For Marc Aug, best-selling author of Non-Places, 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, Aug finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marc Augé

Marc Augé, nascido em 1935, é dos mais conceituados etnólogos e antropólogos franceses. Foi presidente da École des hautes études en sciences sociales e participou em diversas missões em África e na América Latina, tendo então cunhado conceitos fundamentais da sua disciplina. O mais célebre, no entanto, o conceito de «não-lugar», aplica-se sobretudo ao mundo ocidentalizado contemporâneo, referindo-se a lugares uniformizados e transitórios, como os quartos de hotéis ou os aeroportos.
