Description
The aim of this book is to specify a particular approach to cultural history, one that addresses the detail of ordinary living as a means to seize on the intimate ways in which modernity registers at the individual level. Swanson argues that the ambiguity of such forms of evidence allow them to become suggestive of the improvisory nature of modern cultures of living, to provide glimpses of the arrangements of the everyday and to be taken as the residues of past lives.
