Document Summary
Lecture 11: everyday life: its place in sociological inquiry. Rita felski, the invention of everyday life: habit. The main concepts: context, social actors as meaning makers, social action as oriented, the social self, social institutions, Other important concepts we collected along the way: social interaction, inter-subjective reality, shared understandings, tacit knowledge, the-world-taken-for-granted. *context can refer to temporal-historical, geographical, physical, economic, political, cultural and social features in which a given social order merges. E. g. surfing order in polynesia, versus recreational beaches in california, versus globalism. *social actors are interpreters of the world they inhabit. *social action, according to max weber, is action that is oriented to other. * this capacity for human beings to involve others in their own actions is supported through the social self. *the social self enables social actors to experience the social world as an inter-subjective reality.
