Reflexão sobre diferentes concepções de vida cotidiana no interior do marxismo

Abstract

This dissertation consists in the study of everyday life essence, category of reality whose function is to mediate the reproduction of men and society, from the reflection of different conceptions by three authors of the Marxist tradition: Henri Lefebvre, Agnes Heller and György Lukács. We develop a literature search about some works by these authors, divided into three chapters: in the first, we analyzed The Everyday Life in the Modern World from Lefebvre, whose ground of reflection about everyday life was twentieth-century France. In this, we identified an analysis of everyday life shifted from reality objectivity, which in many times distanced the work of this author from historical materialism of Marx; in the second chapter, we mainly use the Sociology of Everyday Life from Heller, with which we understood the role of mediator that everyday life plays in the reproduction of individuality and sociability. We also exposed the central categories of everyday life, such as heterogeneity, hierarchy, thought and work, which contribute to its peculiarity of being irrepressible; in the third and final chapter, we perform an analysis of three chapters of the Ontology of Social Being from Lukács (The Work, The Alienation and The Ideal and Ideology), which gave us a ontological vision of everyday life category. From these chapters we understood the material basis of everyday life, the alienating complexes that predominate in this environment, such as the knowledge process, i.e., the demystification of reality or the construction and maintenance of a misrepresented conception. We conclude that everyday life is not only the development space of man peculiarity, but also the possibility for the construction of collective struggle in search of authentic human genericity.
