The article provides an insight into historical and contemporary developments in the study of everyday culture in the German-speaking world and Europe. It focuses on the modernization of German “Volkskunde” in the context of denationalization and Europeanization and its theoretical and methodological opening towards the international humanities and social sciences. In particular, epistemic self-understandings of an ethnographic cultural analysis of everyday life will be examined – initially from a more general perspective, in a further step exemplarily using the cases of current approaches to cultures of knowledge, spatiality and cultural heritage.
