Hi Sukanta,
You could also look at activity theory as a means to explore human activity from a wider cultural context and their influence. It's a framework that considers the relationship between subject 'actor', the object of an activity and the use of mediating 'tool' as it is used during activity; the ways this is located within and informed by the context of the activity.
I've been using it as a means to investigate the industrial designer's choice and use of design 'tools' in support of design activity. It's more established in interaction design research. A good start might be:
Kaptelinin, V & Nardi, B (2006) Acting with Technology. MIT Press.
and
Baber C. (2003) Cognition and Tool Use. Taylor & Francis
James.

Hi Sukanta
I do research in Visual Communication, so I refer to the Phenomenological
Psychology area very often.
You can find here a list of papers by Manfredo Massironi, unfortunately
only few of them are in english

the University of Verona, Dept. of Psychology and Cultural Anthropology
