Preferred term

geography and everyday life  

Definition

  • As a basic definition, the term everyday life refers to those ordinary, taken-for-granted, habitual thoughts, activities, and settings that are close and familiar to all of us but that are rarely measured by governments or scholars or endowed any particular significance. Henri Lefebvre used the metaphor that everyday life is like fertilizer: It functions as a source of life-giving power, but it largely goes unnoticed as it is tramped underfoot.
