Abstract

This article analyzes the possibilities of application and development of ideas of sociology of everyday life by A. Schutz's to the study of the lifeworld of Ukrainian soldiers returning home from the ATO zone. In particular, attention is focused on his work «The Homecomer» (1945, Chicago), in which the problem of the house was considered in relation to the soldier, who had returned to his home, which appears to him not for what it was, what he was expecting to see. The key ideas and concepts of the sociology of everyday life, which can be included in the conceptual apparatus of the sociological study of the lifeworld of Ukrainian soldiers returning home from the ATO zone are considered. The possibility and prospects of studying problems of the soldier returning home at the intersection of sociology of conflict and sociology of everyday life are grounded. Special attention is paid to the fact that it is necessary to take into account the ratio of the lifeworld transformation and the image of conflict, as well as the situation of conflict of interpretations.
