It draws together the practice-based school of thought within research on organizational and workplace learning. And, furthermore, the book takes us in an exemplary way through a case study in which the novel term \"texture of practice\" is used to illustrate how practice is weaved together with the workplace and its members. I will not hesitate to recommend this book to any of my students - and even my friends!\"Bente Elkjaer, The Danish University of Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 From Organizational Learning to Knowing in Practice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Conventional Wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 The Institutionalization of the Field: The Birth of the Learning Organization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Organizational Learning and Learning Organization as a Disciplinary Discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 The Reification of Knowledge in Knowledge Management Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Knowing in Practice: Neither in the Head Nor as a Commodity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 The Philosophical Roots of the Concept of Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 The Sociological Roots of the Concept of Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.8 What is a Practice?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.9 To Sum Up: Two Narratives of Learning and Knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 The Texture of Knowing in Practice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Texture as Connectedness in Action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 A Methodological Framework: The Spiral Case-Study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 The Power of Associations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 To Sum Up: Weaving the Texture of Situated Practices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.On Becoming a Practitioner.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Being 'On Site'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Safety and Silence of the Organization: The Culture of Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 The Knowledge Pointers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Knowing as Aesthetic Understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Conversation in Practice and Conversation on Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Knowledge Mediated By Social Relations, Artifacts, and Norms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 How 'You Learn Nothing at School!'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.8 To Sum Up: Becoming a Practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.Knowing in a Community of Practitioners.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Community of Practice or the Practices of a Community?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 The Notion of Situated Curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Gaining Access to a Situated Curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 How Power Relations Shape Opportunities to Learn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Practicing, Teaching and Talking of It.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.6 To Sum Up: The Incorporated 'Known' and the Enacted 'Knowing'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 Knowing across Communities.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Practices of Accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2.
