Everyday knowledge

Article Abstract:

Everyday knowledge is a socio-cultural universal, a repertoire of shared and embodied norms, techniques and interpretive frameworks built up by all human societies. It is within the sphere of everyday knowledge that a human being acquires certain skills and competencies, via acculturation and socialization, which allow one to become a full participant in social life, especially through the crucial media of language, tools and norms.

Creation/accumulation city

Article Abstract:

A conceptual framework connecting the creation city to modernity is presented by interpreting Fortier's archetypes through the anthropological work of W.T. Jones. The paradigmatic importance of the accumulation city seems to be increasing and the interest in the accumulation city is related to a discord, which is a characteristic of modernity.
