In assembling these fragments, sprinkled through Lefebvre’s vast oeuvre, Patrick Gamsby constructs the core elements of Lefebvre’s latent theory of boredom. Themes of time (modernity, everyday), space (urban, suburban), and mass culture (culture industry, industry culture) are explored throughout the book, unveiling a concealed dialectical movement at work with the experience of boredom. In analyzing at the dialectic of boredom, Gamsby argues that Lefebvre’s project of a critique of everyday life is key for making sense of the linkages between boredom and everyday life in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Birth of Boredom in Modernity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Absence of Style in Everyday Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Incredible Dullness of Urbanism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Endless Yawn of the Suburbs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Emptiness of Consumption\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The Numbness of Work\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041994604887,"sku":"9781666900972","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666900972.jpg?v=1750952528","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/henri-lefebvre-boredom-and-everyday-life-9781666900972","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
