Dusk and Auraus and their band, the Grey Riders, have been trying to determine what is happening to travelers disappearing in the Garrend Mountains. Unfortunately, after being captured in a raid, it looks like Dusk and Auraus might be the ones disappearing. This is the first in a series of Mist Gate Crossings Novellas to chronicle some of the events that occurred before Dusk and Auraus and their band, the Grey Riders, have been trying to determine what is happening to travelers disappearing in the Garrend Mountains.

More Details Neither do I focus on the inner with demarcation of the outer. The body in practice theory is not only a tool one uses to express inner states of mind.

According to practice theory, the mind cannot be separated from the body. How we consider who and what we are is related to the ways we treat and use our body and vice versa. Schatzki, like Bourdieu and Giddens, draws on a Wittgensteinian approach to meaning. In contrast to neo- Saussurian understandings, meaning does not derive from difference but from usage and activities: Once again, differences are results, not determinants, in this case of actual activities.

Rather, it arises from actuality: actual relations among entities, and what these entities actually do. Because, moreover, semantic difference presupposes meaning, it, too, is a product of actuality Schatzki , Someone or something holds a position within a practice-arrangement-bundle by means of participation.

Hence, an actor29 is a participant of a certain practice. Schatzki is not quite clear on that.

Hence, an individual enjoys a multitude of wes. The identity of a participant of a practice is bound to the practice. An individual, on the contrary, can participate in many practices. Individuals vary in the degree to which their identity is centered and in how many centers their identity holds.

Nevertheless, I follow Schatzki in his assumption of a chief identity in the sense of what a person understands himself or herself principally to be. In Community of Practice, Etienne Wenger [] develops an understanding of community by drawing on assumptions of practice theory and coins a term that recently has become popular among social scientists. He positions his concept within a social theory of learning32 and deines a community of practice as follows: Over time, this collective learning results in practices that relect both the pursuit of our enterprises and the attendant social relations.

It makes sense, therefore, to call these kinds of communities communities of practice Wenger [], Communities of practices are characterized by social and intentional relations: a certain group of people shares an interest for a speciic issue and works along this issue. Wenger puts emphasis on the negotiation of meaning within practices. Members of a community of practice constantly negotiate meaning by means of participation and reiication. They embody meaning in the process of participation; artefacts of practice embody meaning in the process of reiication. Similar to assumptions in practice theory, participation and reiication as duality to the human experience describe ongoing processes.

Hence, stability of meaning and of the community of practice cannot be assumed. Instead, stability must be explained. Individuals develop competences by means of participating. In this vein, dimensions of competence become dimensions of identity. To participate in the practice of a social community means on the one hand to get involved and engaged and on the other hand to recognize and acknowledge others as participants of the same practice.

In this regard, Wenger emphasizes that membership varies according to the position—for instance, at the core or at the periphery of a community—of the participant. Engagement is one mode of belonging apart from others such as imagination and alignment. A TV audience or newspaper readership therefore forms different kinds of communities, which he suggests we call communities of taste, experience, or proximity.

In line with the latter deinition, it is more appropriate to speak of practiced or practicing community instead of community of practice. And both terms, again, are tautological because within practice theory a community without practice is not possible. This means that every participant of a practice has at least one intentional relation with another element of the arrangement the practice transpires through.

Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1909 to 1922

Communities with a strong intentional relation form a speciic type of community. In line with that, I propose to understand community as qualiied by a feeling of we-ness by means of participating in a practice instead of intentionality. Every feeling of we-ness evolves through participation in practice and every practice has the potential to evolve a feeling of we-ness among its participants.

I began this section by noting that practice theory can be understood as a current within cultural theory. Practice theory, however, transgresses cultural theories in the sense that it shifts the focus from social constructivism and the metaphysics implied to ontology cf. Butler , To make practices the main locus of social or cultural analysis means to analyze events and situations instead of perspectives or representation. Or, as Annemarie Mol puts it, it is not about talk Mol , To understand and to research community as a phenomenon of the everyday then means to leave a reconstructive approach that focuses on talk and discourse in the sense of writing about different perspectives of communities.

Instead, community should be researched by taking into account all the different events or situations people describe and live. Consequently, events with all their elements must be the focus of our analysis. Adele E. Clarke has developed a fruitful way to analyze events and situations.

Therefore I shall—motivated by the methodology developed by Clarke and Mol—discuss the example of the International Street Festival introduced at the beginning. Practicing Community: Boundaries, Membership, and Space Before returning to the festival, I am going to exemplify my idea of a practicing community. For two reasons, I will do so by taking on a different example than the street festival, namely the practice of study and the community of students. First, the student example is complex enough but not too complex to illustrate my idea of community.

Second, I am going to use this example later on in order to contrast aspects of the street festival. The example might be straightforward, but it opens up a perspective of community that is fruitful for other types of community e. How is community practiced? Drawing on assumptions of practice theory as presented above, I understand identity as enacted by people in practices, that is, in the repetition of bodily doings and sayings. The arrangement in this particular case, a lecture hall and the university as a whole consists of non-human elements such as chairs, tables, walls, a blackboard, maybe a projector, paper and pencils, and human elements, such as the lecturer and the students.

Usually, the majority of people in a lecture hall sit close to each other, directed to the front, looking at someone who is usually alone. This is an aspect of the spatial relation that, according to Schatzki, exists among every arrangement. The students are there because they have to be due to study guidelines; this describes a causal relation.

The study guidelines, even if not present at the very moment, are another element of the arrangement. The material elements allow for sitting and writing, for displaying pictures and graphs but they make it dificult to do experiments and less feasible to have discussions in small groups on a subject; thus the material arrangement presupposes action.

The practice of studying involves knowing how to take notes, that is, how to listen and to write simultaneously, how to deduce what is relevant information given by a lecturer, how to prepare for an exam, and so on. It also involves knowing how to the practical understanding behave during a lecture—for instance, when to be silent or when to talk. The action here—that is, the doings and sayings—is not only determined by practical understanding.

Studying is regulated by explicit rules, for instance, by study guidelines and by module plans which prescribe when to attend which lecture. Moreover, the doings and sayings of studying are linked by orientations toward ends and how things matter for the actor; studying is composed of taking notes in every lecture tasks , preparing for an exam project , and effectively graduating end as well as the motivation to gain knowledge or to get a better starting position for a future career, or both.

So we got a close proximity between a lot of people doing similar things and a distance to someone doing something else. The feeling of we-ness and otherness is at hand in this very situation. In line with that, we can speak of a community of students here. Besides, we can also assume a community of lecturers or members of the faculty. The spatial aspect of the arrangement does not conine itself to questions of distance and proximity.
