Description
Everyday Life and Cultural Theory provides a unique critical and historical introduction to theories of everyday life. Ben Highmore traces the development of conceptions of everyday life, from the Mass Observation project of the 1930s to contemporary theorists. Individual chapters examine: theories of the everyday; fragments of everyday life, Surrealism: the marvelous in the everyday; Walter Benjamin's Trash Aesthetics; mass Observation: the science of everyday life; Henri Lefebvre's Dialectics of Everyday Life; Michel de Certeau's Poetics of Everyday Life; and everyday life and the future of cultural studies.
First Sentence
THERE IS NO ESCAPE: to launch an investigation into the theoretical practices of those who attend to everyday life requires attention to the everyday 'itself'.
