Reading the Everyday

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Everyday life is a growing field of study in cultural studies and cultural theory. "Reading the Everyday" fleshes out some of the key debates in this field with detailed readings of the spaces, practices and mythologies of quotidian culture. Drawing on the work of continental theorists such as Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, Marc Auge and Siegfried Kracauer, it explores the concrete sites and routines of everyday life, and their representation in political discourse, news media, material culture, sitcoms, reality TV shows, photography, CCTV and webcams. It aims to rethink notions of everyday life within cultural studies, which have traditionally focused on questions of popular culture, consumption and lifestyle. "Reading the Everyday" instead investigates some of the most under-explored, banal aspects of quotidian culture, such as office life, commuting, traffic, parking, motorways and mass housing.
