Abstract

Our postulate in this paper is that it seems that the private sphere and the public sphere have a dialectical relationship in lifestyle. So, during the bottlenecks in the public sphere, the private sphere seeks the solution and a way out. In our contemporary society, private sphere has grown. This study searches new lifestyles that formed in this space. The place of this research is Dezful and its method is qualitative and phenomenal hermeneutics and field data has been gathered through in-depth interviews and targeted sampling and with regard to the lived experience of the participants. In the theoretical part, we used combined theory by guiding the field, which is based on the theories of Fiske, De Certeau, Lefebvre, Bourdieu, Clark, Heidegger, Giddens, Bastide, Habermas, Hegel, Lacan, Rorty, Deleuze, Guattari, and Frankl. And the new lifestyles have been analyzed with this combined theory. The findings show that with the public sphere diminishing, people are housed in the private sphere and create a new lifestyle and thus, the private sphere grows. Social actors distinguish themselves with economic capital and cultural capital And they reflect on different areas of their lives. They resist the dominant order. Finally, the expansion of the private sphere leads to self-creation. The expansion of the private sphere has political implications and it is a symptom that acts like a therapy. Everyday life is the context of meaning. And actors use special tactics in everyday life.
