The Quotidian from the Perspective of Historical Social Sciences

Anotace

This course examines the everyday life in various theoretical approaches, mainly from the perspective of historical social sciences. There are many different kinds of theories of everyday life.

This topic incorporates several key themes; the everyday context of symbolic interaction and dramaturgy, places, non-verbal communication, fashion, consumption, things and violence. We will also study how social identities are formed and maintained.

With the help of some major authors, we will begin to study the form and content of “everydayness” and where it sits within sociological scholarship.
