物质世界中的社会变革提供了对社会变革及其解释的新的实践理论描述。扩展作者早期对社会生活的描述，并借鉴关于事件、过程和变化的一般观点，本书将社会变化概念化为实践和物质安排的重大差异的配置。这本书以波旁威士忌蒸馏历史和当代生活中数字媒介协会的形成和演变为例，认为活动链联合收割机与物质事件和过程相结合，导致社会变革。因此，本书强调了社会的物质维度对于社会现象的构成、决定和解释的重要性，以及理解这些现象所需的空间类型。这本书还挑战了权力，依赖，关系，机制和个人行为等关键现象的解释意义。因此，它将吸引社会学家，地理学家，组织研究学者，以及其他对社会生活和社会变革感兴趣的人。
Social Change in a Material World offers a new, practice theoretical account of social change and its explanation. Extending the author’s earlier account of social life, and drawing on general ideas about events, processes, and change, the book conceptualizes social changes as configurations of significant differences in bundles of practices and material arrangements. Illustrated with examples from the history of bourbon distillation and the formation and evolution of digitally-mediated associations in contemporary life, the book argues that chains of activity combine with material events and processes to cause social changes. The book thereby stresses the significance of the material dimension of society for the constitution, determination, and explanation of social phenomena, as well as the types of space needed to understand them. The book also challenges the explanatory significance of such key phenomena as power, dependence, relations, mechanisms, and individual behavior. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, geographers, organization studies scholars, and others interested in social life and social change.
