Résumé
Literary Nonfiction. American West. Urban Studies. Common Place is the second part of a trilogy begun with Zeropolis, a broad archeological inquiry into the meanings of our daily urban world. Bégout's essay restores the poetry to that essential element of the contemporary imagination that is the motel, at the same time dissecting its myth. Far from a mere sample of the "American way of life," the motel reveals new forms of urban life in which mobility, wandering, and poverty play a dominant role. Standing at the intersection of economy, architecture, and fiction, Bégout's writing sheds light on the problematic character of ordinary things, revealing the fundamental structures hidden beneath their chaotic surface. Especially, what is laid bare here is that this special form of architecture has given birth to a "motel man" whose behavior prefigures new modes of life.
