The Practice of Everyday Life

by Michel De Certeau

The Practice of Everyday Life Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Repackage of a classic sociology text in which the author developes the idea of resistance to social and economic pressures.

Synopsis:

Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature in analytic philosophy, linguistics, sociology, semiology, and anthropology--to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.

Synopsis:

Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behaviour are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics and culture.
