Short Abstract:

Our everyday lives are filled with activities and actions that we repeat on a daily basis. We invite papers on the repetition and the recurrence, the resumption and the reinvention of everyday habits. Papers may focus on either the (re-)formation of specific habits or habits as a field of research.

Long Abstract:

Walking the dog. Washing your hands. Waiting in line. Our everyday lives are filled with activities and actions that we repeat on a daily basis. Usually, we perform such everyday actions without giving much thought to what we do or why we do it. Having to consciously calculate every step and decide what to do in each situation would drain us of energy and consume an excessive amount of time. Without habits and routines, everyday life would be unbearably complicated. But how does something become a habit and why do we stick to a routine? When does it become a hindrance more than a help, and what is required to change it? Will the temporary adaptations we have had to make during the pandemic become permanent? Is it at all possible to return to the everyday lives the way it used to be and re-adopt the habits we entertained before the pandemic? The study of everyday habits was an important research topic for earlier generations of ethnologists and folklorists, and in this session, we want return to them. We invite papers on the repetition and the recurrence, the resumption and the reinvention of everyday habits. Papers may focus on either the (re-)formation of specific habits or habits as a field of research. We welcome papers in English.
