Document Summary
Structuralism does not entail a denial of time; it does involve a certain manner of deal with what we call time and history. The anxiety of our era has to do fundamentally with space, no doubt a great deal more than with time. Utopias are sites with no real place. Heterotopia is where you see yourself in the mirror. It makes this place that i occupy at the moment when i look at myself in the glass at once absolutely real and absolutely unreal. Heterotopias of crisis are dissapearing today and are being replaced by heterotopias of deviation: those in which individuals whose behavior is deviant in relation to the required mean or norm are placed. There are heterotopias of indefinitely acccumulating time, for example museums and libraries. There are heterotopias that are linked to the accumulation of time for ex fair grounds. Choay utopia and the philosophical status of constructed space.
