单词 heterotopia
释义

heterotopian.

Brit. /ˌhɛt(ə)rə(ʊ)ˈtəʊpɪə/, U.S. /ˌhɛdəroʊˈtoʊpiə/, /ˌhɛdərəˈtoʊpiə/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: hetero- comb. form, utopia n.
Etymology: < hetero- comb. form + -topia (in utopia n., etc.), after French hétérotopie (M. Foucault, 1966 or earlier).
Originally Philosophy.
A place (or notional place) that exists as an ordinary part of a society but which is also in some way demarcated, separate, or marginal, meaning the norms of wider society (though present) can become blurred, undermined, resisted, or transformed by different modes of thought and behaviour arising within the place itself. The concept was first used by the French philosopher, Michel Foucault, in contrast to the idea of utopia as an ideal or unreal space, with examples including prisons, fairgrounds, theatres, and brothels. Later use in cultural theory and the social sciences has seen the idea interpreted expansively to include, e.g., whole cities, internet sites, and fictional worlds.

1970 tr. M. Foucault Order of Things Pref. p.xviii Heterotopias are disturbing, probably because they secretly undermine language, because they make it impossible to name this and that.
2001 Independent on Sunday 21 Jan. (Review Suppl.) 9/1 Such places were necessary to the harmony of societies: rites of passage or painful transitions were played out there, offstage... Heterotopias are not only necessary to us but strongly desired.
2012 Iowa Rev. 42 76 The heterotopia is capable of juxtaposing in a single real place several spaces..that are in themselves incompatible. Thus it is that the theater brings onto the rectangle of the stage, one after the other, a whole series of places that are foreign to one another.
