What is reality and how do we make sense of it in everyday life?
Why do some realities seem more real than others, and what of
seemingly contradictory and multiple realities? This book considers
reality as we represent, perceive and experience it. It suggests
that the realities we take as 'real' are the result of real-time,
situated practices that draw on and draw together many things -
technologies and objects, people, gestures, meanings and media.
Examining these practices illuminates reality (or rather our sense
of it) as always 'virtually real', that is simplified and artfully
produced. This examination also shows us how the sense of reality
that we make is nonetheless real in its consequences. Making Sense
of Reality offers students and educators a guide to analysing
social life. It develops a performance-based perspective ('doing
things with') that highlights the ever-revised dimension of
realities and links this perspective to a focus on object-relations
and an ecological model of culture-in-action.
