This paper discusses everyday life and lifestyle in the context of urban everyday life. The concept of everyday life articulates the totalities of space and time in modernity. It not only joins but also distinguishes the particular from the general, the unique from the universal, the abstract from the corporeal. The discussion presented here gives emphasis to the movement of forms in order to understand their logic in the dialectics of contents. This theoretical standpoint allows us to demonstrate how social-spatial segregation and other forms of social separation are able to develop into self-segregation, that is, into a condition of self-conceived and selfadministered segregation. The creation of self-segregated territories in urban space is the outcome of this process. The case of Alphaville, a private residential condominium surrounded by a favela, located in the surroundings of the city of São Paulo, is discussed in more detail.
