Marc Augé: Non Place

Marc Augé is a french anthropologist who coined the phrase "Non-Place" to refer to places of transience that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as "places" in an essay and book, "Non Places:Introduction to an Anthropology of Super modernity"(1995), Examples of a non-place would be a motorway, a hotel room, shopping street an airport abandoned buildings or a supermarket....I find this study really interesting as living in any city in Ireland over the past few years of rescission see us surrounded by abandoned shops and buildings....Im going to go around limerick later this evening and investigate local "Non Places" and take some photography......
