Marc Augé (2 September 1935 – 24 July 2023) was a French anthropologist.

In an essay and book of the same title, ''Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity'' (1995), Augé coined the phrase "non-place" to refer to spaces where concerns of relations, history, and identity are erased. Examples of a non-place would be a motorway, a hotel room, an airport or a supermarket. Provided by Wikipedia
