A debate with Michael Sheringham to mark the paperback publication of Everyday Life: Theories and Practices from Surrealism to the Present (Oxford University Press, 2009).

A propos de l'ouvrage:

In the last twenty years the concept of the quotidien, or the everyday, has been prominent in contemporary French culture and in British and American cultural studies. This book provides the first comprehensive analytical survey of the whole field of approaches to the everyday. By demonstrating the enduring contribution of Perec, Barthes, Certeau and others, and exploring the Surrealist and Situationist inheritance, the book proposes a genealogy for the remarkable upsurge of interest in the everyday since the 1980s. Michael Sheringham is Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature at Oxford and a Fellow of All Souls College. He has written extensively on André Breton and Surrealism, on modern and contemporary French poetry, and on Autobiography and related genres.
