"Everyday life"lies in the lowest lever of human's social structure , which is fundamental, empirical and repetitive. When the burden of mundane life becomes overweight, it will hinder human's progress. However, at the same time, it has its own value, that is, it is the happy home of human beings, because when we get bruised both physically and psychologically, it will provide a harbor for us to nurse ourselves. Heller tried to reshape the everyday life character and personality to fight against the modernity by constructing the recognition of everyday life, so as to launch a micro-revolution of delivering man from the governing of everyday life.When the industrial society shatters peoples free right to opt a life into pieces and the increasingly crazy rationality gravely suppresses the diversity of life. People suddenly discover that in modern society, everyday life, which has been ignored since ancient times, has become a big smoking-hot issue and needed in-depth reflection. The awakening of humanity and the full display of personality let people gradually from a consciousness, namely the attempt to solve the contradiction between the present existence and tradition by one's own ability in daily life.Everyday life lives on generation after generation from the past to the present, which provides the soil and foundation for the various social living relations and social changes to germinate and develop. In all the temporal and spatial dimensions of human life, everyday life, which is substantial, ubiquitous, and trivial, has become the fillers of the basic form of life or even the basic form itself to display life. The thesis demonstrates a fresh viewpoint and arouses novel thinking by close attention paid to the academic of everyday life.Under the influence of commercialization, the"Disenchantment of arts", up to now, has realized the integration between arts and life margins to a great degree, for arts is no longer the privilege belonging to the minority know as"cultural elite s", and it has transformed existing states, whether that of arts or of human beings. However, since the extremely commercialized and institutionalized arts can't touch on the truest phenomenon of man's existence and more, the existence of human beings is dismembered and smashed. Then, what kinds of responses do the present Chinese arts make to the general question, that is, the"internationalized life"of arts? How does it differ in demonstration and ways? What originality will it provide for us in practical system? Will it have an unable"knot"in the face of world wide hard-nut? What will the vista for to solve these questions look like?The traditional art theory takes the relation between arts and daily life simply as that of representing and being represented, while confronted with the logic of fame and fortune run by power and institutions in the confused fields of modern arts, the relation becomes unusual. What does art mean? Heller holds that everyday life, a field formed for the substantial meaning, is the depositing layer of culture teeming with ethics and transformable elements. Walking to the middle strip between radical Utopia and rationalism, she strives to seek a new footholding place for the homeless arts. Her exploration of relation between arts, everyday life and institutions will be the meaningful methodology which will lift the modern and present arts out of plight.
