AbstractWe have learned through processes of socialization how to name and identify things, which helps us continually reduce complexity and bring order to the contingent world around us in our everyday life. At the same time, we move within many “small” social lifeworlds, or “multiple realities,” that are disconnected from one another and each have a particular cultural grammar in which “things” are loaded with quite a variety of meanings that impact and alter our identities. Design ethnographers also move within these small social lifeworlds. They should neither judge these morally nor overwrite them with their own values, but rather meet them with openness and sensitivity.

Truth Claims

Contemporary spiritualties are often portrayed as a turn to a subjective and individualized form of religion, consisting of individually held truth claims or private peak experiences that are generated sporadically at retreats and workshops. The portrayal is ultimately related to a perception of everyday life in contemporary Euro-America as mundane, rationalized, and secular, but also the exclusion of practices centered on the body, the home and the everyday from what is deemed properly religious. This article explores the sacred technologies of the everyday among women in England who identify as Goddess worshippers. The purpose is to further the understanding of religion and the everyday, as well as the conceptualization of contemporary Goddess-worship as lived religion. Through examining narratives on the intersection between religion and everyday activities, the technologies of imbuing everyday life with a sacred dimension become visible. The sacred technologies imply skills that enable both imagining and relating to the sacred. The women consciously and diligently work to cultivate skills that would allow them to sense and make sense of the sacred, in other words, to foster a sense of withness through the means of a host of practices. I argue that the women actively endeavor to establish an everyday world that is experienced as inherently different from the secular and religious fields in their surroundings; hence it is not from disenchantment or an endeavor with no social consequences. The women’s everyday is indeed infused with different strategies where the body, different practices, and material objects are central in cultivating a specific religious disposition that ultimately will change the way the women engage with and orient themselves in the world.

Compassion is a feeling evoked by the serious troubles of another where the onlooker can identify with the sufferer and believes that it is possible that he or she might have the same difficulty. The troubles must not be self-inflicted. Discussions of compassion go back to Aristotle, although they were originally called “pity.” The idea of compassion rests on beliefs about the social nature of everyday life as well as clear evidence of identification with others, which is even found in newborns. The everyday world is a social world. The place of the internet and contemporary social media in these processes is discussed. The idea of spirit is discussed, as are the religious and philosophical origins of the idea. Social situations where compassion is absent are discussed. The importance of compassion in medicine is stressed. Suffering, its definition and its importance in compassion are covered.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to argue that scholars in the information behavior (IB) field should embrace the theoretical framework of the everyday to explore a more holistic view of IB. Design/methodology/approach The paper describes the theory of the everyday and delineates four opportunities offered by scholars of the everyday. The paper concludes with three examples that highlight what a more everyday-focused everyday information behavior might look like. Findings The theory of the everyday provides a useful theoretical framework to ground research addressing the everyday world as well as useful concepts for analysis and research methodology. Originality/value The theoretical framework of the everyday contributes to IB research by providing a theoretical justification for work addressing everyday life as well as useful concepts for analysis. The paper also outlines the benefits of integrating methods influenced by institutional ethnography, a methodology previously used to address the nuances of the everyday world.

Remembrance and prayer is something that is encouraged in Islam. Evidence of human devotion to his Lord is always given to Allah. In the everyday world, not least every Muslim after the five daily prayers constantly zikr. In the culture of remembrance in Indonesia is not only done individually but also together or in groups both small and large quantities, such as istighasah made in large numbers by reading verses of the Qur’an and other wird/zikir. Recitation has become a culture among Indonesia’s Muslim population. Their use of the tasbih in doing zikir in its history is the command of the Prophet. Where at the time of the Prophet. implementation of remembrance wear such devices rocks. Along with the times, the tool change like beads made of various materials such as wood, beads, glass, and so on. Even now found digital rosary is not just their number amounted to 100 pieces but could be in a matter of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. These beads specifications tailored to the interests of each user tasbih, where in everyday life after prayer beads then simply wear size 99 or smaller pieces 33 pieces. However, if the readings of remembrance will be read very many uses digital tasbih.

