Descrizione

The author presents in a succinct way his sociological approach of the «interstices of everyday life» which was launched in the late Nineties. It concerns a considerable range of ordinary experiences of everyday life which are either «in-between» (first level of interstices), «marginal» (second level) or pertaining to «parallel worlds» (third level). One example of the first level is waiting, of the second is represented by gift, of the third by humour. A table sums up about thirty distinct phenomena or experiences which have been studied over the years. The author then remarks that several connections and superpositions exist between interstitial and informal experiences in everyday life: examples such as gift and marginal urban life are discussed in this connection. So, the two approaches maintain different origins, respectively Sociology or Anthropology (interstices) and Economy (informal phenomena), as well as preferred fields of application, but they share a common general aim in that they try to discover latent actors’ attitudes within institutions which can result in unexpected events or new movements.
