Abstract

In the wake of the death of prominent French anthropologist Marc Augé, a participant in his seminars presents his profile and scientific achievements. This unconventional researcher and writer, affiliated with the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, practiced independent anthropology to understand an era he considered unprecedented, characterized by an excess of space, the acceleration of time and the disappearance of otherness caused by globalization. The thematic scope of his work is very broad: power, witchcraft, rituals, the excesses of modernity, identity, oblivion, etc., as well as gardens, tourism, the bicycle or the Paris metro. In addition to scientific works related to field research and theoretical studies, Augé practiced essayism, which, starting from observational data, led to philosophical considerations. He believed that any ethnology leads to anthropology, which is inherently philosophical.