Ist von der Ästhetisierung der Lebenswelt die Rede, meint man damit in der Regel alle Versuche, den Alltag zu verschönern und mit Kunst, Design und ästhetischen Reizen anzureichern. Es gibt aber auch eine ästhetische Dimension des banalen Alltags selbst. Im ersten Teil des Aufsatzes wird die These vertreten, daß zwei Aspekte diese Ästhetik des Alltags wesentlich bestimmen: Das Ästhetische ist im Alltag entweder flüchtig und peripher oder es ist das Gewohnte und ständig Präsente. Entweder es ist überraschend, läßt sich aber nicht festhalten, oder es umgibt uns ständig, hat seinen Reiz aber längst verloren. In beiden Fällen kommt es zu keiner starken ästhetischen Erfahrung, sondern zu flüchtigen ästhetischen Empfindungen, die zwischen Spannung und Langeweile, Interesse und Desinteresse, Aufmerksamkeit und Ignoranz schwanken. Im zweiten Teil wird untersucht, was es bedeutet, wenn anspruchsvolle ästhetische Konzepte, wie sie etwa der Kunst zugrunde liegen, mit dem Alltag konfrontiert werden. Kunst kann dabei entweder als eine Möglichkeit, den Alltag zu unterbrechen, aufgefaßt werden, oder sie wird in den Alltag integriert. Dann aber unterliegt sie dessen Gesetzen und kann nur mehr peripher wahrgenommen werden. Als entscheidende Kategorie der Alltagsästhetik wird sich aber das Schöne erweisen. When we talk about making the everyday world more aesthetically pleasing, we generally mean all attempts to enrich daily life with art, design and aesthetic aspects. But there also is a certain aesthetic dimension to the banality of daily life. In the first part of the essay, I suggest that two aspects dominate aesthetics in daily life: Beauty is in everyday life either short-term and peripheral or is that to which we are used and which is omnipresent. Either it is surprising but ungraspable or it is always with us but has long since lost its allure. In both cases it does not result in a strong aesthetic experience but in short-term aesthetic sensitivities that alternate between excitement and boredom, interest and disinterest, attention and ignorance. In the second part of the essay I examine what it means if demanding aesthetic and artistic concepts are confronted with everyday life. Art can either be seen as interrupting daily life or can be integrated into the ordinary. Then art must follow the rules of the ordinary and can only be perceived as peripheral. Still, beauty emerges as a decisive category in the aesthetics of everyday living.

Content Review

To identify changes in the everyday life of hepatitis subjects, we conducted a descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative analysis. Data from 12 hepatitis B and/or C patients were collected in October 2011 through a semi-structured interview and subjected to thematic content review. Most subjects have been diagnosed with hepatitis B. The diagnosis period ranged from less than 6 months to 12 years, and the diagnosis was made predominantly through the donation of blood. Interferon was used in only two patients. The findings were divided into two groups that define the interviewees' feelings and responses, as well as some lifestyle changes. It was concluded that the magnitude of phenomena about the disease process and life with hepatitis must be understood to health professionals.

Point Of Departure

From a remarkably innovative point of departure, Ben Highmore (University of Sussex) suggests that modernist literature and art were not the only cultural practices concerned with reclaiming the everyday and imbuing it with significance. At the same time, Roger Caillois was studying the spontaneous interactions involved in games such as hopscotch, while other small scale institutions such as the Pioneer Health Centre in Peckham, London attempted to reconcile systematic study and knowledge with the non-systematic exchanges in games and play. Highmore suggests that such experiments comprise a less-often recognised ‘modernist heritage’, and argues powerfully for their importance within early-twentieth century anthropology and the newly-emerged field of cultural studies.

Over Time

The section below contains reports on bioarchaeological remains recovered in the excavations in Areas D and C in the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia, Poros, between 2003 and 2005. The excavations were directed by the late Berit Wells within a research project named Physical Environment and Daily Life in the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia (Poros). The main objective of the project was to study what changed and what remained constant over time in the everyday life and in both the built and physical environment in an important sanctuary of the ancient Greeks. The bioarchaeological remains, of a crucial importance for this type of study, were collected both by means of traditional archaeological excavation and by processing extensively collected soil samples. This text aims to providing the theoretical and archaeological background for the analyses that follow.
