EVERYDAY CULTURE IN MODERN URBAN SPACE

Abstract

The purpose of this work is the theoretical reconstruction of the concept of “urban space” as one of the central concepts of modern socio-humanitarian and urbanization. Urban space and everyday life are considered as interdependent phenomena that determine the territorial boundaries and personal space of the subject’s existence, as well as the spiritual component and norms of its existence. The rapid development of the city negatively affects the traditional foundations of society and creates cultural priorities with new values of everyday life. The potential of modern culture, reflected in all spheres of public life, is mainly concentrated in the urban environment, where many trends in its development are manifested. In the modern sociocultural situation, everyday culture is capable of harmonizing human life and is becoming one of the important means of forming an integral cultural space of the city. The emphasis is on the idea of development and interpretation, consumption of urban space as a special form of production based on the creativity of everyday experience, transforming abstract “cartography”, as well as strategic planning of the city’s living environment. real city residents.

Materials and methods: The theories of everyday life by Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau are taken as the methodological basis for considering this phenomenon. The supposed heuristic potential of Henri Lefebvre's concept of space production and Michel de Certeau's theory of the tactical nature of everyday experience for understanding the processes and prospects for the development of a modern city is considered.
