The subject course Sociology of Everyday Life is an obligatory part of the second year of the bachelor's degree programme in Sociology. It is related to the subject courses in the first year of the bachelor's degree programme in Sociology "Foundations of Sociological Analysis" and "Social Institutions and Processes" because they represent the foundations of sociological analysis which, in this specific case, are applied to the analysis of everyday life. It is also related to the obligatory subject courses on the bachelor's degree programme in Sociology "Sociological Theory II" and "Sociological Theory III" because these work on the macro and micro theoretical aspects that shape contemporary social realities.

To do this subject course students must first have studied identifying, defining and analysing the social factors that explain processes of continuity and change in social realities. The purpose of this subject course with a view to professional practice is to critically observe and analyse the impact on most immediate, local sphere of life of the social, economic, legal, cultural and political processes previously studied from a macrosocial perspective in other subject courses.

- Explaining the processes in everyday life of which students are part in a sociological way.

- Critically observing and analysing the impact on their most immediate, local sphere of life of the social, economic, legal, cultural and political processes studied from a more macro perspective.

- Identifying the basic aspects of social life, such as differences in age, generation, gender and so on.

- Discerning the processes whereby society is structured in space and time, as well as the relationship between the social body and contexts.

- Differentiating between the processes that form what we understand as common sense, i.e. the repertoire of non-specialist knowledge through which we construct a sense of everyday existence.

. Knowledge of ordinary knowledge

. How everyday life is structured in space and time

. Interpersonal relations

. Everyday life and technology

. Everyday policy: the politicisation of everyday life

The subject course is fundamentally based on a practical piece of work about students' everyday life, from a double standpoint of analysis and intervention. The analytical dimension will be worked on through practical group and individual work and the writing of research reports. The intervention dimension will call for ethnographic techniques and interventions in students' everyday life with appropriate documentation and collection of information.
