Augés non-places was the foundation on which a social anthropologist from Cambridge today built her research on transnational elites, or expats as they call themselves in Amsterdam. These guys would neutralise themselves from any nationality, or any cultural identity: they are international; their children go to international schools; they live in Amsterdam but dont have Dutch friends; they are nomads the turbo-capitalist way; constantly mobile; hunting the money. The presentation was interesting and the debate as well. Now this video elaborates on placelessness, what is is, and how it affects out lives. It quotes from Augen, in a rather sad way.
