Saadi Lahlou, Installation Theory. The societal construction and regulation of behavior, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017, 510 p.

Présentation:

Installation Theory: The Societal Construction and Regulation of Behaviour provides researchers and practitioners with a simple and powerful framework to analyse and change behaviour. Informed by a wide range of empirical evidence, it includes an accessible synthesis of former theories (ecological psychology, activity theory, situated action, distributed cognition, social constructionism, actor-network theory and social representations).

The book describes their threefold structure with a new model enabling systematic and practical analysis of their components.
