Prática é um dos principais conceitos do nosso tempo. Ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, os estudos baseados em prática têm se expandido pelo mundo. A “redescoberta” da prática tem inspirado várias reflexões e estudos empíricos, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento recente dos estudos organizacionais e de gestão. O objetivo deste artigo é, por um lado, de reconstruir o debate sobre o conceito de prática e, por outro, discutir o seu significado como definido nos estudos baseados em prática. Neste artigo, vai ser defendido que prática de ser concebida como um “conceito radial”. Esta ideia, vinda da ciência política, é chave para explore novos universos de significado e para ler e comparar as atividades dos praticantes, o funcionamento das organizações e o processo de aprendizagem coletiva. O artigo vai introduzir o fenômeno do então chamado Observatórios de Justiça Civil. Estas comunidades inter-profissionais representam uma janela única do sistema de justiça italiano. Este caso possibilita analisar criticamente o conceito de prática e destacar seus subtipos: prática experimental, prática solipicista, prática difusa, prática combinada, prática fixada e prática institucionalizada.

Abstract

Practice is one of the key concepts of our time. During the last 30 years, the Practice-Based Studies have spread all over the world. The “rediscovery” of practice has inspired many reflections and empirical researches, contributing to the recent development of the organizational and management studies. This article aims, on the one hand, to reconstruct the debate around the concept of practice and, on the other hand, discuss its meaning, as defined within the PBS. In this paper, it will be argued that practice should be conceived as a “radial concept”. This idea, coming from the political science, is the key to explore new universes of meaning and to read and compare the practitioners' activities, the functioning of organizations and the collective learning processes. The paper will introduce the phenomenon of the so-called Observatories of Civil Justice. These interprofessional communities represent a unique window on the Italian judicial system. This case study enables to critically analyse the concept of practice and to highlight its subtypes: experimental practice, solipsistic practice, diffused practice, concerted practice, fixed practice, institutionalized practice.
