Writing the Everyday: Body, Place, Time

Writing the Everyday: Body, Place, Time concerns the stories we tell of the familiar, the routine, the mundane, paying attention to what does and does not happen, what is and is not present, what does and (apparently) does not matter. Writing the Everyday tells such stories to bring the everyday – a walk to work up a steep Edinburgh hill, writing in a favourite café, laughter, loss, rupture – alive. It tells these stories to explore how the everyday offers glimpses into, lies close to, the profound and the intimate, and it tells these stories to trouble the politics of the everyday. Writing the Everyday is also about writing: it thinks, feels, breathes, aches, with writing, with what writing – ‘everyday inquiring’ – might offer. Writing the Everyday is a listening with the world, a listening in the midst, a listening with the worlding of the moment. This book appeals to scholars and students in creative writing, cultural studies, psychotherapy, human geography, and qualitative research methodologies. It serves as both theoretical exploration and practical invitation, encouraging readers to attend more carefully to the texture of the everyday and to recognize the significance coursing through the everyday. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in narrative inquiry, autoethnography, and in the intersection of embodiment, place, and temporality in the everyday.
