Choose a topic that fits the category of the unmarked or every-day life – for example, body image, everyday gender performances, diet and food, fashion, and so on. You would need to do the literature review on the topic, discuss, analyze, and interpret the literature in a critical fashion. Rather than individual summaries, you are expected to reflect in-sightfully on the literature. In what ways do these studies depart from macro-studies and offer concepts and tools to understand the mundane and the ordinary? What aspects of everyday life are overtly or covertly covered in these studies – self, social construction, impression manage-ment meaning-making, power, inequalities, resistance, or other aspects? Is self with the social, or is there any tension? In what ways is a social reality is being constructed and negotiated? Does the social reality assume a fixed form, or is it shifting over time? What power asymmetries do you notice? Use your own understanding of the concepts and theories of everyday life to extend the argument proposed in the literature as well as to highlight any gaps. The essay should not be a mechanical review of the literature. The idea is to critically analyze the existing studies to reflect on the topic, formulate an argument, and form your own explanations. How can you use your knowledge of the course to go beyond the literature, add your insights, and interpret the topic? Can you relate it to your personal experiences and everyday life? Give examples (Word limit: 4-6 pages 1.5 spaced).
