Shapinskaya, E. N. Dynamics of Everyday Life and the Escapism
Phenomenon
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the culture of everyday life as
a dynamically developing space involving more and more cultu
ral phenomena which used to be regarded as miracles, myths
and fantasies. Escapism is a necessary way out of everyday
rou tine. The author of the article describes the following forms of
esca pism: ‘external’ escapism (physical escape from everyday life),
‘alienation’ (perception of usual things and events in a completely
different light) and ‘internal’ escapism which allows us to dive into
the world of fantasy. Accordingly, the author defi nes the most
rep resentational spheres of escapism which are universal for all
cul tures. These spheres include religion, love and art. These are the
spheres the escapism is mostly expressed in. The author of the article
also touches upon the modern tendency to deep into virtual reality.
Based on the author, it is one of the most famous forms of escapism
nowadays and may cause quite questionable consequences. Every day
life and escapism are viewed as inseparably associated phenomena.
Keywords:
cultural studies, everyday life, dynamics, glo calization, escapism, fantasy, routine, culture, de-mythologization.
