - in there somewhere-my historical traces to understand my communions and differences etc.. Going back into 'systems' - with the opacity of 're-entry', initial dialogues show appreciation ' we haven't got a theory of activity' :). Though their background has a stong history of community developmental work, and environmental developmental intervention . In using this list serve, my email doesn't seem to 'reply' to messages in the way others mange to- I don't get a smooth 'title' and copy message, so I've not just quite got the hang of this. It meant that I couldn't direct comments - so early on I 'lost' responding to David Kellog on the discussion f the wine and bottles - and also on the talk of recognition. I have attempted to present a distinction of subjectification and 'appreciation' in recent talks - but this is 'unappreciated' with those deeply immersed in the notion of subjectification -- So I read greg's comments and will re-read the whole thread- it went very quickly! Also I can't get an 'automatic' email to open on Bruce's link ( same problem with my hotmail set up) - so if there are any guidelines as to what is acceptable in terms of links to other websites etc please point me there( and how to 'reply' in threads with more focus/proximity). Live links are stripped out , sometimes they are 'accidentally' cut and pasted in haste, - but don't know the trouble this might provoke your server etc. Many thanks, Christine. __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
