Heterotopia And 1111 2 Heterotopia and the City 3 4 5111 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3111 Heterotopia, literally meaning ‘other places’, is a rich concept in urban design 4 that describes a world off-center with respect to normal or everyday spaces, 5 one that possesses multiple, fragmented, or even incompatible meanings. The 6 term has had an impact on architectural and urban theory since it was coined 7 by Foucault in the late 1960s but has remained a source of confusion and 8 debate since. Heterotopia and the City seeks to clarify this concept and investi- 9 gates the heterotopias which exist throughout our contemporary world: in 20111 museums, theme parks, malls, holiday resorts, gated communities, wellness 1 hotels, and festival markets. 2 The book combines theoretical contributions on the concept of heterotopia, 3 including a new translation of Foucault’s influential 1967 text, Of Other Spaces, 4 with a series of critical case studies that probe a range of (post-) urban 5 transformations, from the ‘malling’ of the agora, through the ‘gating’ of dwelling, 6 to the ‘theming’ of urban renewal. Wastelands and terrains vagues are explored as sites of promise and resistance in a section on urban activism and trans- 7 gression. The reader gets a glimpse of the extremes of our dualized, postcivil 8 condition through case studies on Jakarta, Dubai, and Kinshasa. 9 Heterotopia and the City provides a collective effort to reposition heterotopia 30111 as a crucial concept for contemporary urban theory and redirects the current 1 debate on the privatization of public space. The book will be of interest to all 2 those wishing to understand the city in the emerging postcivil society. Planners, 3 architects, cultural theorists, urbanists, and academics will find this a valuable 4 contribution to current critical argument. 5 6 Michiel Dehaene is Lecturer in Urbanism at the Eindhoven University 7 of Technology and a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven. His work 8 focuses on the epistemology of urbanism, dispersed urbanization, and the 9 interrelation between formal and informal modes of development. 40111 1 Lieven De Cauter studied Philosophy and History of Art.

By Taiwan issue, I mean the de facto, non de jure, independence of the state in Taiwan. More precisely, one can consider that not only politicians but also academics are constantly confronted with a kind of Gordian knot intermingling de facto independence, Chinese irredentism, third countries’ Realpolitik, Taiwan’s democratization, and last but not least the resuming of cross-straits relations and the relocation tide of the island’s industry on the mainland.

This book, in which Foucault explores the conditions of possibility of systems of knowledge, ‘arose out of a passage of Borges’, as Foucault states in the preface (xvi). Why did The Order of Things arise out of a passage of Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine writer? This passage, which Foucault quotes in its entirety, is from Borges’ text “The Analytical Language of John Wilkins”, in which Borges cites ‘a certain Chinese encyclopedia’ in which is written that: Animals are divided into (a) those that belong to the emperor; (b) embalmed ones; (c) those that are trained; (d) suckling pigs; (e) mermaids; (f) fabulous ones; (g) stray dogs; (h) those that are included in this classification; (i) those that tremble as if they were mad; (j) innumerable ones; (k) those drawn with a very fine camel’s-hair brush; (l) etcetera; (m) those that have just broken the flower vase; (n) those that at a distance resemble flies.

  • The Smart City As a Heterotopia
    Wang, D. (2017): Cities of Otherness: the smart city as a heterotopia. In: Proceedings of 15th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work - Exploratory Papers, Reports of the European Society for Socially Embedded Technologies (ISSN 2510-2591), DOI: 10.18420/ecscw2017-11 Cities of Otherness: the smart city as a heterotopia Ding Wang HighWire Centre for Doctoral Training, Lancaster University [email protected] Abstract. This paper provides an exploratory dimension to the current smart city discussion by regarding the smart city as a heterotopia space – a space of otherness. By adopting a Foucauldian approach, this paper briefly describes the ‘discursive formation’ of the smart city by analysing its ‘surfaces of emergence’, ‘authorities of delimitation’, and ‘grids of specification’, in order to capture the smart city discourse trajectory. It then focuses on analysing the smart city as a heterotopia space by applying Foucault’s six principles of heterotopias to the data gathered through twenty-seven ethnographic interviews with the smart city experts. In so doing, the paper intends to explore the possible implications for design – and ‘design’ in its widest sense – in the smart city context. Introduction The expression ‘smart city’ has recently become a leitmotiv in the vision of future city and urban development. However, the current smart cities concept can appear decidedly ambiguous, since it seemingly leaves its definition up to considerable interpretation. This paper does not intend to provide any simple definition of what a smart city is, as it is unlikely to be a simple, or even single, authoritative and uncontested, definition. In Law’s (2004) words: “Simple clear descriptions don’t work if what they are describing is not itself very coherent.

