Michael Jackson has spent much of his career elaborating his rich
conception of lifeworlds, mining his ethnographic and personal
experience for insights into how our subjective and social lives
are mutually constituted. In How Lifeworlds Work, Jackson draws on
years of ethnographic fieldwork in West Africa to highlight the
dynamic quality of human relationships and reinvigorate the study
of kinship and ritual. How, he asks, do we manage the perpetual
process of accommodation between social norms and personal
emotions, impulses, and desires? How are these two dimensions of
lived reality joined, and how are the dual imperatives of
individual expression and collective viability managed? Drawing on
the pragmatist tradition, psychology, and phenomenology, Jackson
offers an unforgettable, beautifully written account of how we
make, unmake, and remake, our lifeworlds.
