The kitchen is a ubiquitous space in the Indian domestic life. Yet there hasn’t been a lot of academic discourses around it possibly owing to its mundane nature. In this article, I aim to look into the gendered nature of the space through advertisements. Advertisements are digital documents of everyday life This article deliberates on the notion that the kitchen space in urban India is undergoing a change in representation and participation. This change is reflected in the advertisements, created keeping in mind the perception of its viewers. The gendered segregation of work done in the home space have been deliberated by a number of scholars. This article problematises those viewpoints and challenges DeVault’s notion of “womanly conduct” through the narrative of the advertisements.

Unexpected changes, risks and constraints that have arisen in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to transformational changes in the social order of many societies. The effects of the pandemic can now be traced in all spheres of modern life. The usual order of everyday life, the criteria of relevance and interpretive schemes for explainig current events, necessary for life and interaction in society are subject to significant changes and form a "new reality". Sociological discourse immediately responded to ontological shifts with empirical research on the effects of the pandemic in teleworking and distance education, gender and domestic violence, health practices, hygiene, leisure, and new forms of sociality.The pandemic situation has brought to the attention of researchers the daily life of man, which has become more localized in the private space of the home. The new social conditions have forced us to reconsider the requirements for living space. Issues of comfortable planning and personal safety, the ability to work and exercise the right to education, development and entertainment have become even more relevant and defining values in the organization of everyday life of modern man.The combination of different functional areas in a single living space has led to the transformation of the perception of home as a private recreation area. This work is devoted to the study of the impact of existing socio-cultural conditions on the processes of changing the attitude of the citizens of Dnipro to the private space of the house in a new format that combines everyday life, work and leisure. An empirical study of in-depth interviews was conducted to capture changes in the perception of home space in today's pandemic environment. The obtained results testified to a significant transformation of ideas about the organization of everyday life and living space of modern man in the current conditions.

Everyday Problems

Optimisation problems are among the most practical applications of calculus to everyday life, and a survey of exercises in various calculus textbooks will provide a teacher with many interesting scenarios for framing intriguing questions on this topic. Whether it is finding a container's dimensions that yield the least surface area for a given volume, or finding that ideal movie ticket price which will maximise a theatre's revenue, students can usually relate to these problems. Pólya in his bookPlausible reasoningmakes the following remarks about the attraction of extrema problems:Problems concerned with greatest and least values, or maximum and minimum problems, are more attractive, perhaps, than other mathematical problems of comparable difficulty, and this may be due to a quite primitive reason. Every one of us has his personal problems. We may observe that these problems are very often maximum or minimum problems of a sort. We wish to obtain a certain object at the lowest possible price, or the greatest possible effect with a certain effort, or the maximum work done within a given time and, of course, we wish to run the minimum risk. Mathematical problems on maxima and minima appeal to us, I think, because they idealize our everyday problems. We are even inclined to imagine that Nature acts as we would like to act, obtaining the greatest effect with the least effort [1, p. 121].

This is an article about measurement and multiplication. We chose this topic for three reasons. First. children need a variety of practice in multiplication. We hope that when children are working with problems in interesting meaningful situations, they will be motivated to do the related computations thoughtfully and accurately. The individual activities do not contain a multitude of multiplication exercises—we are more interested in the quality than in the quant ity of work done. Second, measurement is one of the main ways we use mathematics in everyday life. Thus, at the same time the children are practicing multiplication. they are applying it. Third, mathematical skills often are taught separately and child ren do not see the relationships among them. Here we have provided ways to tie measurement and multiplication together.

The review article analyzes the monograph by E. V. Godovova, dedicated to the daily life of the Cossacks in the post-reform era. It is concluded that with all the richness of the historiography of the Russian pre-revolutionary Cossacks, this work is favorably distinguished from the list of other studies due to the meticulous reconstruction of various aspects of the daily life of the Cossacks. There is considerable work done by the author while consolidating diverse areas of everyday life under one cover. On the basis of numerous sources, the author managed to present a vivid picture of the military field life of the Cossacks, to show the ways of adapting them to hardships, and to highlight motivating factors for serving and participating in hostilities. Some suggestions were made about the information that could logically supplement the work under review.

