Description

Assembling and Governing Habits explores how habits are shaped by knowledge practices and technologies. The book examines three main concerns: how habit discourses inform expertise in managing habits, how habits intersect with infrastructures that combine technical systems, human conduct, and environments, and the regulation of 'city habits' - habits influenced by urban rhythms and densities. This volume addresses pressing contemporary issues such as climate change, waste management, travel practices, and crowd control. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in cultural studies, sociology, cultural geography, history of the sciences, and posthuman studies. Written in a clear style, Assembling and Governing Habits offers insights into the complex relationships between habits, knowledge, and infrastructure.
