ABSTRACT
Everyday life is, in all its simplicity and complexity, structured by timespace. As a sociologist, I have found the study of everyday life fascinating. Rather than beginning in an abstract, conceptual world, it has meant starting in individuals’ own accounts and reflections and in their understanding of the world in which they live. As a feminist researcher, it has meant inhabiting the world of women. It has involved taking as my starting point the ‘real bodies’ of individuals that are enmeshed in timespace.
