Produktbeschreibung

Researching the everyday is more important now than ever before: beyond a fad or cultural currency, understanding the mundane is key to critical and conceptual social science. But what is the everyday, and how do we research it? Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary approaches, this collection provides a practical, hands-on approach for scholars interested in studying the mundane and exploring its potential. Outlining innovative and original methods for studying materials and memories, emotions and senses, and mobilities and motion, Mundane Methods provides a distinctive methodological and empirical contribution to research on the everyday. Collecting research from established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection offers a range of truly unique methods - from loitering, smell-mapping and memory work - that promise to embrace and retain the vitality of research into everyday life.
