This book presents a dialectical theory of collective formation of novel concepts in the wild, in everyday activities, based on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Concepts are seen as contested and future-oriented means for guiding activities and their transformations, and detailed real-life examples of germ-cell concepts show how they can radically influence the course of development in different activities. This book is essential reading for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners across human and social sciences, and is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 492g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 156 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781316516706\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YrjoEngestrom","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46699919671546,"sku":"9781316516706","price":90.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1727467405859_book.jpg?v=1727638520","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/concept-formation-in-the-wild-9781316516706","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
