N2 - Despite the prevalence of variation within social life, a vocabulary for articulating how practices vary has been underdeveloped within theories of practice. This chapter articulates analytic strategies that can be used to name and discuss different types of variation – both within and between practices – drawing upon examples from four cases: birdwatching, eating, identity verification practices and funerals. It argues that spatio-temporal, practitioner/material and conceptual intersections between practices are crucial for developing analytic approaches and vocabularies more attuned to variation within a nexus of practices, and highlights how interdependence operates through sequenced practices and cross-cutting group categories such as ‘family’.
