Everyday sociology. Drinking coffee, washing socks, mending a fence.

This book is about what we encounter on the street or at home, on vacation or at work, while traveling or at our dachas every day, and don't even notice. Or rather, we notice, but we don't ascribe to the deep meaning, significance, and content hidden in people and things. Only a sociologist, using large amounts of social data, can discern the big in the small, and the great in the insignificant. Socks, coffee, fences, sofas, dishes—what could be more familiar? Coffeehouses, which appeared in the 17th century, allowed the middle class to stay abreast of everyday affairs, engage in discussions, and further scientific thought and education, and today they also provide the opportunity to work remotely. Fences and socks appeared much earlier and have remained a constant presence in people's lives, no matter what they do or where they go. They warm and protect, create comfort, and divide people into groups and strata, expressing their status ambitions.
The book is addressed to a wide range of specialists and non-specialists, to those who, in order to broaden their horizons or the specifics of their studies, are interested in issues of sociology, cultural studies, philosophy and related disciplines.
