Summary:
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(...)

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. Translated by John Howe.

This is a book about how we live in geographical space and how work and patterns of domicile affect our status and our inner being. Despite the apparent simplicity of the fictional premise, Augé’s book asks serious questions about the nature of our culture.

Summary:
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(...)

Summary:
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.

Summary:
En vingt ans, le métro s’est transformé au rythme de Paris et du monde. Qui sont au juste mes contemporains ou plutôt de qui puis-je me dire contemporain ? Pour répondre à cette question, j’invite mes lecteurs à me rejoindre dans le métro, à se perdre dans la foule anonyme de tous ceux que j’y côtoie quotidiennement. Peut-être nous y frôlerons nous sans le savoir.

Summary:
For Marc Augé the prevailing idea of “the Future” rests on our present fears of the contemporary world. It is to the future that we look for redemption and progress; but it is also where we project our personal and apocalyptic anxieties. By questioning notions of certainty, truth, and totality, Augé finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and(...)

Leurs formes actuelles, la multiplication des aires de misère, des camps, des sous-produits de l'urbanisation sauvage sous l'entrelacs brillant des autoroutes, des lieux de consommation, des tours, des quartiers d'affaires et des hauts lieux du tourisme, montrent assez la cynique franchise de l'histoire humaine. Ce sont bien nos sociétés que nous avons sous les yeux, sans masques, sans fard. Ce qui nous retient dans la vue des ruines, c'est leur aptitude à faire sentir le temps (le temps « pur ») sans résumer l'histoire ni l'achever dans l'illusion du savoir ou de la beauté, et à prendre ainsi la forme d'une oeuvre d'art. L'histoire à venir ne produira plus de ruines. Elle n'en a pas le temps. Sur les décombres nés des affrontements qu'elle ne manquera pas de susciter, des chantiers néanmoins s'ouvriront, et avec eux, qui sait, une chance de bâtir autre chose, de retrouver le sens du temps et, au-delà, peut-être, la conscience de l'histoire. Telle est l'intuition que Marc Augé tente ici de mettre ne forme au terme d'un parcours sinueux entre divers sites du monde, diverses oeuvres littéraires ou cinématographiques, et quelques souvenirs.

Aujourd'hui le mythe a pris un coup. Mais la bicyclette revient par la politique de la ville et son image est l'objet d'un regain d'enthousiasme.

We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others. Part memoir, part manifesto, Augé celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.
