Foucault and Lefebvre

Hello,

Here is the link to the Foucault article I mentioned in which he presents his concept of 'heterotopias'. Heterotopias are sites in which space and time have an alternative ordering to the dominant spatial and temporal orderings of a society. Could possibly be usefully applied to understanding non-capitalist spaces.

And an introduction to Henri Lefebvre's The Production of Space (1974). For those not familiar with his work, Lefebvre is a French Marxist theorist of space who argued that capitalism reproduces itself through the production of an 'abstract space' which is fragmented and hierarchical and dominates over 'lived space'

Maybe these could be our two readings one week?
