Overview
Concerned with the structures of cultural invisibility, unconscious rules of irrelevance and automatic frames of meaning, this book represents the first analysis of the sociology of unmarkedness and taken-for-grantedness, developing the key assumptions and underpinnings of the study of nondescript, humdrum social phenomena.
