Mesi fa partecipai ad una conferenza di Marc Augé, etnologo e antropologo francese, directeur d’études all’Ecole des Hautes Etudes di Parigi. Partiamo dal presupposto che non ho mai letto nulla di quest’uomo, mai visto né conosciuto prima d’allora.. e allora, perché andare ad una sua conferenza, vi starete chiedendo?
La risposta è una sola: curiosità! e una buona dose di sadismo, ovviamente!
Mi incuriosiva questa concetto: NON-LUOGO. Come può un luogo non essere considered as such? In my mind began to emerge of the questions, first of all, the place owes its existence to what? Top
hypothetical responses: a place that is based on his being in space and time.
Another question: What 's that Augé calls non-places?
The first thing that struck me was his man to be alone in the crowd. He was there, the room was packed, the Faculty of Architecture, PhD in urban planning, students. He watched as if watching from the outside, as if everything that surrounded him did not touch him ..
take place, typically in Retrofile are those who prefer, after a brief Augé began his presentation speech. What is plain is an anthropologist, he has a tendency to bring everything from the particular concepts and much larger. Start talking about cities of center / periphery and here, in the midst of discussion, begins to emerge that the concept of no-place. It seems that he does not define these places of identity and no report so far nothing unusual, at least until the concept is repeatedly approached that of the suburbs.
As the representations that I have of these places are linked to nostalgic cliche, I could not understand how one could define without identity. In his words
was explicitly that 'image in the suburbs as non-city as a space of alienation, exclusion, deviance, places where you pass coming and going from the center .. until my attention falls to a single concept: "frustration", used as an adjective and associated Augé by the same young people who live in the suburbs, called "frustrated" because of their feeling excluded from the thing that is usually called CENTER . How long is it true his words honestly can not say, who knows maybe I fall into the category .. one thing then I would like, look up the definition in the dictionary:
agg: frustrated, disappointed, thwarted.
in psychoanalysis: a) a person who suffers from frustration; b) pulse, trendy impeded in its manifestation. Replace
: frustration, the mood of those who feel that all his work has been or would be in vain, in psychoanalysis, psychological situation that the subject feels a sense of limitation and obstacle to the free expression of his personality.
- Check again the notes of that day -
"there is no identity without alterity, no identity without report"
