Heterotopias
Last updated: Saturday, 7 December 2024
Real, actually-existing places, not utopias. Worlds within worlds that reflect and unsettle?
Ships, cemeteries, bars, prisons, gardens, museums, libraries, funfairs, lazarettos.
Incompatable and contradictory elements.
Systems of opening/closing that isolate them yet make them permeable?
Heterochronic? “Bottle episodes”?
Crisis heterotopias are sacred or forbidden places for people in a state of crisis. Heterotopias of deviation are for individuals who deviate from the norm.
- [?] Are heterotopias sites of resistance or containment?
- [?] How do heterotopias arrange and manage otherness, difference, and deviation in society?
