La vie quotidienne, entre colonisation et émancipation

Abstract

Henri Lefebvre's thinking was not indifferent to differences, to identity specificities and their ways of asserting their own existence. On the other side, anthropology was not entirely cut off from his contribution, as Georges Condominas' book, The Exotic is Every Day can testify for it, conceived as it was in the wake of the Critic of Every Day Life. Nowadays, it's more the diversification of social spaces within world cities than the attraction for far away exotic settings that impels to revisit such Lefebvrian concepts as moment, style or rhythm, capable of casting a revealing light on what is here coined as « minority alterity ». More precisely, how his theory of moments can still help to compose a dynamic score for the diversity of urban worlds? © L'Harmattan.
