Abstract
Everyday life is one of the building blocks of cultural studies. Many theorists have been trying to study the problems of everyday life critically، the area which has been neglected by the academic macro-micro sociologies. Succeeding schools of the 20th Century Philosophies and Sociologies criticize the previous ones for being too abstract. Trying to be more concrete، the modern schools of thought attempt to reach the bottom rock of people's dealing with the world. This challenge leads to the primacy of the critical study of everyday life in social thought. Critical theorists of everyday life such as Lefebvre insist that studying everyday life requires interdisciplinary theories and methods. One of the main tasks of sociologists is to represent the hidden potentialities of people to them by the help of art. In this way people will hopefully recognize the present conditions of their social world and try to change it and reach a more humane and ethical one. This essay tries to undertake this task by critically interpreting the representations of everyday life in one of the films of the Iranian Cinema، Unruled paper by Nasser Taghvayi.
