Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Obviously the work of historians like Ginzburg, Le Goff or Le Roy Ladurie is of the greatest interest to anthropologists." "Starobinski's article begins significantly with a quotation from the first poem in Baudelaire's Tableaux parisiens." "Even more than Baudelaire (who derived satisfaction from the mere urge to travel) one thinks at this point of Chateaubriand." --Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1992) by Marc Augé |

Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1992, French: Non-lieux: Introduction à une anthropologie de la surmodernité) is an essay and book of the same title by French anthropologist Marc Augé.
In it, he coined the phrase "non-place" to refer to places of transience that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as "places."
Examples of a non-place would be a motorway, a hotel room, an airport or a supermarket.
