Abstract

Activity Theory meets Structuration Theory. We propose structuration of activity as an alternative theoretical lens for human activity and its dynamics. Drawing from the strength of and the critiques to Activity Theory (AT) and Giddens' Structuration Theory (ST), we attempt to recast both AT and ST on the understanding of human activity in the larger social context. We present a brief introduction to AT and ST, their intertwined motive and approaches. Finally, we outline structuration of activity and close the paper with its significances.
