Book Synopsis Non-places by : Marc Augé

Download or read book Non-places written by Marc Augé and published by Verso. This book was released on 1995 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ever-increasing proportion of our lives is spent in supermarkets, airports and hotels, on motorways or in front of TVs, computers and cash machines. This invasion of the world by what Marc Augé calls "non-space" results in a profound alteration of awareness: something we perceive, but only in a partial and incoherent manner. Augé uses the concept of "supermodernity" to describe a situation of excessive information and excessive space. In this fascinating essay he seeks to establish an intellectual armature for an anthropology of supermodernity.
