IThe Badlands of Modernity offers a wide ranging and original
interpretation of modernity. Through an analysis of some of the
most important social spaces of the eighteenth century, this book
examines contemporary debates about modernity and postmodernity,
the character of social order and the significance of marginal
space in relation to issues of order, transgression and resistance.
Drawing on Foucault's analysis of heterotopia, or spaces of
alternate ordering, Kevin Hetherington argues that modernity
originates through an interplay between ideas of utopia and
heterotopia. Tha Palais Royal during the French Revolution, the
masonic lodge and the early factories of the industrial revolution
are all analyzed as heterotopia, in which modern social ordering is
developed. Rather than seeing modernity as being defined by social
order, the book argues that we need to take account of the
processes that produce social ordering, their ambiguity and the
spaces in which they emerge, if we are to understand the character
of modern societies.
