<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>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?</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>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?</span></font></p>
