Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity is a groundbreaking concept proposed by French anthropologist Marc Augé in 1995. He argues that modern society has generated a multitude of anonymous and functional transitional spaces, such as airports, highways, and supermarkets, termed “non-places.” These spaces diminish social relationships and historical identity, epitomizing contemporary globalization, mobility, and a sense of solitude, thereby profoundly shaping our everyday experiences.
