Practice theory and research
Exploring the dynamics of social life
Samenvatting
There has been an opsurge in scholarship concerned with theories of social practices in various fields including sociology, geography and management studies. This book provides a systematic introduction and overview of recent formulations of practice theory organised around themes such as: the importance of analysing the role of the non-human alongside the human; the reflexive nature of social science research; the conceptualisation of human agency and macrophenomena; and the dynamics of social change. Combining a variety of detailed empirical research examples with discussion of the relevance of practice theories for policy and social change, this book represents a sourcebook for all academic and professional researchers interested in working with practice theory.
