Everyday Life and Urban Studies: Moving With Lefebvre Towards the 21st Century

Autor Sabine Knierbein
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2025
Everyday Life and Urban Studies revisits the ordinary routines that shape urban life during the crises-ridden last century and early new millennium. Vast parts of Henri Lefebvre’s intellectual work on everyday life however remain underappreciated in urban studies. This book seeks to re-integrate Lefebvre’s Critique of Everyday Life into studies of urbanization. Starting in the 1920s, the book realigns historical insights with contemporary urban phenomena to uncover patterns of capitalist urbanization. By showing the relevance of grasping the minutiae of everyday life to understanding cities, the urban and urbanization today; everyday life, space, and philosophy are brought back in tension. This work combines analytical-methodological exploration, pedagogic mission, and theoretical advances to carve out an everyday-theory-based approach to urban studies situated at the interface of the spatial arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. This book examines the transformative potential that lies hidden in everyday life thereby unravelling a way to nurture hope amid unsettled urban conditions.
The book is essential for students, faculty, and researchers in the fields of urban studies, city planning, urban design, human geography, sociology, cultural studies, and political science.

Recenzii

"This exceptional book tackles the everyday from new and challenging perspectives interweaving theories from across the social sciences, humanities and spatial arts. Drawing insights and knowledges from each of these fields, which are also embedded in a rich historical exploration, this book successfully shifts the study of the everyday from a more micro scale to a large canvas posing important questions of relevance to the contemporary unsettled world."
Sophie Watson, Professor, Sociology Department, Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
"This is a novel critical analysis of Lefebvre interpretations that brings together two perspectives that are usually treated in separate fields of study: the analysis of everyday life and of the production of space. It thus allows us to develop a new understanding of the social world."
Christian Schmid, Professor of Sociology, Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
"It is more than half a century since Lefebvre published the Critique of Everyday Life, but his ideas continue to be a rich source of inspiration for scholars seeking to understand the city by delving into competing practices in and of everyday life. This book is the latest and perhaps most ambitious of such scholarship. By combining empirical materials, methodological innovations, and theoretical groundings, the book provides new insights into the multiple ways in which everyday life shape our urban conditions."
Simin Davoudi, Professor, School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Newcastle University, UK
