This unique and innovative text provides undergraduate students
with tools to think sociologically through the lens of everyday
life. Normative social organization and taken for granted beliefs
and actions are exposed as key mechanisms of power and social
inequality in western societies today. By "unpacking the centre"
students are encouraged to turn their social worlds inside out and
explore alternatives to the dominant social order. The text is
divided into three parts. In Part One students learn how to use
theory and methodology, which are blended seamlessly throughout the
text. It shows how to position Michel Foucault as a companion to
theorists such as Karl Marx and Stuart Hall, while signaling the
importance of non-western and Indigenous knowledges, experiences,
and rights. In Part Two, students explore - and challenge -
normativity; the normal body, heterosexuality, whiteness, the
two-gender system, aging, and the under-side of citizenship. In
Part Three, shorter chapters critique everyday practices such as
thinking scientifically, practicing self-help, going shopping,
managing money, buying coffee, being a tourist, and marginalizing
Indigeneity. Each chapter includes intriguing exercises, study
questions, and key terms that link to the volume's comprehensive
glossary. Instructors are provided PowerPoint slides, test banks,
and multimodal supplementary resources that make the book adaptable
to blended and online learning environments. Essay-style lectures
are also available to accompany the textbook.
