The concept of non-place is opposed, according to Augé, to the notion of "anthropological place". The place offers people a space that empowers their identity, where they can meet other people with whom they share social references. The non-places, on the contrary, are not meeting spaces and do not build common references to a group. Finally, a non-place is a place we do not live in, in which the individual remains anonymous and lonely. Augé avoids making value judgments on non-places and looks at them from the perspective of an ethnologist who has a new field of studies to explore. Over recent years, some critical voices have placed the notion of non-place under the critical lens of scrutiny. Basically, these studies focused on the one-sided nature of Auge´s argument while reminding that the notion of non-place is ethnocentrically designed to domesticate the "Otherness". Today, non-places such as bus stations are dwelled by pariah and displaced class persons who are relegated from the consuming-life.
