We are used to seeing the everyday as an ordinary aspect of life,
something that we need to 'overcome', whereas it actually plays a
crucial role in any event of our lives. This highly original book
engages with a range of thinkers and texts from across the fields
of phenomenology, psychoanalysis and critical theory, including
Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Freud and Benjamin, together
with innovative analysis of French literature and the visual arts,
to demonstrate that the role of repetition and deferral in
modernity has changed dramatically. Rather than allowing the
everyday gradually to integrate singular events into its repetitive
texture, events are experienced now as self-enclosed entities,
allegedly disconnected from the everyday, leading to its
impoverishment. The book thus offers a novel understanding of
being, body, trauma and shock, but within the framework of the
everyday as a concept that deserves a theory of its very own.
