Henri Lefebvre e la sociologia della noia
63-85 p.
- The French sociologist and philosopher Henri Lefebvre combined a rigorous critique of modernity with the search for utopian potentialities located in the hidden recesses of the every-day. This article will focus on a topic that is arguably central to his 'critique of everyday life' but has been entirely overlooked in the literature thus far: that of boredom. Often dismissed as trivial, boredom can be understood as a touchstone through which wider anxieties, socio-cultural changes, and subjective crises intrinsic to the modern world can be grasped. Curiously, although Lefebvre was very interested in boredom, he did not analyse it systematically, and used terms like 'boring' or 'boredom' in loose, elliptical, and seemingly contradictory ways. This reveals his ambivalence about this phenomenon, but also highlights subtle differentiations he makes between particular modalities of Some of these manifestations are unambiguously negative, whereas others are judged by Lefebvre more positively,
- because replete with myriad desires, frustrations, and transformative possibilities. Here, latent connections can be glimpsed between boredom and utopian propensities that caught the attention not only of Lefebvre, but also such thinkers as Ernst Bloch, Siegfried Kracauer, and Walter Benjamin.
