Abstract
This chapter operationalises the practice-based theoretical paradigm set out in Chapter 2 into a methodological framework. Accordingly, this chapter is divided into three sections. The first explains the methodological approaches triangulated in this book: single-case study analysis, process tracing, and aspects of Davide Nicolini’s (practice theory) toolkit. The second brings together a range of theoretical discussions from different fields and disciplines to reimagine the organisational studies’ (mechanical) notion of knowledge conversion for the purposes of understanding the pre-reflexive, relational, processual, organic, emergent, unintended, tacit-to-explicit knowledge conversion of social movement practice. The third contextualises this reconceptualised notion of knowledge conversion within the epistemic context in which it will be explored—the Islamic discipline of fiqh (Islamic law). This allows us to determine the emic criteria for knowledge production in Islamic law, against which the book will assess the epistemic outcomes of Hizmet’s practice in Chapters 4 and 5.
