heterotopiasHello,

see also Foucault's article "Of Other Spaces" for a detailed discussion of heterotopia.

  Dear friends

  In "The order of things", M. Foucault  introduced the concept of  heterotopias ( Preface p. xviii). In his own words, "heterotopias (such as those found so often in Borges) dessicate speech, stop words in their tracks, contest the very possibility of grammar at its source; they dissolve our myths and sterilize the lyricism of our sentences".


  This concept has been used in art criticism and architecture.

  Might anyone add any comment to that definition or relate this concept to D & G concepts?

  Thank you

  Mario H. Gradowczyk
