Culture can be understood not only as special institutions, objects, and specific actions, but also as social practices. For theoretical explanations, this presents a dual challenge: alongside the insights of various scientific disciplines, the cultural specificity of one's own research perspective must always be reflected upon. The contributors to this volume analyze the relevant formative conditions of cultural practices from the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, linguistics, musicology, and movement science. In doing so, they clarify what prerequisites should be in place for the formation of cultural theory.
