During the seminar a theoretical and empirical approach of the multiple ways in which sociological inquiry can intrude the practical everyday life will be explored. Thus, the focus will be upon the inter-subjective meaning and the ways in which social subjects “perform” and “do” the routines of everyday day life common activities (eating, sleeping, loving, socializing, etc). This historically and socially intermediated meaning will be grounded upon its historical and cultural roots as a privileged field of qualitative applied social research. The needs and requirements of “a right here and now” social reality seem to demand a stock of knowledge that is connected to the grammar and syntax of certain social lifeworlds. These are interrelated to institutional, structural and situational aspects of both practical knowledge and scientific research, as a political and active project of understanding and interpreting social truth.
