This essay seeks to contribute to the understanding of Nicolini's proposal on the approach to practices, focusing mainly on his book "Practice Theory, Work, and Organization" (2012). To that end, the following question was presented: What is Davide Nicolini's proposal? It should be noted that Nicolini is not interested in proposing a new theory of practice since his proposal provides a plurality of sensitizing concepts belonging to different ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies that have similarities between them forming a "programmatic eclecticism". It is perceived that the author provides the bases and orientations for a theory founded that can be constructed from the practical, from the empirical, thus remaining coherent with the ethos, with the logic of "practice", breaking with the dichotomies of traditional approaches, constituting a flat and relational ontology. In this sense, this work emphasizes Grounded Theory as a methodological possibility to be used in the study of practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
