Originally published just months before the May 1968 upheavals in France, Raoul Vaneigems The Revolution of Everyday Life offered a lyrical and aphoristic critique of the society of the spectacle from the point of view of individual experience. Whereas Debords masterful analysis of the new historical conditions that triggered the uprisings of the 1960s armed the revolutionaries of the time with theory, Vaneigems book described their feelings of desperation directly, and armed them with formulations capable of firing pointblank on our enemies.I realise, writes Vaneigem in his introduction, that I have given subjective will an easy time in this book, but let no one reproach me for this without first considering the extent to which the objective conditions of the contemporary world advance the cause of subjectivity day after day.Vaneigem names and defines the alienating features of everyday life in consumer society: survival rather than life, the call to sacrifice, the cultivation of false needs, the dictatorship of the commodity, subjection to social roles, and above all the replacement of God by the Economy. And in the second part of his book, Reversal of Perspective, he explores the countervailing impulses that, in true dialectical fashion, persist within the deepest alienation: creativity, spontaneity, poetry, and the path from isolation to communication and participation.For To desire a different life is already that life in the making. And fulfillment is expressed in the singular but conjugated in the plural.The present English translation was first published by Rebel Press of London in 1983. This new edition of The Revolution of Everyday Life has been reviewed and corrected by the translator and contains a new preface addressed to Englishlanguage readers by Raoul Vaneigem. The book is the first of several translations of works by Raoul Vaneigem that PM Press plans to publish in uniform volumes. Vaneigems classic work is to be followed by The Knight, the Lady, the Devil, and Death (2003) and The Inhumanity of Religion (2000).
