Theoretical and methodological contributions to practice theories -- pt. 2. Zooming in on practices as performances -- pt. 3. Zooming out on practices as embedded entities.There has been an upsurge 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 three important themes: the importance of analysing the role of the non-human alongside the human; the reflexive nature of social science research; and the dynamics of social change. Combining a rich variety of detailed empirical research examples with discussion of the relevance of practice theories for policy and social change, this book represents an excellent sourcebook for all academic and professional researchers interested in working with practice theory.Social sciencesResearchSocial sciencesMethodologySocial sciencesResearch.Social sciencesMethodology.300.72300.72Lamers Machiel926909Weenink Don926910Spaargaren GertMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155250103321Practice theory and research2082268UNINA
