Abstract

This article analyzes some aspects of the contribution of the Alfred Schutz’ phenomenological sociology to approach everyday life, discussing especially the constitution of lifeworld. These contributions are connected to the analysis of narratives on biography and on everyday life, which are urning to be relevant considering the increasing challenges with which individuals are confronted to in contemporary societies, also in “peripheral” societies, like the Brazilian. Schutz’s phenomenological approach conceives to individuals a reasonable interpretative possibility. The permanent reconfiguration of similarities and differences to others operated by individuals is done on the lifeworld, in which works the systems of relevance and typification as the key to understand individual’s action in everyday life. Keywords: Everyday life; Lifeworld; Intersubjetivity; Narrative; Alfred Schutz
