Articoli correlati a Non Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernit...
Most people spend an increasing amount of time in soulless, impersonal places: motorways, airports, in front of cash machines, TVs and computers. For the author, this is symptomatic of the experience of “supermodernity” or late-capitalist existence. The invasion of modern life by these “non-places” is central to this work. The book explores the distinction between “place,” encrusted with historical meaning and creative of social life, and “non-place,” to which individuals are connected in a uniform, bureaucratic manner and where no organic social life is possible.

Recensione:
“Shopping malls, motorways, airport lounges—we are all familiar with these curious spaces which are both everywhere and nowhere. But only now do we have a coherent analysis of their far-reaching effects on public and private experience. Marc Augé has become their anthropologist, and has written a timely and original book.”—Patrick Wright
“It is indeed very seldom that one finds it difficult to put down a book because of the intellectual excitement it generates. Augé’s Non-Places is such a book—a powerful message, modestly delivered, which stands out as a unique and refreshing anthropological voice.”—Current Anthropology