AbstractJust how ordinary was everyday life during normalization in Czechoslovakia? In their discussions of the lives of “ordinary people,” historians have underplayed the fear and secrecy present in the daily experiences of Czechs and Slovaks in the late communist period. In linking writings by dissidents to Czech and Slovak oral histories in the collections of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, I seek to problematize the dissident/ordinary person dichotomy used in recent historiography, and argue that the chasm between these two apparently opposite groups has been exaggerated. Through an analysis of the themes of family, education and mobility, I will show that domestic life was not an escape from politics, but was in itself politicized. From audiovisual interviews, I will glean normalization-era memories of the need for what Václav Havel called “silence” and “mystification”-in the classroom, in the pub and in the home.

Classical concepts LEBEN (LIFE), TOD (DEATH), LIEBE (LOVE), NATUR (NATURE) as well as representations from other fields: religion (АPOKALYPSE, ARMAGEDDON), domestic life (ALLTAG (EVERYDAY LIFE), FAMILIENKRISE (FAMILY CRISIS), economics and politics (FINANZKRISE (FINANCIAL CRISIS), sport (FUßBALL (FOOTBALL), SPORT, DOPING (PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG), philosophy (ABSURDITÄT DES MENSCHLICHEN LEBENS (ABSURDITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE) are explicated within the context of the German poetry discourse of the XXI century. However in 2020 due to the spread of coronavirus infection, which had an impact on world society, it becomes relevant to consider the methods of the CORONAVIRUS concept implementation in the context of German poetry Internet discourse of the XXI century. Special attention focuses on three main groups of poetic texts: a poem- appeal; a poem-advice; a poem that creates a positive attitude; a poem that creates a sense of anxiety, which raise this problem. In the texts under study, the main set of linguostylistic means has been identified that serve as ways of manifestation of the CORONAVIRUS concept: epithets, chains of negative-evaluative lexical items, metaphors, rhetorical questions. However, the prevailing means are imperative constructions that have an influential character.

Academic Discourses

Practice-led research can sometimes develop discourses that are not always consistent with the grammatical logics of academic language. However, practice-led research can reproduce and/or explain what happens when an individual encounters things and events in the world. This dynamic may thus open up innovative ways of codifying and authenticating knowledge gained from the performance of everyday life that might otherwise remain inexplicable (or seem irrelevant or disconnected within the existing structures and grammars of scientific discourse). Such practice-led research can lead to new forms of expression in order to understand the individual's subjective experience. Thus, while practice-led research may challenge (and sometimes upturn) established methods of logic and rational argument, it also enables a researcher to develop explanations of events and encounters in the world that may otherwise not be accessible to them. Creative work can also make the impact of scientific research available to those who may not have a thorough working knowledge of scientific and academic discourses in the relevant discipline. The paper discusses these issues while focusing on a creative project/website developed through practice-led research.

This text contains an analysis of the ways in which men and women engage in selected hospitality practices, including such questions as the feminine transmission of hospitality patterns, the division of responsibilities in preparing for guests, and places for meeting socially (at home and outside the home). On the basis of material gathered by the team of the Archive of Research on Everyday Life, the author finds numerous paradoxes and inconsistencies between women’s beliefs and their behaviors. In attempting a theoretical explanation, reference is made to the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu, Jean-Claude Kaufmann, Harriet Bjerrum Nielsen, and Monica Rudberg. Analysis leads to the conclusion that the multiple and time-consuming responsibilities associated with receiving guests mostly fall to women and thus contribute to their ability to sustain symbolic power over the home space. Consequently, hospitality perpetuates the traditional division into what is public and considered “masculine” and what is private or “feminine.”

Over Time

Smart home technologies with the ability to learn over time promise to adjust their actions to inhabitants’ unique preferences and circumstances. For example, by learning to anticipate their routines. However, these promises show frictions with the reality of everyday life, which is characterized by its complexity and unpredictability. These systems and their design can thus benefit from meaningful ways of eliciting reflections on potential challenges for integrating learning systems into everyday domestic contexts, both for the inhabitants of the home as for the technologies and their designers. For example, is there a risk that inhabitants’ everyday lives will reshape to accommodate the learning system’s preference for predictability and measurability? To this end, in this paper we build a designer’s interpretation on the Social Practice Imaginaries method as developed by Strengers et al. to create a set of diverse, plausible imaginaries for the year 2030. As a basis for these imaginaries, we have selected three social practices in a domestic context: waking up, doing groceries, and heating/cooling the home. For each practice, we create one imaginary in which the inhabitants’ routine is flawlessly supported by the learning system and one that features everyday crises of that routine. The resulting social practice imaginaries are then viewed through the perspective of the inhabitant, the learning system, and the designer. In doing so, we aim to enable designers and design researchers to uncover a diverse and dynamic set of implications the integration of these systems in everyday life pose.
