996003 Interdisciplinary Seminar: Working with/on Social Practices (Part II) (IS) (WiSe 2012/2013)

Contents, comment

In current methodological debates among historians, but increasingly also among sociologists, theories of social practices appear as a potential for the reconciliation of some of the most haunting contradictions between opposing theoretical strands: They stand for the combination of structure and agency, the return of the human actor, the mediation between discourse and agency, and for an insertion of “the material” into culture in a form alternative to Bruno Latour’s loudly acclaimed, but limited actor-network-theory. Our seminar will undertake to account for the current state-of-the-art and to localize points of departure for further developments by discussing central texts.

In der derzeitigen Theoriedebatte in der Geschichte, aber auch zunehmend in der Soziologie, werden praxistheoretische Ansätze nicht selten als zukunftsträchtiger Ausweg aus den verschiedensten methodologischen Dilemmata angeführt: als Möglichkeit, Struktur und Handeln miteinander zu vereinbaren, als Tor für die Rückkehr des menschlichen Akteurs, als Perspektive der Vermittlung von Sprache und Handeln, als zu Bruno Latour alternatives Transportvehikel für das Materielle in der Kultur. Das Seminar wird versuchen, anhand zentraler Texte eine Bilanz der Entwicklung zu ziehen und weiterführende Perspektiven aufzuzeigen.
