Abstract

This paper resumes the notions of Places and Non Places proposed by Augé and, using the term Semiculture from Adorno, investigates about the possibility of reading its reflections on the current conformation of the cities and its production of certain “types” of spaces. The Semiplaces should be thow understood as those ones that tend to be Places or Non Places, but merging themselves create hybridisms, that result in new spatial forms, whose essences are related to attraction for consumption. The identity logic of Places has been replaced by a market logic, and the lack of identity of Non Places was filled by this same common element.
