Bio Sketch
Gregory Paschalidis is a scholar of cultural theory and semiotics (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) working on cultural studies, media, and the theory of the everyday. With Lia Yoka he edited Semiotics and Hermeneutics of the Everyday (2015), whose Introduction traces the everyday's itinerary from Baudelaire's modernity through Freud, Heidegger, Simmel/Elias/Benjamin/Kracauer/Loos, Barthes' "semioclasm," Lefebvre's critique, de Certeau's tactics, and Eco's "semiological guerilla warfare," to the anthropological turn (Garfinkel, Goffman, microhistory, Alltagsgeschichte) that canonized the everyday. (Bio details partially reconstructed; the raw scan is OCR-damaged and names him only as co-editor.)

Relevance to the Core Research
The volume's Introduction is a compact historiography of the everyday that independently corroborates and extends the wiki's History of the Everyday arc, and its account of Barthes' Mythologies as "semioclasm" alongside Lefebvre's critique connects the wiki's semiotic thread (semiotics) to its everyday thread (everyday-life).
