| Summary: | It has been a long time since I have read a book as rich in implications for the thinking of a cultural studies scholar as the work by Agata Skórzyńska is. Disputes on the identity of the discipline, on the relationships built between the theoretical aspect of studies on culture and cultural animation, and the project-like character of studying culture, have not ceased for the last two decades. Why do I, therefore, believe that Praxis and the Citybrings a fresh perspective? Firstly, it is because the author, in combing through the modern and classical thought from the field of humanities and social sciences, almost always finds those ‘tangles’ of practice, their characteristic openness and heterogeneity, which persuade the reader that embodied and situated knowledge is not only possible, but also cognitively more effective than text-centric ‘disregarding knowledge’. Secondly, it is because the analysis of classic social thinkers carried out by Skórzyńska reveals that established notions, such as ‘habitus’, still hold many uncovered semantic innovations, projecting for us, as scholars of culture, the aims of activities, and investing in our agency.
