History of everyday in the context of foreign historiography

Abstract

The article examines the place of the history of everyday life in foreign historiography. It is noted that the fjrst interest in the material culture and history of everyday life arose among positivist historians at the turn of the 19 th and 20 th centuries. The study emphasises that the history of everyday life has received great recognition from medievalists and specialists in the history of Modern and Contemporary history. The subject of studying the history of everyday life is the sphere of human everyday life. It is shown that the history of everyday life can be considered as one of the components of the historical-anthropological approach. The author comes to the conclusion that the history of everyday life is a new promising direction of foreign historiography.
