Abstract

The text discusses the theory of Marc Augé’s non-places. In this article the author focuses on the relation between non-places and identity, and answers the question of to what extent it is possible to transform non-places to places – one of the Augé’s theses is that there are close relations between these two categories. According to the author, this change can be made thanks to the external media. The websites such as Facebook and YouTube, allow a symbolic transformation of a status of non-places, their rearrangement. In the study the author also proposes to expand Augé’s dictionary to include a category of analgetic places and non-places of affect.
