The concept of social world is given greater analytical power by categorizing differential participation through a typology of social types—strangers, tourists, regulars, and insiders.

Social worlds are also discussed in terms of three qualities of interaction—relevance, accessibility, and receptivity.read more

Consumption and Theories of Practice
TL;DR: The huge corpus of work on consumption still lacks theoretical consolidation as mentioned in this paper, which is most obvious when contemplating the situations of different disciplines, where there is very little common ground (see, for example, the review in Miller 1995).
