Summary/Abstract: The interest in the ordinary, everyday life, inscribed deeply in Georges Perec’s prose, was the reason for which he developed and theorized the notion of “infra-ordinaire” that determined non only most of his literary projects, but also his point of view on the reality. The aim of this work is to see some of Perec’s texts, for which he chose the privileged form of list, from the new perspective and to verify if their immersion into day-to-day life possesses an existential dimension. The methodology used for this purpose relies on the work of Polish philosopher Jolanta Brach-Czaina gathered in the book Szczeliny istnienia.
