Reading the everyday Drawing on the work of continental theorists such as Henri Lefebvre Michel de Certeau Marc Auge and Siegfried Kracauer Joe Moran explores the concrete sites and routines of everyday life and their representation in political debate news media material culture sitcoms reality TV shows photography CCTV and webcams. Moran aims to rethink notions of everyday life within cultural studies which have traditionally focused on questions of popular culture consumption and lifestyle. He investigates some of the most under explored banal aspects of quotidian culture such as office life commuting car parking motorways new towns and mass housing. Reading the Everyday shows that analysing supposedly boring phenomena can help us to make sense of cultural and social change; and it argues that the everyday has become a space for a new kind of post political politics which has obscured profound changes in work domestic and public space.
