Opis

The Everyday Life Reader brings together a wide range of thinkers from Freud to Baudrillard with primary sources on everyday life to provide a comprehensive resource on theories of everyday life. Ben Highmore's introduction surveys the development of thought about everyday life, setting theories in their social and historical context, and each themed section opens with an essay introducing the debates. The sections include: situating the everyday; everyday life and national culture; ethnography near and far; reclamation work; and everyday things.
