AND:
Do we really think we have understood what the words ‘critique of everyday life’
actually mean? Is it a question of describing what might be identical or analogous in
Amsterdam, in La Paz, in Rangoon, in Havana, in Helsinki, in Georgetown, in Seoul,
in Washington, in Warsaw, in Dakar, in Khartoum, in Tokyo, in Dublin, in Peking, in
New Delhi, in Madrid, in Montevideo, in Bern, in Brazzaville, in Ottawa, in Moscow,
in Guatemala?
