ABSTRACT
Sites are where certain entities exist or occur, in a rarified sense of “where.” Social life inherently transpires as part of bundles of practices and arrangements. Together, moreover, these bundles form a plenum. It follows that social phenomena are aspects or slices of this plenum. All theories of practice construe practices as organized actions. They disagree about how actions and their organization are analyzed. Practices, moreover, are intrinsically spatial-temporal. This is because their constituent activities take place in or over time and at particular locations or along particular lines in space. Practices are organized by pools of understandings, rules, and teleoaffectivities. The teleoaffective structure of a practice embraces all those end-project-action combinations that are either prescribed or acceptable in the practice. Philosophers once debated whether it is possible for a single person to carry on a practice, but the practices conceptualized in theories of social practice are invariably carried on by many people.
