Reflection / Summary on : Heterotopias by Michel Foucault
Heterotopias = the "un" or "inbetween" spaces.
............... = the nowhere space with a fixed location
"places that do exist and that are formed in the very founding of society"
significance, purpose to reality
but worlds within themselves:
both open for access,
but inherently isolated:
libraries
boats
cemeteries
gardens
prisons
psychiatric hospitals
brothels
vacation villages
fairgrounds
casinos?
-----> juxtapose reality
-----> step away from self
-----> all the world and of the world
"heterotopia begins to function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional time"
