Synopsis "The Future (Verso Futures) (in English)"

For Marc Augé, 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, Augé finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.

Reconocido antropólogo francés, acuñó el término "no-lugar" para referirse a los lugares de transitoriedad, espacios intercambiables donde el ser humano es anónimo, como los medios de transporte, las grandes cadenas hoteleras, los supermercados, e incluso los campos de refugiados.

Es director de estudios en la École des hautes études en sciences sociales, de la que fue presidente desde 1985 hasta 1995. También ha sido responsable y director de diferentes investigaciones en el Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).
