Crabtree seems to be expressing similar sentiments as does Watson in this excerpt quoted in An ethnography of a neighbourhood cafe: informality, table arrangements and background noise:
"What... I am recommending is a new sociology of knowledge which does not seek to operate from 'on high', imputing overarching perspectives to groups, or societies 'as wholes', as the Karls Marx and Mannheim (plus countless others) have done, but a sociology of knowledge which addresses peoples' practices, their typifications/categorisations in action, their activities and interactions, their communicative interactions conceived in the broadest sense."
