Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the non-places – areas occurring in the real and virtual worlds. In the case of non-places itself the significance of the place disappears in the motion of travelers. Nowadays, the migration of people, objects and information has reached historical akme. It is related to the change of the paradigm. As long as the twentieth century manifested itself – in philosophy, literaturę, art – reflection on the question of time, the twenty-first century develops the idea of the space. The space in the postmodern sense, therefore liquidity, nomadity and rhisomadity.
