The Study On Lefebvre’s Theory Of Everyday Life Aesthetics

Heri Lefebvre(1901-1991)is a famous marxist theorist in France known for his study of everyday life.His theory of everyday life takes criticism as the general tone and aesthetics as the important position,and his theory scope involves many fields such as spatial turning,rhythm analysis,consumption culture,forming a mature aesthetic system of everyday life.Taking Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life as the main research object this paper analyzes and sorts out the theoretical sources and main contents of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life,on this basis,systematically explains the critical path and significance of Lefebvre,and investigates its influence on contemporary aesthetics of daily life and its contemporary value.In this paper,the study of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life is mainly composed of four parts.Firstly,it defines and divides the core concepts and theoretical development of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life,so as to build a framework and lay a foundation for the research of this paper.Secondly,it analyzes the three critical fields of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life.Explaining the dissimilation of literature,art,consumption and language constitutes the main content of Lefebvre’s aesthetic criticism of everyday life.In the field of literature and art Lefebvre attacks the negative escape of western modernism literature from daily life,affirming the artistic transformation of modern drama on daily life,and lays an artistic foundation for the formation of "cultural revolution" of aesthetics of everyday life.In the field of consumption,Lefebvre creatively puts forward the "consumption estheticism",which broke the "consumption illusion" in everyday life by elucidating the relationship between consumption and aesthetics.In the field of language,Lefebvre pointes out the most essential alienation of language from the perspective of sociology--the imbalance of semantic field.Thirdly,it expounds the revolutionary path of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life.Lefebvre is not a passive critic.In order to realize the revival of everyday life,he puts forward the theoretical conception of "cultural revolution" and proposes three paths of body revolution,space revolution and festival revival.In the aspect of body revolution,Lefebvre emphasizes the harmony between the rhythm of self and that of others.In the aspect of space revolution,Lefebvre takes the production of space as the breakthrough point to elaborate on it.In terms of the revival of festivals,Lefebvre advocates the transformation of alienated festivals with the "instant" festivals.Finally,by investigating the relationship between Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life and the aestheticization of everyday life in contemporary aesthetics,this paper explores and explains the value and influence of Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life.On the one hand,Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life promotes the theoretical research of western postmodernism and consumer society,on the other hand,it also promotes the emergence and development of the theory of "aesthetics of everyday life" in China.While criticizing alienation,Lefebvre’s aesthetics of everyday life builds a bridge of dialogue between aesthetics and everyday life and injects new opportunities for the development of contemporary aesthetics.
