Cultural Change and Ordinary Life

Brian Longhurst, "Cultural Change and Ordinary Life"
2007 | pages: 148 | ISBN: 0335221874 | PDF | 1,1 mb

This book explores conceptualisations and the social patterning of ordinary and everyday life in the context of the implications of recent theories and accounts of social and cultural change. It suggests that a new understanding of ordinary life, as opposed to a critique or celebration of it, which combines consideration of routine and points of high emotional investment, can be produced from a variety of sources that have not yet been brought together in any systematic fashion. These resources include: theories of social and cultural capital; theories and evidence of cultural omnivorousness and univoreness; arguments concerning postmodernity and globalisation; theories and accounts of everyday enthusiasm; and participation in voluntary associations. The book develops the arguments concerning the nature of cultural and social life.
