Non-places

Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity

av Marc Auge
Inbunden,  Engelska, 1995-03-01

Slutsåld

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. Marc Auge is the author of "Pouvoirs de Vie, "Pouvoirs de Mort", "Genie du Paganisme", Un Ethnogue dans le Metro" and "Domaines et Chateaux".
