The Nexus of Practices: connections, constellations, practitioners
brings leading theorists of practice together to provide a fresh
set of theoretical impulses for the surge of practice-focused
studies currently sweeping across the social disciplines. The book
addresses key issues facing practice theory, expands practice
theory's conceptual repertoire, and explores new empirical terrain.
With each intellectual move, it generates further opportunities for
social research. More specifically, the book's chapters offer new
approaches to analysing connections within the nexus of practices,
to exploring the dynamics and implications of the constellations
that practices form, and to understanding people as practitioners
that carry on practices. Topics examined include social change,
language, power, affect, reflection, large social phenomena, and
connectivity over time and space. Contributors thereby counter
claims that practice theory cannot handle large phenomena and that
it ignores people. The contributions also develop practice
theoretical ideas in dialogue with other forms of social theory and
in ways illustrated and informed by empirical cases and examples.
The Nexus of Practices will quickly become an important point of
reference for future practice-focused research in the social
sciences.
