El viaje : una crítica al concepto de "no lugares"

One of the motivations that led me to initiating this research was to understand the concept of "non- places" in Marc Augé, then to confirm it against empirical clear information and to come to a proper conclusion on the topic. For that it is necessary to use two analytical, distinctive but similar, elements, these are migration and its opposite tourism. Throughout of diverse indicators gathered by means of Argentinians' testimonies that have had to emigrate abroad, as information of claims and tourists' lawsuits as well as for some regulations and procedures in tourism. Afterwards analysing these, I have confirmed that the thesis of non-places is false, empty and ambiguous. Nevertheless, it is used in the most distinguished academic areas, in journalistic literature, in architecture and even in some social anthropology works.
