Abstract

This paper attempts to identify the nature and structure of everyday historical culture, which is an important level of society’s historical culture. Further, it substantiates the possibility of using the term “everyday historical culture”, which serves as a general field of realization of the various forms of time’s presence in everyday life. The authors consider the essence of everyday historical culture as a special environment in which the universal human historicity, containing changeable and permanent elements, is unfolding. In addition, the most important methodological approaches to everyday life are analysed as a theoretical background helping to identify the historical structure of everyday culture. It was revealed that the opportunities of different methodological traditions in the analysis of everyday historical culture can correlate within the practical turn in philosophy. The paper shows that the existing concepts of practices allow us to study the structure of everyday historical culture in various ways. The authors conclude that, within the theory of practice going back to phenomenology and existentialism, the space of everyday historical culture can be structured in the context of body memory, commemorative functions of things, house, family and “places of memory”. Moreover, the limits of using existentialphenomenological philosophy in the analysis of everyday historical culture and historical consciousness are revealed here. The article substantiates the benefits of the theoretical model of everyday historical culture analysis, originating in the cultural and historical theory of L.S. Vygotsky and activity approach. This allows us to analyse the structure of everyday historical culture in the context of the practices of work, home life and leisure, as well as to reveal peculiarities of historical identification.
