<blockquote><font color="#000000">New technologies, increasing work
pressures, changing gender roles and family structures, increasing
flows of refugees and asylum seekers, concerns about security,
environmental risks, the escalating speed and complexity of social
transactions - everyday life is today a terrain of rapid and
unsettling change. Yet it retains associations also with pattern,
order, routine - the familiarity of a favourite soap opera or talk
show, the ordinary pleasures and irritations of shopping, cooking,
negotiating traffic, managing domestic life.<br>
<br>
How should cultural studies address questions of everyday life in the
twenty-first century? The field can claim a rich tradition of work in
the area, from ethnographies of street subcultures and shopping
centres to writing on television and popular magazines. But everyday
life has been transformed in significant ways since the time of many
of the founding contributions. What remains relevant today in the
study of everyday life? To what extent do we need new concepts and
categories?</font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><font color="#000000">Transformations have also occurred
in cultural studies' motivations for engaging with everyday life. The
everyday is a major point of intersection for many of its intellectual
tributaries, including British cultural studies, feminism, semiotics,
European surrealism, situationism, psychoanalysis and
ethnomethodology. Yet the context for all of these has been affected
by major shifts in the location of cultural studies, the nature and
priorities of higher education, by the increasing market orientation
of mainstream institutions and by conservative attempts to lay claim
to the 'ordinary' and 'mainstream'. What do we seek now in engaging
with the everyday? What understanding of this engagement is most
appropriate for the times?</font></blockquote>
