(2014) Personal media and everyday life, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter introduces "everyday life" as a sociological category and examines more specifically and critically the concept of the lifeworld. It examines the significance of the concept from phenomenology to sociology, and points towards a revised notion of the lifeworld more compatible with a modern mediated everyday life. It links the concept of the lifeworld to the more recent Anglo-American concept of "domestication", addressed more specifically as "personalisation". It connects everyday personal media use to Michel de Certeau's theory of strategy and tactics in everyday life.
