Social relations are essentially structures of everyday knowledge

Evidence

In the work of Schutz, we see the “sociology of knowledge” taken to its most extreme point. We are no longer concerned with the relation between social knowledge and social relations. Social relations are conceived as, essentially, structures of knowledge (provided we treat “knowledge” in its widest, everyday sense, and do not confuse it with systematic ideas, with “ideologies” in their more limited sense). — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 348
