Description

The Dynamics of Social Practice: Everyday Life and its Transformations By Elizabeth Shove, Mika Pantzar, and Matt Watson SAGE Publications, 2012 This book explores how social practices shape our everyday lives and how they change over time. The authors use real-world examples to illustrate key concepts in a clear and accessible way. From the rise of car driving to the emergence of frozen food, the authors examine how social practices are created, sustained, and transformed. The book sheds light on the dynamics of social practice, revealing how elements such as practitioners, practices, and links between them are generated, renewed, and reproduced. By analyzing these processes, the authors demonstrate their relevance for addressing public policy problems. A valuable resource for students and researchers in the social sciences, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between social practices and everyday life.
