Understanding Practices: Practice Theory and Praxeology

Continuously, the notion praxeology covers the overall science and investigation of human action, whereas PT, in short, specifically covers praxeology as approach in a socially oriented version. Andreas Reckwitz (2002) has contributed to the formulation of a theory of social practices and configurations of the social. Apart from Ron Scollon and Suzie Scollon, other PT figures important to this approach include Theodore Schatzki, Johannes Angermüller, François Cooren, Adele Clarke, and last but not least, Davide Nicolini.

According to Nicolini, an eclectic strategy in PT analysis is common ground (Nicolini 2012). With this view, it makes little sense to search for one overall explanation of what PT is. Rather, PT approaches are a range of approaches whose main interest are to target the investigation of joint activities: the social and the workings of the social. Nexus analysis is one among several of such approaches. Nicolini (2012, p. 214) underlines that a unified approach within PT is non-existent. An overview of PT and its distinct features is bound to be confusing; however, main points are redundant in PT (Nicolini 2012, p. 217):Accomplishments are regarded as social by nature, also when attributed to individuals.
