Description
Summary:A focus on everyday lifethe daily, tacit, or the so-called quotidianlies at the heart of sociology's subject matter. It includes real-time practices, specifically the reality-making work that people do as a matter of routine, and the objects, tools, and sensory and aesthetic media that are drawn upon to accomplish this work. A focus on the "everyday" also encompasses preconscious and seemingly automatic forms of sense-making and problem-solving. This entry begins by reviewing a few classic studies that focus on the everyday and then continues with discussions of the role of the everyday in the social sciences and the methods of investigating the everyday.
