Abstract
This paper comments on a paradox that seems to be the crux of
everyday aesthetics: the aesthetic character of the non–aesthetic. The
‘everyday’, characterised as the routine, familiar, taken for granted, or
just unnoticed, seems to be opposite to that marked as worth looking at,
and aesthetically contemplating. The aim of the article is to hold that
the unreflective consciousness of objects, environments and events in
everyday life permits their aesthetic appreciation. The paper considers
the role that art and memories play in bringing into consciousness that
which was previously ‘unnoticed’.
