Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning interest in the study of
everyday life within the social sciences and humanities. In
"Critiques of Everyday Life" Michael Gardiner proposes that there
exists a counter-tradition within everyday life theorising. This
counter-tradition has sought not merely to describe lived
experience, but to transform it by elevating our understanding of
the everyday to the status of a critical knowledge. In his analysis
Gardiner engages with the work of a number of significant theorists
and approaches that have been marginalized by mainstream academe,
including: the French tradition of everyday life theorising, from
the surrealists to Henri Lefebvre, and from the Situationist
International to Michel de Certeau; Agnes Heller and the
relationship between the everyday, rationality and ethics;
carnival, prosaics and intersubjectivity in the work of Mikhail
Bakhtin; and Dorothy E. Smith's feminist perspective on everyday
life. It demonstrates the importance of an alternative,
multidisciplinary everyday life paradigm and offers a myriad of new
possibilities for critical social and cultural theorising and
empirical research.
