Continuity at the Two Poles of Everyday Life Sociology: Henri Lefebvre in the Footnote of Michel De Certeau

Year 2021, Volume: 41 Issue: 2, 319 - 350, 31.12.2021

Abstract

Henri Lefebvre’s and Michel de Certeau’s approaches to everyday life continue to remain the two most dominant paradigms in today’s social sciences. As two distinguished figures of everyday life sociology, Lefebvre’s and de Certeau’s methodological tools, sources, and intellectual backgrounds as well as the scope they purposed to reach differ from each other. Despite all these differences, the area where their long-term conceptualizations of everyday-life theory intersect offers an opportunity to frame an important perspective on everyday life sociology. De Certeau, who significantly benefitted from Lefebvre, only mentioned Lefebvre once in a footnote on his study of everyday life, a footnote that makes up the starting point of this study. By drawing from this footnote, studying the everyday life works of two thinkers together conspicuously allows the everyday life critiques of Lefebvre to be traced in de Certeau’s everyday life theory. This study is an attempt to study the everyday life approaches of both thinkers together beyond an eclectic adaptation of the theories of Lefebvre and de Certeau and follows the continuity of the ways the two thinkers problematized everyday life using their conceptual trajectory.

Gündelik Hayat Sosyolojisinin İki Kutbunda Süreklilik: Michel De Certeau’nun Dipnotundaki Henri Lefebvre

Abstract

Henri Lefebvre ve Michel de Certeau’nun gündelik hayat yaklaşımları, bugün hala sosyal bilimlerde en baskın iki paradigma olmaya devam ediyor. Gündelik hayat sosyolojisinin iki önemli figürü olarak Lefebvre ve de Certeau’nun metodolojik araçları, kaynakları, entelektüel bagajları ve ulaşmayı hedefledikleri menzil birbirinden farklıdır. Aralarındaki tüm bu farklıklara rağmen her ikisinin de gündelik hayata ilişkin açtığı uzun soluklu kavramsallaştırmaların sürekliliği, gündelik hayat sosyolojisine ilişkin önemli bir perspektifi çerçevelemenin imkânını sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın hareket noktasını oluşturan Lefebvre’den önemli ölçüde yararlanan de Certeau’nun gündelik hayat çalışmasında kendisinden yalnızca bir kez bahsettiği bir dipnottur. Söz konusu dipnottan hareketle her iki düşünürün gündelik hayat çalışmasını birlikte okumak de Certeau’nun gündelik hayat teorisinde Lefebvre’nin gündelik hayat eleştirilerinin çarpıcı bir biçimde izini sürme imkânı verir. Lefebvre ve de Certeau’nun teorilerinin karşılaştırılması ve eklektik bir uyarlamasından öte, her iki düşünürün gündelik hayat yaklaşımlarını birlikte okuma denemesi olan bu çalışmada, gündelik hayatın sorunsallaştırılma biçiminin iki düşünür arasındaki sürekliliği kavramsal izlek üzerinden takip edilmektedir.
