Seeing Style (eBook, PDF)

How Style Orients Phenopractices across Action, Media, Space, and Time

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How do social practices shape experiences, and how does embodied experience organize practice performance? The concept of style offers a fresh answer to the old question how doings and sayings are linked into practice bundles. Based on a rich ethnography of freeskiing, this book develops a theory of phenopractices, or embodied cultural practices of apprehending and expressing style. Focusing on the visual dimension, it extends Garfinkel and Schatzki using recent insights from science and technology studies and the intersection of neuroscience and phenomenology. Of interest to anyone working on contemporary practice thought, the sociology of vision, lifestyle sports, or media.
