Marc Augé

Marc Augé ( 1935)  is French anthropologist who mainly works in the area of ethnology.
His work get's closer to the concept of "over-modernity" made up of reflections about individual the individual identity of people related to the quotidian places and the presence of technology  in our lifes.
He has been professor of ethnology and anthropology at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) of París and then director of the same institution , also has been director of many investigation programs at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS).

I like his work because he talks about the "non-places" that are the transitional places where we make part of our lives without staying. i think the concept is an amazing way to get close to an era made up of "non-relations"; Also , is actually this book, called "The Non-Places" one of the reason why i'm in this career today. I read it the past year in one of those critical phases of "what am i going to do with my life?"; my Language professor gave it to me and told me "hey, read this! i made my thesis about this book" and i was truly amazed about Augé's work. I realized that that was what i wanted to study because i was interested about  the  ways how people live in the today's world and the culture going around.
He has many other  books  and articles but i haven't finished reading them yet , i'd love to.

Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be

I think Reading is one of my favourites things to do and i  read a lot because it makes me happy.   It's amazing how you can imagine all the stories, all the universes, all the moments , all the characters... like if you were there , with them. You can escape from the world, into infinities stories that're way more interesting than yours...Is like taking a journey, an infinite journey.        I always liked to read. When i was a child my mom used to read a lot with me,  books were always important in my house so i grew up with books and conversations about them around me. I think that's why i like to read...books are part of me since i was a little girl.                   To be honest i don't really know how many book I've read in my life, if i tell a number i'd be lying ; i just can say that some of them changed my life and the way i see the world.                                                              I love to read a lot of stuff but i prefer fiction.I love to imagine things that could never happen in the real world, i love to escape from reality.              Fantasy , Science Fiction, Horror, Mistery, and that kind of literature is my favourite... but i also like Poetry, and that's in the top of the things i like to read.                     QOUTH THE RAVEN.. NEVER MORE.                                                            My favourite author is Edgar ALLan Poe,I think he's sublime.I love how the words in his books can make you feel you are right there, in that time, having those feeling, living the story through your skin. IS Wonderful.. and i can't choose a book, just "one book" so i'll say my favourite book is the collection of short tales by Edgar Allan Poe translated by Julio Cortázar - i have a picture of one of the books, they're 2, with a drawing i made of the reaven , so i'll add it here),my favourites tale are "Eleonora" and "The Reaven" but believe, i can't choose a favourite even when there're some that i like more than others. 

Anyways... my favourite character isn't created by Poe, is actually from a book called "El túnel" by Ernesto Sábato. There's something in his mind.. something i cant relate to myself in some way ... he has the mistery.. the essence of those rany days at midnight, with art in the skin and the  mess in the thoughts;i don't know, i like the mess and  messy and dark atmospheres. 

The last book i read is in a way very different from the books i usually  read, (i'm not counting the poetry books because as the last books i read because i read the poems one by one , not like books) so.. the last book i read is a best seller - i don't.. like best sellers but this one is cool hahha- is called "The fault in our starts" by John Green. It's Sad. I Hate John. He KILLED THE GUY WITHOUT MERCY . I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR THAT.NO. I'M NOT RECOVERED OF HIS DEAD YET. ( i won't lie, i cried a lot with this book,no regrets)IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS OF TOTAL SUFFERING TO READ IT.                                             

If you want a teen love story.. but a super sad story without a happy ending at all i recommend you this book... i think is a bit "girly" but is okay, we all need hose guilty pleasures sometimes.(they're making the movie...)                                                                                                                                                                                    PS: I THINK I HAVE A FAVOURITE BOOK . IS THE ONE OF THE ONES. THE MAIN ONE.

                                                                                                                        Is a master piece...
