For some they are marginal to the concerns of either discipline. For others, such as Kevin Hetherington, they are places where different orderings of social theories of society, space and modernity, and of social ordering itself, might be forged which, in time, could transform what is taken to be mainstream in both disciplines. What Hetherington himself seeks out in these lands is Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia, which he defines as ‘spaces of alternate ordering’. Through the chapters of this book the idea of heterotopia is explored and refined in relation to other elements of social and spatial theory, and exemplified and redescribed through three instances of ‘the space of modernity’: the Palais Royal in Paris, the eighteenth-century Masonic lodge and Britain’s early factories. It is a project which self-consciously seeks to offer new alternatives. Yet it ends up replaying some rather conventional and limited versions of geography and modernity, and the connections between them. Hetherington suggests that the term ’heterotopia’ can be used to describe a certain sort of space: a space that is ordered in a way different from those around it. As spaces characterized by alternate modes of spatial ordering, they then reveal new possibilities and can become the sites of social change. This comes in part from Foucault’s short discussion of heterotopia as places of Otherness and of unsettling juxtaposition. Hetherington then supplements this with Louis Marin’s notion of ‘utopics’ to define the alternate ordering as a promising although always deferred state, and Bruno Latour’s idea of ‘obligatory points of passage’ to suggest how some spaces become important places. He also defines heterotopia against other accounts of space within social theory: representational space, the margins, paradoxical space and liminality. These, he argues, are more problematic, often sharing a romance of the margins, resistance and transgression as the opposite to order, rather than identifying spaces which order in other ways. The task then becomes one of identifying heterotopic places: are they few or many? Hetherington refuses to accept the idea that every space might be heterotopic, each ordered in different ways from the others. However, the price of doing so is to suggest that heterotopias are relatively rare and can","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129568090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For both as a practice and a product architecture is performative in the sense that it involves ongoing social practices through which space is continually shaped and inhabited. I examine previous geographies of architecture from the Berkeley School to political semiotics, and argue that geographers have had relatively little to say about the practical and affective or ‘nonrepresentational’ import of architecture. I use the controversy over Vancouver’s new Public Library building as a springboard for considering how we might conceive of a more critical and politically progressive geography of architecture. The library’s Colosseum design recalls the origins of western civilization, and is seen by some Vancouverites to be an insensitive representation of a multicultural city of the Pacific. I seek to push geographers beyond this contemplative framing of architectural form towards a more active and embodied engagement with the lived building.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126348068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these suburbs, Noordhoek, Hout Bay and Milnerton, property owners voiced nearly identical objections to justify the exclusion of the squatters from ‘their’ neighbour-hoods. The main justifications, couched mostly in race-neutral terms, was that the squatters would increase crime, decrease property values, spread disease and despoil the natural environment. It is argued that while these discursive practices often camouflage racial prejudice, this does not explain the occurrence of similar discursive patterns in areas where race has not been a major factor. A satisfactory explanation for these discursive commonalities should thus embrace both class and racial dynamics and must be situated within the context of property relations within a capitalist land market.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124754499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper treats such guides as a form of imaginative mapping, associated with a ‘sporting’ male culture of sexually predatory men and an ideal city of male sexual opportunity. Such guidebooks offered to their readers a particular form of urban knowledge, primarily through the construction of the persona of the ‘man about town’, holding out the promise of ordering the confusing realities of the sprawling nineteenth-century metropolis. However, the guidebook genre necessarily admits something of the anxieties, ignorance and vulnerability of the would-be men about town who made up its readers, and this paper concludes that this literature should be considered as an elaborate ideological fantasy, constraining as well as constructing masculine identities, rather than simply evidence for the confident male appropriation of public space.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130146374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More generally, each heterotopia ‘stands in contrast to the taken-for-granted mundane idea of social order that exists within society’, or is seen ‘as juxtaposing another way of acting against that which prevails and dominates’. The difficulty here is not with the notion of heterotopia, but with the social and spatial homogeneity which this understanding of space forces onto non-heterotopic places, as ‘prevailing’ social orders become singular, identifiable and hegemonic. This social theory is unsatisfying both theoretically and empirically. The position is particularly problematic when it comes to discussing modernity, as Hetherington wants to do. He understands modernity through and against Zygmunt Bauman’s work, and thus as a mode of ordering which combines and opposes total freedom and total control. Here heterotopias are those spaces which produce a utopics of freedom and/or discipline, and become the points of passage through which social relations can be remade in modern form: the Palais Royal and the French Revolution, the Masonic lodge and the public sphere, and the factory and capitalist production. However, in setting these transformative spaces against the undefined background of the Ancien Régime Hetherington replays a commonplace history of modernity: a break from one state, a period of transformation, and the establishment of another state. Instead of letting the complexities of the historical geographies of modernity weave an alternative story of partial, fragmented and interlocking states and transformations, this sociology seems to be defined by the compulsions of a conventional temporal ordering of social change. This is also emphasized by what the examples have in common. It is not simply that, as Hetherington argues, all of them are associated with the new bourgeois class, although that may lead to emphasizing some stories and occluding others. It is more that they all share the same spatial scale: the architectural. Because of this they share a tale of the willed transformation of space towards utopic goals (although, admittedly, the Palais Royal is more a place of unintended consequences than either the Masonic lodge or the factory). It also means that there is no place for the landscapes, networks and frontiers that offer different geographies of modernity at other scales: regional, national and global. Instead of a heterogeneous panoply of modernities whose strands and surfaces interweave and crosscut through a variety of spatialities, we are only offered a few walled-off heterotopias which, in the way the examples are researched and presented, are not pursued in enough depth to reveal their detailed histories, ambiguities and connections. The badlands have a much more complex geography than this one.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131061615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
