Discursive practices

Discursive practices refer to the ways in which language, communication, and social interactions shape our understanding of knowledge and ideas. In the context of general knowledge, it involves how we talk about subjects, share information, and negotiate meaning within a culture or community. These practices influence our beliefs, perceptions, and how knowledge is transmitted. For example, discussions, debates, and writings contribute to what is accepted as "common knowledge" and can vary based on context, perspective, or audience. Essentially, it highlights the role of dialogue and discourse in shaping our collective understanding of various topics.
