Abstract

Michel de Certeau created a poetics of everyday life; there is no popular poetics without a poetics of sentiments. From the perspective of cultural theory, Certeau's contribution to Cultural Studies has laid the foundations of popular sentiment through the aesthetics of everyday life. Certeau opposed the views of Henri Lefebvre, who had set the prolegomenon of this popular behavior,, as based on a philosophical theory of humankind. All this positivist empiricism was inherited and used by Michel de Certeau as a basis for a poetics of sentiments, which is explored by this article.
