VOICE MAITE DONO - MUSIC BY EL INTRUSO - GUY DEBORD - PERSPECTIVES FOR CONCIOUS CHANGES IN EVERY DAY LIFE (08) THE UNDERDEVELOPMENT OF EVERYDAY LIFE CANNOT BE CHARACTERIZED SOLELY BY ITS RELATIVE INABILITY TO PUT VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES TO GOOD USE. THIS INABILITY IS ONLY ONE CONSEQUENCE (THOUGH AN IMPORTANT ONE) OF EVERYDAY ALIENATION AS A WHOLE, WHICH COULD BE DEFINED AS THE INABILITY TO INVENT A TECHNIQUE FOR THE LIBERATION OF EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE. EVERYTHING REALLY DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL AT WHICH THIS PROBLEM IS POSED: HOW IS OUR LIFE? IN WHAT WAYS ARE WE SATISFIED WITH IT? IN WHAT WAYS ARE WE DISSATISFIED WITH IT? WITHOUT FOR A MOMENT LETTING OURSELVES BE INTIMIDATED BY THE VARIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS DESIGNED TO PERSUADE US THAT WE CAN BE HAPPY BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD OR COLGATE TOOTHPASTE OR THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PHRASE CRITIQUE OF EVERYDAY LIFE COULD AND SHOULD ALSO BE UNDERSTOOD IN THIS REVERSE SENSE: AS EVERYDAY LIFES SOVEREIGN CRITIQUE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS EXTERNAL OR IRRELEVANT TO ITSELF.
