An ever-increasing proportion of our lives is spent in supermarkets, airports and hotels, on motorways or in front of TVs, computer and cash machines. This invasion of the world by what Marc Auge calls ‘non-space’ results in a profound alteration of awareness: something we perceive, but only in a partial and incoherent manner. Auge uses the concept of ‘supermodernity’ to describe the logic of these late-capitalist phenomena—a logic of excessive information and excessive space. In this fascinating and lucid essay he seeks to establish and intellectual armature for an anthropology of supermodernity. Starting with an attempt to disentangle anthropology from history, Auge goes on to map the distinction between place, encrusted with historical monuments and creative social life, and non-place, to which individuals are connected in a uniform manner and where no organic social life is possible.
Unlike Baudelairean modernity, where old and new are interwoven, supermodernity is self-contained: from the motorway or aircraft, local or exotic particularities are presented two-dimensionally as a sort of theme-park spectacle. Auge does not suggest that supermodernity is all-encompassing: place still exist outside non-place and tend to reconstitute themselves inside it. But he argues powerfully that we are in transit through non-place for more and more of our time, as if between immense parentheses, and concludes that this new form of solitude should become the subject of an anthropology of its own

评分看了几篇书评都是捧得，发现这篇居然用有点刻薄的语调进行了近乎全盘的否定。 他认为奥吉的书只是说现代城市没有提供生活的场所，但是没有对比，只有（没解释过的）悖论，也没有给自己的理论留讨论验证的空间和证明的线索以及改变的可能。 因为奥吉说到场所的三个特点是relati...

here/elsewhere, now/history, space/place, place/non-place...前面概念太多太散，最后一章有些蓬勃泄出的感觉。
评分自己正身处于一个试图achieve and even reach beyond supermodernity的群体里,我和Pitchard都很困惑他们是怎么做出的这个决定.
评分bibi-bibi-bibi-bibi
评分Marc Auge 对于空间的研究还是很精悍的。
