Philosophizing the Everyday: Revolutionary Praxis and the Fate of Cultural Theory by John Roberts
Requirements: PDF Reader, 1 MB
Overview: After modernism and postmodernism, it is argued, the everyday supposedly is where a democracy of taste is brought into being – the place where art goes to recover its customary and collective pleasures, and where the shared pleasures of popular culture are indulged, from celebrity magazines to shopping malls. John Roberts argues that this understanding of the everyday downgrades its revolutionary meaning and philosophical implications. Bringing radical political theory back to the centre of the discussion, he shows how notions of cultural democratization have been oversimplified. 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’.
