the everyday
today I dedicate this lecture claudia persi haines who taught me that every DAY is the source of our everyday,
touti i giorni sonno nostri inspirationi, is the greatest of our inspirations - if we have the eyes to
see it.
‘the everyday is the most universal and the most unique,
the most social and the most individuated, the most obvious and the best hidden.’
henri lefebvre, 1987
The everyday exists below the threshold of the noticed and
is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
georges perec, species of spaces, 1974
‘if everyday is the realm of the unnoticed and the overlooked, however, it might be asked just how we can attend to it?
how do we drag the everyday into view?
why should we wish to investigate the everyday in the first place and bring it into view?
referring back to The banal
The quotidian The obvious
The common The ordinary
The background noise The habitual
how do we speak of these common things, to track them down, to flush them out …
how to give them meaning, a tongue, to let them, finally, speak of what it is,
who we are.
georges perec, species of spaces, 1974
to understand the effects of history (technology) on our private lives? loss of quilt about popular culture and its pleasures?

The quotidian The obvious

the body is man’s first and most natural instrument. or more accurately, not to speak of instruments,
man’s first and foremost technical object, and at the same time technical means,
is the body.
Marcel Mauss, Techniques of the Body. Economy and Society 2:1 (1973):75.
technics: the realization of a technical object
in the experience of the object itself.
b.steigler, the ister, 2004
the everyday is the site of a fundamental ambiquity:
It is both where we become alienated and where we can realize our creativity. It is a place where repetition and creativity confront each other.
maurice blanchot, l’homme de la rue, 1992
