In Of Other Spaces Foucault coined the term "heterotopias" to
signify "all the other real sites that can be found within the
culture" which "are simultaneously represented, contested, and
inverted." For Foucault, heterotopic spaces were first of all
spaces of crisis, or transformative spaces, however these have
given way to heterotopias of deviation and spaces of discipline,
such as psychiatric hospitals or prisons. Foucault's essay provokes
us to think through how spaces of crisis and critique function to
open up disruptive, subversive or minoritarian fields within
philosophical, political, cultural or aesthetic discourses. This
book takes this interdisciplinary and international approach to the
spatial, challenging existing borders, boundaries, and horizons;
from Claire Colebrook's chapter unpacking the heterotopic spaces of
America and Mexico that lie beyond reductive ideological spaces of
light and darkness, to a Foucauldian reading of the Zapatista
resistance. With essays on politics, philosophy, literature,
post-colonial studies, and aesthetics from established and emerging
academics, this book answers Foucault's call to give us a better
understanding of our present cultural epoch.
