  • Michel de Certeau was a French Jesuit and scholar whose work combined history, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the social sciences. Michel de Certeau was born in 1925 in Chambéry, France. Certeau's education was eclectic. After obtaining degrees in classics and philosophy at the universities of Grenoble, Lyon, and Paris, he undertook religious training at a seminary in Lyon, where he entered the Jesuit order (Society of Jesus) in 1950 and was ordained in 1956. Certeau entered the Society of Jesus hoping to do missionary work in China. In the year of his ordination, Certeau became one of the founders of the journal Christus, with which he would actively be involved for much of his life. In 1960 he earned his doctorate in theology from the Sorbonne after completing a thesis on the mystical writings of Jean-Joseph Surin. Certeau was greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud and was, along with Jacques Lacan, one of the founding members of École Freudienne de Paris, an informal group which served as a focal point for French scholars interested in psychoanalysis. He came to public attention after publishing an article dealing with the events in France of May 1968. He also took part in Robert Jaulin's department of ethnology at the University of Paris-VII after May 68. Certeau went on to teach at several universities in locations as diverse as Geneva, San Diego, and Paris. Through the 1970s and 1980s he produced a string of works that demonstrated his interest in mysticism, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis. To date, Certeau's most well-known and influential work in the United States has been The Practice of Everyday Life. In it, he combined his disparate scholarly interests to develop a theory of the productive and consumptive activity inherent in everyday life. According to Certeau, everyday life is distinctive from other practices of daily existence because it is repetitive and unconscious. In this context, Certeau’s study of everyday life is neither the study of “popular culture,” nor is it necessarily the study of everyday resistances to regimes of power. Instead, Certeau attempts to outline the way individuals unconsciously navigate everything from city streets to literary texts. Perhaps the most influential aspect of The Practice of Everyday Life has emerged from scholarly interest in Certeau’s distinction between the concepts of strategy and tactics. Certeau links "strategies" with institutions and structures of power, while "tactics" are utilized by individuals to create space for themselves in environments defined by strategies. In the influential chapter "Walking in the City," he describes "the city" as a "concept," generated by the strategic maneuvering of governments, corporations, and other institutional bodies who produce things like maps that describe the city as a unified whole, as it might be experienced by someone looking down from high above. By contrast, the walker at street level moves in ways that are tactical and never fully determined by the plans of organizing bodies, taking shortcuts or meandering aimlessly in spite of the utilitarian layout of the grid of streets. This concretely illustrates Certeau's assertion that everyday life works by a process of poaching on the territory of others, recombining the rules and products that already exist in culture in a way that is influenced, but never wholly determined, by those rules and products.

  • Michel de Certeau fue un jesuita, historiador y filósofo francés. Inició su formación religiosa en el seminario de la Universidad de Lyon, entrando en 1950 en la Compañía de Jesús.

Fue un estudioso de las fuentes del primer siglo de operaciones de la Compañía de Jesús (1540-1640) e historiador de la mística del Renacimiento en la época clásica. Es uno de los fundadores de la Escuela Freudiana de París, dirigida por Jacques Lacan. Reflexionó sobre el mayo francés, momento decisivo en que, a su juicio: se tomó la palabra como se tomó la Bastilla en 1789. Es un admirador de las artes del hacer, que organizan la vida cotidiana del hombre común, debatió muchos postulados de las ciencias sociales y humanas. Fue director de estudios de l'Ecole des Hautes Études et Sciences Sociales de París y profesor en San Diego y Ginebra Como historiador frecuentemente quiso dar explicaciones sobre la historia y su historiografía, pero la cuestión estaba realmente en la profundidad de su manera de concebir y de llegar a practicar su oficio de historiador. Se puede decir que es un apasionado historiador interesado por la epistemología, la mística y las corrientes religiosas de los siglos siglo XVI y siglo XVII.
