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 cultural sociology of Georg Simmel, through the Mass-Observation project of the 1930s to contemporary theorists such as Michel de Certeau.
Individual chapters examine:
* Modernity and everyday life
* Georg Simmel and fragments of everyday life
* Surrealism and the marvellous in the everyday
* Walter Benjamin's trash aesthetics
* Mass-Observation and the science of everyday life
* Henri Lefebvre's dialectics of everyday life
* Michel de Certeau's poetics of everyday life
* Everyday life and the future of cultural studies.
