In \u003cem\u003eCritiques of Everyday Life\u003c\/em\u003e Michael Gardiner proposes that there exists a counter-tradition within everyday life theorising. This counter-tradition has sought not merely to describe lived experience, but to transform it by elevating our understanding of the everyday to the status of a critical knowledge.\u003cbr\u003eIn his analysis Gardiner engages with the work of a number of significant theorists and approaches that have been marginalized by mainstream academe, including: \u003cbr\u003e*The French tradition of everyday life theorising, from the surrealists to Henri Lefebvre, and from the Situationist International to Michel de Certeau\u003cbr\u003e*Agnes Heller and the relationship between the everyday, rationality and ethics\u003cbr\u003e*Carnival, prosaics and intersubjectivity in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin\u003cbr\u003e*Dorothy E.
