Research: Non-Places

Mark Auge (1995) Quotes:
'Not rational, historical or concerned with identity’ 
‘non-places whose definition is primarily economic’
Supermarkets, slot machines, cash machines, air/ rail/ motorway routes, airports, railway stations
HISTORY
‘No history other than the last forty-eight hours of news’
‘Frequentation of non-places today provides an experience - without real historical precedent'
ADVERTISING
 told what to look at, ‘secret beauties explicit’ some of the texts become obsolete - moving too fast - too much
 'strangely familiar' through advertising - ad loop
FARMILIARITY
‘in the world of super modernity people are always and never, at home'
IDENTITY CONTROL
When you give your identity - passport, credit card, ID
 ‘alone, but one of many’

* Really Interesting Rich Theory - Literally the opposite of Liminality !! So many points of comparison
*Thinking about space in this way is really unsettling - Could I communicate this in my work ??
**interested in how people experience space - could read articles, philosophies, go on my own adventures see if my experience corresponds? 
*What other academic theory is there on space?
