Synopsis

How does culture become social practice? The volume brings together substantial and innovative contributions linking various approaches such as pragmatism, ethnomethodology, and Bourdieu's praxeology with discussions from science, gender, and postcolonial studies. At the same time, he opens up new approaches to a theory of social practices by subjecting different forms of practice - body practices, violence practices, practices of media reception - to the common question of the relationship of culture and practice. This puts the "practice turn" in the social and cultural sciences as one of their most innovative "thinking building sites". With contributions by Udo Göttlich, Kien Nghi Ha, Stefan Hirschauer, Karl H. Hörning, Helga Kotthoff, Michael Meier, Andreas Reckwitz, Sven Reichardt, Julia Reuter, Ingo Schulz-Schaeffer, Norbert Sieprath, Urs Stäheli and Matthias Wieser.
