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 type="cite" cite><font face="Times New Roman"
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><br>
