Summary:
Most people spend an increasing amount of time in soulless, impersonal places: motorways, airports, in front of cash machines, TVs and computers. For the author, this is symptomatic of the experience of "supermodernity" or late-capitalist existence. The invasion of modern life by these "non-places" is central to this work. The book explores the distinction between(...)

Summary:
Most people spend an increasing amount of time in soulless, impersonal places: motorways, airports, in front of cash machines, TVs and computers. For the author, this is symptomatic of the experience of "supermodernity" or late-capitalist existence. The invasion of modern life by these "non-places" is central to this work. The book explores the distinction between "place", encrusted with historical meaning and creative of social life, and "non-place", to which individuals are connected in a uniform, bureaucratic manner and where no organic social life is possible. Translated by John Howe.

Marc Augé, à qui l'on doit l'introduction des notions de non-lieux et de surmodernité, se confronte avec l'acuité qui lui est propre à des questions centrales relatives à l'humanité même de l'homme : le bonheur, la dignité, la confiance, l'augmentation préoccupante des inégalités. Ce volume, qui trouve dans le sens profond du partage de l'humanité générique habitant chacun d'entre nous son fil rouge, se présente comme une sorte de vadémécum pour le temps présent.

Summary:
In 'In Praise of the Bicycle', Augé takes us on a personal journey of his own, on a two-wheeled ride around our cities, and on a journey into ourselves. We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others. Part memoir, part manifesto, Augé celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.
