- Student-friendly introduction to the sociology of everyday
life.
- Introduces in very accessible style the various theories used
to interpret our everyday actions that on the surface of things
might look mundane.
- Considers topics such as eating and drinking, leisure, time and
schedules, emotions, home, as well as how to study everyday
life.
- Encourages students to look afresh at routines and challenge
the ‘taken-for-granted’ to see how the basic actions we
perform each day construct and reflect larger social structures and
issues.
- Will appeal across a variety of disciplines, such as sociology of everyday life, sociology of emotions, social psychology and cultural studies.
