TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a historical, material theory of social practice that integrates the study of persons, local practice, and long-term historically institutionalized struggles, and drew on the work of Vygotsky, Bakhtin, and Mead to develop this approach to history-in-person.
Abstract: Working collaboratively, we and others have developed a historical, material theory of social practice that integrates the study of persons, local practice, and long-term historically institutionalized struggles. We have drawn on the work of Vygotsky, Bakhtin, and Mead to develop this approach to “history-in-person”. Social Practice Theory, like Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) takes activity as a central focus. But, in contrast to CHAT, social practice theory emphasizes the historical production of persons in practice, and pays particular attention to differences among participants, and to the ongoing struggles that develop across activities around those differences. Through Holland’s ethnographic work on environmental groups in the Southeastern United States, we show the integration of emotion, motivation, and agency into cultural-historical activity theory by means of Vygotskian and Bakhtinian inspired ideas concerning “history-in-person”. Lave’s research focuses on tension, conflict and difference in participation in cultural activities in an old port wine merchant community in Porto, and looks to both local and trans-local institutional arrangements and practices for explanations.

TL;DR: Staggenborg as mentioned in this paper traces the development of the pro-choice movement from its origins through the 1980s and shows how a small group of activists were able to build on the momentum created by other social movements of the 1960s to win their cause-the legalization of abortion in 1973-and argues that professional leadership and formal organizational structures, together with threats from the anti-abortion movement and grass-roots support enabled the prochoice movement to remain an active force even after their primary goal had been achieved.
Abstract: In this highly-praised analysis of the controversial pro-choice movement, Suzanne Staggenborg traces the development of the movement from its origins through the 1980s. She shows how a small group of activists were able to build on the momentum created by other social movements of the 1960s to win their cause-the legalization of abortion in 1973-and argues that professional leadership and formal organizational structures, together with threats from the anti-abortion movement and grass-roots support, enabled the pro-choice movement to remain an active force even after their primary goal had been achieved.
