Practice of Everyday Life
To remain unconsumed by consumer society--this was the goal, pursued through a world of subtle and practical means, that beckoned throughout the first volume of The Practice of Everyday Life. Michel de Certeau, Luce Giard, and Pierre Mayol develop a social history of "making do" based on microhistories that move from the private sphere (of dwelling, cooking, and homemaking) to the public (the experience of living in a neighborhood). The second volume of the work delves even deeper than did the first into the subtle tactics of resistance and private practices that make living a subversive art.
Through these accounts the speakers, "ordinary" people all, are revealed to be anything but A series of interviews--mostly with women--allows us to follow the subjects' individual routines, composed of the habits, constraints, and inventive strategies by which the speakers negotiate daily life.
