Lefebvre, H. - Clearing the Ground
1) What do you think was the purpose of the first four sections (i.e. the two objections and replies)? Do you think this was an effective method of engaging the reader’s own views on the everyday?
2) How does Lefebvre's reconceptualization of the everyday as a level differ from the standard view that it is some sort of custom/praxis/ritual?
3) Do Lefebvre’s examples of people operating at the everyday level, undermine his reconceptualization? That is, has he truly revolutionized our way of thinking about the everyday or has he merely put a slightly different spin on how we view it?
Bourriaud, N. - Relational Aesthetics
1) Bourriaud brought up the idea of immediate experience and interpersonal engagement, describing art as a state of encounter. Do you think it is possible to create passive/subliminal art? What might that be like?
2) Bourriaud states that modernization has replaced people with impersonal machines in certain situations, which destroys opportunities for exchange. However, modernization has also brought us machines, such as computers, that can create personal connections in ways that were impossible before. Do you think these new forms of modernization are adequate replacements for the types of interactions they have destroyed?
3) Do you think Hana has been successful in bringing our class "to life as thought it were artwork"?
