A couple of Danish psychologists,
Bærentsen and Trettvik, did a nice analysis of
affordances from the HCI point of view in their
paper "An activity theory approach to affordance"
( NordiCHI '02: Proceedings of the second Nordic
conference on Human-computer interaction) -- I
have found it useful in my teaching. Sadly, the
paper is available only in the ACM Digital
Library that is not public domain but if
somebody is interested I can send a copy (please
contact me off-list).
