This short article introduces the Special Issue ‘Renewing Theories of Practice and Reappraising the Cultural’. We first discuss the ‘practice turn’ in the sociology of consumption. We introduce three lacunae that advocates have identified in contemporary theories of practice that animate the contributions of the Special Issue: around the theorisation of culture, economy and the reflexive individual. We go on to discuss the place of culture in the ‘practice turn’, and its relations to cultural sociology. We then appraise some recent attempts at resolution. Lastly, we summarise the individual contributions to the Special Issue.

这篇短文介绍了特刊“更新实践理论和重新评估文化”。我们首先讨论消费社会学中的“实践转向”。我们介绍了倡导者在当代实践理论中发现的三个漏洞，这些漏洞激发了特刊的贡献：围绕文化、经济和反思性个体的理论化。我们继续讨论文化在“实践转向”中的位置，以及它与文化社会学的关系。然后，我们评估了最近的一些解决尝试。最后，我们总结了对特刊的个人贡献。
