 讲座简介： Over the past decades, Practice Theories have become influential in the field of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) research. The popularity of Practice Theories has to do with i) their understanding of the role of agency and structure in processes of social change, and ii) with the fact that Practice Theories make room for the role of material objects and infrastructures in shaping transitions. So far, most of the empirical research using a social practice perspective has focused on (changes within) situated, individual social practices like showering, commuting from home to work, shopping for food, etc. In focusing on these micro-level or ‘small’ social phenomena, practice theories are being blamed for not offering an alternative with respect to the study of social change at the macro level of so called ‘large social phenomena’. In response to these criticisms, there has developed a lively debate on Practice Theories and Research on Social Change in both small and large social phenomena (Schatzki). In the presentation, recent developments in Practice Theories will be discussed for their relevance for doing empirical research on social change.
