| Summary: | <p>The article attempts to find an adequate interpretation of the concept of everyday life that can be applied to school realities. Recognition of the map of terms, among which the category of the everyday locates, and further clarification of its semantic field with simultaneous presentation of one’s own, individual way to understand it, constitute an outline of considerations brought up in the text. The category of the everyday (re)defined by the school contexts has been shown against such a background.</p><p>In the proposed interpretation, on the one hand, the school everyday life takes the form of simple student activities and performed obligations in a well-known, safe environment and space, transparent relationships and reasonable personal aspirations. On the other hand, it is associated with challenges and difficult to overcome adversity in the fluid world of the school life that is so commonly defined by the dependency and power relations.</p><p>One of the most important aspects in the presented text, namely the instability, has become an important and intriguing motive of reflection on everyday life. It turns out that improvisation and stopgap as well as repeatability and predictability are daily life inherent attributes. Paradoxically, you can consciously experience everyday life only when it becomes extraordinary.</p> |
