The first focuses on how the habit discourses proposed by a range of disciplines have informed the ways in which different forms of expertise have shaped the ways in which habits have been managed or changed to bring about specific social objectives. The second concerns the ways in which habits are acted on as aspects of infrastructures which constitute the interfaces through which technical systems, human conducts and environments are acted on simultaneously. The third concerns the specific ways in which habit discourses and habit infrastructures are brought together in the regulation of 'city habits' that is, habits which have specific qualities arising out of the specific conditions - the rhythms and densities - of urban life and ones which, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been profoundly disrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a clear and direct style, the book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in cultural studies, sociology, cultural geography, history of the sciences, and posthuman studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Bennett\u003c\/strong\u003e is Research Professor in Social and Cultural Theory in the Institute for Culture and Society at Western Sydney University.
