Non-places: Introduction to an anthropology of supermodernity
Abstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
