Theodore R. Schatzki

Social Change in a Material World (eBook, ePUB)

How Activity and Material Processes Dynamize Practices

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a new, practice theoretical account of social change and its explanation. Extending the author's earlier account of social life, and drawing on general ideas about events, processes, and change, the book conceptualizes social changes as configurations of significant differences in bundles of practices and material arrangements.
