Henri Lefebvre and the Colonization of Everyday Life: Extension of Advanced Capitalism Critique
Lefebvre analyzes how capitalism colonizes everyday life, transforming rhythms, signs, and private spaces into fetishistic alienation. This process shapes subjectivities conforming to global capitalist logics. #Lefebvre #EverydayLife #Alienation #Capitalism Henri Lefebvre develops a profound analysis of the colonization of everyday life that extends and embodies the critique…

I see some people would like some more of ordinary, everyday life. So here is a bit of my ordinary, basic life.
We went grocery shopping today. We live walking distance from a supermarket but we drove so we could do a big shop with a gift voucher we were given. There were a few items we wanted but they were out of stock. However, we managed to fill the shopping trolley.
We were a checkout team, my husband and I. We pride ourselves on our scanning and packing skills. I felt that I excelled at my Tetris and weight management as the packed bags started filling the trolley. Heavy things in the bottom of bags, then light things to fill the volume. It is good exercise lifting the bags from the floor into the trolley.
In reality, my packing skills were not up to par. One handle snapped as I was moving a packed bag at the supermarket. When we unloaded at home, more bags broke. But never mind, we have worms who are hungry for paper. As each bag snapped I said "more food for the wormies nom nom nom".
Morals of the story are:
1. No matter how much the Tetris works, 9 x 1 ltr UHT cartons are too heavy for one bag.
2. Worm farms are a great way of dealing with organic household rubbish.
3. Don't do your big grocery shopping on Mondays because the shelves have not been restocked since the weekend
4. I am stronger than a paper bag - but I suppose that isn't much to boast about. 😂 [laughing emoji]

In the past, I used to read the newspaper at breakfast. Today:
I try to imagine the most unbelievable, most bizarre plot for a very bad B-movie scifi.
Then I take a hearty sip of coffee and cautiously open a media website. My eyes quickly scan the day's disasters.
My plot was crazier? A great day!
Reality has overtaken my plot? Just a normal day in 2025.
I have to work on my plots.
