The interest on ‘place’ and ‘space' in recent social theories is connected with rapid socio-cultural changes after the mid-20th century: such as urbanization, the spread of global capitalism, and the prevalence of electronic media. Especially, these changes brought about the dissolution of village communities, the privatazation of public space, the change of life style according to electronic media,and at last it was regarded that they caused ‘the loss of meaningful places'. Many scholars who gave attention to these changes put forward new theories that emphasized the change or loss of ‘the traditional places'. In this paper, I review the theory on spots which are not regarded as the ‘traditional’ places. For this purpose, I focus on an anthropologist Marc Augé's discussion about ‘non-place', and explore its meaning and preceding researches that apply his theory. According to Augé, a non-place is a space which cannot be defined as relational or historical or concerned with identity, and interactions in non-places are mediated by texts or images in contrast with ‘anthropological place.’ Through examination about this discussions,I propose that the appearance of non-places cause qualitatively different, new spatial logics, and plural spatial logics compete in these places. In particular, I pay attention to the relativity of non-places and explore its applicability in the contemporary Korean society.
