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Marc Auge写作这个文本主要是为了建立一种关于当代空间实践的人类学。人类学长期是研究“the others”的，往往是原始部落与海岛居民这类被建构，想象出来的相对遗世独立的人群。Auge将人类学的方法与对象带到了当代的日常世界。他认为如果前现代的历史与场所（区域的，城市的，...
用户评价
像是听了一首后摇，前半理论铺垫所蓄积的力量在第三章对Non-Places的解读中尽数被释放，讨论孤独/non-place中的时间状态/文字对空间的侵略与塑造以及引到的几处贡布雷宇宙观尤为精彩。非常强调supermodernity并非对一切的碎片化，而是一个复杂化的过程。
评分Marc Auge : The twenty-first century will be anthropology. Deleuze:No,it’s mine！

评分今儿的唯一成果——就是看了本全不相干的……
评分你喜欢海明威或者福克纳的小说么，诚然那也是一种空间人类学，人类学的写作手法很多变，我感觉这书会火是必然的。
