| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. 138-143) and index Prologue: Dangerous Memories --- 1. The Everyday and the Philosophy of Praxis --- 2. The Everyday as Trace and Remainder --- 3. Lefebvre's Dialectical Irony: Marx and the Everyday "Many theorists conceptualize the 'everyday' as a place where a democracy of taste is brought into being. After modernism and postmodernism, they argue, art is to be found everywhere celebrity magazines to shopping malls. John Roberts argues that this understanding of the everyday downgrades its revolutionary meaning and philosophical implications. Asserting that the everyday should not be narrowly identified with the popular, Roberts critiques the way in which the concept is now overly associated with consumption and 'ordinariness'. Engaging with the work of key thinkers including, Lukács, Arvatov, Benjamin, Lefebvre, Gramsci, Barthes, Vaneigem, and de Certeau, Roberts shows how the concept of the everyday continues to be central to debates on ideology, revolution and praxis. He offers a lucid account of different approaches that developed over the course of the twentieth century."--Book cover |
