W stronę Maubert-Mutualité, czyli w poszukiwaniu straconego miejsca
Maubert-Mutualité’s way, or, in search of lost place

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses works of the French anthropologist Marc Augé in the context of his analyses of the Paris Métro and of Michel de Certeau’s work L'Invention du quotidien, with a parallel focus on the issue of place/non-place relations. On the one hand, this approach allows for showing space as one of the primary issues of research into our contemporary culture (with the notion of space encompassing problems such as mass tourism, transformations of culture of consumption or the functioning of today’s metropolises). On the other, the specificity of Marc Augé’s work (which sometimes crosses boundaries between science and literature) calls for a discussion about the form of contemporary cultural studies.
