Reading the Film “Aaahh Belinda” with a Lefebvrian Perspective

Abstract

In this paper, the seminal role of everyday life in societal and political sphere, which is not paid the due attention with the premises that it is allegedly simple and non-referential, is handled with a Lefebvrian perspective. Drawing on a Marxian perspective so as to freeing itself from a manipulative mystification, the everyday life notion is the final outcome of the need for restoring the reality. Within this perspective, it is aimed at shedding light on the notion of Lefebvrian everyday life through the analysis of the film “Aaahh Belinda” which is thought to be a good example for exhibiting the inclusive indicatives of everyday life such as relations of production and consumption, alienation and social gender.
