ABSTRACT

Heterotopias, Michel Foucault writes, are

real places—places that do exist and that are formed in the very founding of society—which are something like counter-sites ⋯ in which the real sites, all the other real sites that can be found within the culture, are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted. Places of this kind are outside of all places, even though it may be possible to indicate their location in reality. 1
