Whilst the ‘everyday’ is, of course, a temporal designator, connected to the chronology of human experience, in reality, ‘everyday life’ historians have often used a spatial frame to seek to understand past historical actors’ everyday lives, experiences and practices. Focusing on Fascist Italy and using the example of ‘bars’ and the practices of consumption, political (and other) sociability, transaction and exchanges enacted within these spaces, this article explores some of the possibilities opened up by using a spatial frame to examine everyday practices and lived experiences in a dictatorial context. Thinking about ‘everyday life’ and the lived experience of dictatorship through a spatial lens not only requires a shift in terms of the venues that we investigate, away from classic seats and sites of formal projections of power and towards those spaces – like bars – in which the ‘unofficial relations of power’ were articulated and negotiated. It also prompts us to ‘play with scales’, as Jacques Revel put it, to examine the unit of the individual body, the street, or the city not just to identify microscopic historical practices, but to understand how macroscopic structures, processes and power relations operated at the level of the everyday and vice versa, highlighting dynamic, reciprocal relationships – between institutions and individuals, state and society, centre and periphery, and among historical actors themselves – and to examine the processes of movement between these scales of experience. In this way, through the examination of interactions and practices enacted in Italian bars, the article will explore a novel facet of the ‘lived experience’ of these dictatorships and demonstrate the value in understanding dictatorships as being constructed neither exclusively ‘from above’ or ‘from below’ but both between and across these units of analysis.

日常空间:法西斯意大利的酒吧、酒精和日常政治实践和互动的空间框架

虽然“日常生活”当然是一个时间指示符,与人类经验的年表相关,但实际上,“日常生活”历史学家经常使用空间框架来寻求了解过去历史演员的日常生活、经历和实践. 本文以法西斯意大利为重点,以“酒吧”为例,以及在这些空间内实施的消费、政治(和其他)社交、交易和交流的实践,探讨了通过使用空间框架来审视日常生活所开辟的一些可能性独裁背景下的实践和生活经验。通过空间镜头思考“日常生活”和独裁统治的生活经历不仅需要改变我们调查的场所,远离经典的座位和正式的权力投射场所,转向那些空间——比如酒吧——在其中表达和协商“非官方的权力关系”。正如雅克·雷维尔 (Jacques Revel) 所说,它还促使我们“玩弄尺度”,检查个体身体、街道或城市的单位,不仅要识别微观历史实践,还要了解宏观结构、过程和权力如何关系在日常生活的层面上运作,反之亦然,强调动态的、互惠的关系——机构与个人、国家与社会、中心与外围以及历史参与者之间——并检查这些经验尺度之间的运动过程。通过这种方式,通过对意大利酒吧互动和实践的检验,
