ABSTRACT
The Museum of Modern Art in New York has recently organized an exhibition about new forms of living; it was titled “The Un-Private House.” Below, I refer to three examples from this exhibition.
If we talk about the end of unambiguity (Zygmund Baumann), about distraditionalization (Anthony Giddens), about the flexible man (Richard Sennet), about the relief of work by other activities (Jeremy Rifkin), about globalization that comes along with individualization (Ulrich Beck); and when we talk about how these social changes take place, in what relation to the transformation of products and processes, then most happen in the nonspectacular world of everyday life-a process of impenetrable ambivalence.
