Practice theories
• practice theories are a set
of conceptual tools and
methodologies for
investigating, analysing,
and representing
everyday practices
Davide Nicolini (2013)
Davide Nicolini (2013)
• Practices as physical and material actions
– performance, work, activities and activity systems
• Practices embedded in knowledge, meaning and discourse
– language and discourses
• Practices formed through human conflict and politics
– Power and solidarity are constitutive elements of all practices (e.g. PostMarxian Praxis)
The theory of
practice architectures
(Kemmis & Grootenboer 2008)
• study of practices in terms of
– the material-economic preconditions (‘doings’)
– the cultural-discursive preconditions (‘sayings’)
– the social-political preconditions (‘relatings’ )
Practice
– Human activity, where arrangements of action and
activities (doings), arrangrements of discourses
(sayings) and arrangements of relationships
(relatings) ’hang together’
