How to Live Together: Novelistic Simulations of Certain Spaces of Everyday Life

This book presents the course of lectures delivered by Roland Barthes at the Collège de France in 1976–1977. In this work, the author explores various forms of shared living and coexistence, analyzing the spaces of everyday life through the prism of literary and philosophical texts. Barthes examines idiorrhythmy—a specific way of life in which the individual rhythm of each person is preserved even while coexisting.
