[csaa-forum] CSAA conference update

[Mark Gibson]

Thanks Andrea. Yes, I'd already sent a message to the website 
designer about that. Embarrassing. Hope it will be fixed soon.

>New technologies, increasing work pressures, changing gender roles 
>and family structures, increasing flows of refugees and asylum 
>seekers, concerns about security, environmental risks, the 
>escalating speed and complexity of social transactions - everyday 
>life is today a terrain of rapid and unsettling change. Yet it 
>retains associations also with pattern, order, routine - the 
>familiarity of a favourite soap opera or talk show, the ordinary 
>pleasures and irritations of shopping, cooking, negotiating traffic, 
>managing domestic life.
>
>How should cultural studies address questions of everyday life in 
>the twenty-first century? The field can claim a rich tradition of 
>work in the area, from ethnographies of street subcultures and 
>shopping centres to writing on television and popular magazines. But 
>everyday life has been transformed in significant ways since the 
>time of many of the founding contributions. What remains relevant 
>today in the study of everyday life? To what extent do we need new 
>concepts and categories?
>
>Transformations have also occurred in cultural studies' motivations 
>for engaging with everyday life. The everyday is a major point of 
>intersection for many of its intellectual tributaries, including 
>British cultural studies, feminism, semiotics, European surrealism, 
>situationism, psychoanalysis and ethnomethodology. Yet the context 
>for all of these has been affected by major shifts in the location 
>of cultural studies, the nature and priorities of higher education, 
>by the increasing market orientation of mainstream institutions and 
>by conservative attempts to lay claim to the 'ordinary' and 
>'mainstream'. What do we seek now in engaging with the everyday? 
>What understanding of this engagement is most appropriate for the 
>times?
