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

‘the everyday is all the stuff in the world.

what is stuff?

‘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?

technology, the birth of…. the ister

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

knowledge of the body

m.jackson, 1983.

can be evident can be suggestive can be predictive

can be a starting point.

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
