Abstract

This essay aims to present some foundations for the construction of a concept of practice in activity theory (AT) from the perspective of socio-historical and cultural psychology to supply the activity of innovative practice and the expansive learning, which is essential for new organisational network formats. Innovation gains importance when it moves towards a constructivist perspective, deviating from the representational views of language and individual dichotomies, to name a few, and contribute to the debate on the links between actors and innovation systems. It examines the dimensions held in common by the two approaches and shows their counterpoints and complementarities.
