Abstract
This article aims to discuss the relationship between daily life and history. The analysis is developed in three stages: situating the issue of daily life in one of its principal expressions in sociology, focusing on phenomenology, in particular its concept of 'horizon', which I believe provides one of the keys for solving this theoretical problem, and finally seeking to relate this discussion more directly to the theoretical field of social systems, principally to the theory of social movements, since the latter have been viewed in modernity as prime inductors of historical change. The article focuses especially on the movements in this period of marked globalization, but also on the broader processes along the same lines. The theory of collective subjectivity furnishes the general underpinnings for the paper's argument.
