NEW SPATIAL LOCALITIES IN NOMADIC EXISTENCE: POSTMODERN CONTEXT

The article examines the special conditions for the formation of a nomadic lifestyle in the postmodern era. The contemporary socio-cultural space of cities is presented as an environment where specific localities that contribute to nomadization emerge - “non-place” and “hole”. The “non-place” is understood as a channel of continuous movement, devoid of historicity, and one that creates a dispersion of subjective identity. The “hole” is shown as a node of collision of multidirectional flows, which implies the primary slowing down of the nomad for the free immersion in the “non-place”. It is shown that the emergence of “non-places” is connected with the process of narrativizing places, constructing them with the help of signs, which ultimately leads to the fact that a place becomes absent for itself (“non-place”).
