«Un ethnologue dans le métro» is the anthropology essay by Marc Augé, published by Hachette in paperback (125 pages, in French).
Augé applies the ethnologist's gaze to the familiar space of the metro: routes and stations contain conventions, rites and institutions. He thus reviews classic themes of anthropology, from Marcel Mauss's «total social fact» to symbolism, as an inaugural text of an «ethnology of the near» centred on the relationship with others.
The book was first published in 1986 and is part of the «Textes du XXe siècle» collection.
For readers interested in anthropology, urban sociology and philosophy, as well as for academic and university audiences.
