Augé’s depiction of the supermodern world contains two categories, anthropological places, which are places that contain and embody especially local history, memory and communal identity such as e.g. provincial town centres (Augé 1992/2008, 42-43, 53-54), and then non-places that are devoid of these social-semiotic values of authenticity such as airports. Their main function is transit. (Augé 1992/2008, 63). As it may appear, it is the reading or reception of the semiotic values of places that produce their meaning, and this article’s addition to Augé’s two categories is based on the reception of places. We propose to include intertextual places as a third category of places. By this category, we mean places that do not and cannot appear only as places in their own right, be it anthropological places or non-places, but in the reception of these places is added the fact that they have been locations in films and media.
