Produktbeschreibung

Concerned with the structures of cultural invisibility, unconscious rules of irrelevance and automatic frames of meaning, this book represents the first analysis of the sociology of unmarkedness and taken-for-grantedness, developing the key assumptions and underpinnings of the study of nondescript, humdrum social phenomena.

Rezensionen

"Sociology suffers from an attention deficit disorder of sorts, focusing on .001% of human action that takes place against a background of the taken for granted which occupies the rest of our experience. Here, in this adventurous volume, Lombardo and Sabetta gather essays that collectively redirect our gaze to the vast unmarked world, bringing opportunity for fresh insight."