  • Heterotopia and Cultural Activism – Journal of the Geographical Society the Case of Hamburg’S Gängeviertel of Berlin
    Vol. 146, No. 2-3 · Research article DIE ERDE Heterotopia and cultural activism – Journal of the Geographical Society the case of Hamburg’s Gängeviertel of Berlin Michael Helten1 1Working Group Urban and Population Geography, Department of Geography, Kiel University, Ludewig-Meyn-Straße 14, 24098 Kiel, Germany, [email protected] Manuscript submitted: 3 June 2014 / Accepted for publication: 2 April 2015 / Published online: 30 September 2015 Abstract This paper investigates the Gängeviertel movement in Hamburg and the place which the activists have (re)constructed since its occupation in 2009 through the lens of Foucault’s (1986) concept of heterotopia. In the light of the recent de- bate about the role of cultural activism in the contemporary struggle about urban development, it explores the ques- tion which spatial practices and structures have evolved as oppositional to or in alignment with the neoliberal status quo of Hamburg’s spatial policy. Based on a qualitative case-study approach, the research was carried out in 2013. By using the analytical categories built environment, social practice and neoliberal normalisation, it illustrates that the Gängeviertel is characterised by practices that position it simultaneously both in- and outside of the neoliberal logic. Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit den Aktivisten im Hamburger Gängeviertel und deren seit 2009 besetz- ten Räume und untersucht diese mit Hilfe des Konzeptes der Heterotopien von Foucault (1986). Im Zuge der Debatte um die Rolle von kulturellem Aktivismus in aktuellen, städtischen Widerständen wird die Frage gestellt, welche widerständigen oder angepassten räumlichen Praktiken und Strukturen sich im Bezug auf den neoli- beralen Status quo der Hamburger Stadtentwicklungspolitik entwickelt haben.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Copenhagen Business School: CBS Open Journals Robert J. Topinka 2010 ISSN: 1832-5203 Foucault Studies, No. 9, pp. 54-70, September 2010 ARTICLE Foucault, Borges, Heterotopia: Producing Knowledge in Other Spaces Robert J. Topinka, University of Kansas ABSTRACT: Arguably the most famous heterotopia that appears in Foucault’s work is the Chinese encyclopedia, which originates in the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges. Drawing on this citation of Borges, this article examines Foucault’s notion of the heterotopia as it relates to order and knowledge production. Frequently, heterotopias are understood as sites of resi- stance. This article argues that shifting the focus from resistance to order and knowledge production reveals how heterotopias make the spatiality of order legible. By juxtaposing and combining many spaces in one site, heterotopias problematize received knowledge by desta- bilizing the ground on which knowledge is built. Yet heterotopias always remain connected to the dominant order; thus as heterotopias clash with dominant orders, they simultaneously produce new ways of knowing. This article first explores the tensions between Foucault’s two definitions of heterotopias before connecting these definitions to Foucault’s distinctly spatial understanding of knowledge as emerging from a clash of forces. Finally, the paper ends by returning to the relationship between Foucault, Borges, and heterotopias. Keywords: Foucault, Borges, heterotopia, order,

Raphael and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Newark, New Jersey MAY, 2015 2015 Samantha Johnston Boardman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Small Town Americas: Representing The Nation In The Miniature Tourist Attraction, 1953-2014 By SAMANTHA J. BOARDMAN Dissertation Director: Timothy F. Raphael Nationally themed miniature tourist attractions are popular destinations in many areas of the world, however there is currently no site in the U.S. exactly analogous to such locations as Madurodam, Mini Israel, or Italia in Miniatura. What the U.S. does have, however, is a history of numerous “American”-themed attractions employing scale models and miniature landscapes that similarly purport to represent an overview of the nation. Developments in travel infrastructure and communications technology, the decentralization of national tourism objectives and strategies, the evolution of tourism and tourist attractions in the nation and changing American cultural mores can all be seen in the miniature American landscapes investigated in this project. Significantly, while research has been conducted on the Miniaturk and Taman Mini Java parks and the ways in which they are constructed by/construct a particular view of national identity in Turkey and Indonesia respectively, no such study has looked at the meaning(s) contained in and conveyed by their American counterparts.
