The canonization of the everyday in the past few decades is largely due to the anthropological turn in the social sciences and humanities. Heavily reliant on the use of ethnography and participant observation, both versions of micro-sociology –Harold Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology and Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical approach– advanced the sociology of everyday life as the inquiry into how people make sense of and construct their social world.
The collection of texts in this volume draws on the dozens of papers presented at the IX International Conference of the Hellenic Semiotic Society held in October 2010, at the University of Cyprus, on the topic of ‘The Everyday’. The fact that we were hosted in Cyprus partly explains its largely Greek, Middle Eastern and North African thematic focus.
