The essays by the French anthropologist Marc Augé -written with a prose that is as intimate as it is rigorous- venture into diverse issues that involve daily life, the future of globalization, education and old age. Augé listens to the problems and looks at them with a restless, unprejudiced and argumentative magnifying glass. His reflections include political problems, literary aspects, metaphysical discussions, and the body as a setting for the passage of time. Both in Future (Adriana Hidalgo) and in What happened to trust in the future? (21st century) Augé understands that it is necessary to think about time in relation to education -this is the key to progress- and as a necessary anthropological dimension to combat the immobile and consumerist present that the globalization society imposes on us. In El tiempo sin edad (Adriana Hidalgo) he not only recovers and discusses the classic authors who have written about old age, but also proposes the risky hypothesis that old age does not exist.
