Sidewalk Study: LATE-CAPITALIST TIME in Midtown

  • Midtown Manhattan Manhattan, NY United States (map)

From our SEPTEMBER SIDEWALK STUDIES series: TIME

LATE-CAPITALIST TIME

Critic Marc Augé argues that we spend the majority of our time in "non-places" like supermarkets, airports, and hotels. These non-places are characterized by an excess of space and information, and by an absence of place-based history and generative sociality. We'll move through a "non-place" par excellence — Midtown Manhattan — and see what it takes to carve out the conditions for a shared human world.

Text: Non-Places: An Introduction to Supermodernity by Marc Augé (1992)
Date: Monday, Sep 30 (7pm) with Genevieve & Czarina
Place: Penn Station, Manhattan
