There are places which create their own rituals and circumstances give them functions. The kindergarten seems to be such a place - "a different space". The object of my considerations, in which I applied the understanding of the specific kindergarten space as a “no-place in the place”, are the six principles defining Foucault's heterotopy. Considering each of them, I refer to preschool as an institution which, apart from implementing its basic goals focused on care and supporting child’s development, becomes a unique microcosm for every pupil.

Są miejsca, które tworzą własne rytuały, a okoliczności nadają im funkcje. Przedszkole wydaje się być takim miejscem - „inna przestrzenią”. Celem moich rozważań, podczas których ulokowałam rozumienie specyficznej przestrzeni przedszkola jako „nie-miejsca w miejscu”, uczyniłam sześć zasad definiujących heterotopię Foucaulta. Analizując każdą z nich odnoszę się do przedszkola jako instytucji, która poza realizacją swoich podstawowych celów, skoncentrowanych na opiece i wspomaganiu rozwoju dziecka, staje się unikalnym mikroświatem dla każdego wychowanka.

Based on a framework consisting of postmodern theories of heterotopias, spatial pastiche, schizophrenic temporality and postmodern speed, this paper seeks to identify cinematic features in the works of the American director David Lynch, which exemplify time and space in postmodernism. Michel Foucault's theory of space will trigger the whole problematic of the time-space relation. This is followed by a discussion of Fredric Jameson's concepts of spatial pastiche and schizophrenic temporality and of the involute interaction between the two

How does the contemporary self depicted in Paul Auster’s fiction constitute himself in the metropolis New York City? I will investigate the extent to which New York City influences the shaping of a metropolitan identity in two selected literary works by Paul Auster: City of Glass and Sunset Park

The aim of this paper is to discuss the generic direction into which the cozy mystery has been developing. Professionals and amateurs of different domains have started to adopt the medium of the traditional detective novel to propagate their expertise. Consequently, in addition to the criminal clue puzzle these ‘hybrid’ crime novels provide useful knowledge or even guidance.Psychotherapists and psychiatrists are among people professionally involved in the wide spectrum of problems haunting addicts and their codependent families. Although there are more and more self-help books on various addictions available on the market, their readership is limited to the unlucky ones who, in one way or another, have been drawn into the “Maelstrom”of alcoholism. Very few non-addicts can comprehend the closed world of alcoholics with all its peculiarities and irregularities. Elizabeth Zelvin, an experienced counsellor, has managed to present the heterotopia of alcoholics to a wider audience. Her cozy mystery Death Will Get You Sober intertwines the criminal investigation with the mundane lives of alcoholics struggling to adjust to the rules and regulations enforced in the detox institutions.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie jednego z kierunków rozwoju tradycyjnej powieści detektywistycznej. Zarówno amatorzy, jak i specjaliści z zakresu różnych dziedzin starają się zaadaptować formułę klasycznego kryminału dla propagowania swojej wiedzy. Rezultatem takich poczynań są powieści, które oprócz wciągnięcia czytelnika w fascynujący proces rozwiązywania zagadki kryminalnej, prezentują zagadnienia związane z pracą bądź zainteresowaniami autora.Półki księgarskie pełne są poradników przedstawiających metody pokonywania różnorakich problemów trapiących współczesne społeczeństwo, jednakże trafiają one do wąskiego grona odbiorców zainteresowanych konkretnym zagadnieniem. Doceniając ogromną popularność kryminałów, Elizabeth Zelvin, znana i ceniona specjalistka w dziedzinie terapii uzależnień, postanawia użyć formuły klasycznej powieści detektywistycznej w celu przybliżenia szerszemu gronu czytelników zasad pracy z osobami cierpiącymi na chorobę alkoholową. Szczegółowa prezentacja heterotopii (‘innych przestrzeni’), do których wstęp mają jedynie chorzy, współuzależnieni i terapeuci, zgrabnie wpleciona w intrygę kryminalną, czyni Death Will Get You Sober spektakularnym przykładem hybrydyzacji konwencji tradycyjnego kryminału.

The essay titled “The Image of Man in Metafictional Novels by John Banville: Celebrating the Power of the Imagination” analyzes how John Banville reconstructs the image of man in his two novels Kepler and Doctor Copernicus by means of broadly understood metafiction. The Author of the essay discusses the following elements: implied author’s and narrator’s power of creative imagination and Rheticus’s self-consciousness which enables to create fiction and intertextuality of the novel. When analyzing the last aspect of the novels, the Author mentions also Michel Foucault’s term, heterotopia. The results of this analysis are twofold. On the one hand, man has got practically unlimited creative imagination on their part. On the other hand, man seems to be lost in the world of unclear ontological boundaries, which proves a paradoxical image of man.

Artykuł, zatytułowany „Obraz człowieka w powieściach metafikcyjnych Johna Banville’a: pochwała siły wyobraźni” analizuje sposób w jaki John Banville, poprzez elementy charakterystyczne dla szeroko rozumianej metafikcji, stara się zrekonstruować obraz człowieka w powieściach: Kepler i Doctor Copernicus. Autor eseju kolejno omawia: siłę kreatywnej wyobraźni domniemanego autora i narratora oraz samoświadomość jednej z postaci, Rheticusa, w tworzeniu fikcji oraz intertekstualność powieści. Przy okazji analizy ostatniego aspektu utworów, wspomniany zostaje również termin Michela Foucault, heterotopia. Wnioski o człowieku, do jakich prowadzi ta analiza, pokazują, że z jednej strony dysponuje on praktycznie nieograniczoną wyobraźnią twórczą. Z drugiej zaś, człowiek jest zagubiony w świecie niewyraźnych granic ontologicznych, co udowadnia dość paradoksalną wizję człowieka.

This article sets out to analyse the social (re)production of an object inhabited by homeless people that is located on the periphery of a mid-sized Czech city. Drawing on Edward Soja’s model of the trialectics of spatiality and Petr Vašát’s empirically based concept of heterotopia, the author describes three spheres (or space-types) of the object: (1) a historical and physical description of the object; (2) the dominant actors’ representations of the object (including politicians, municipal police, public authorities, and the local media); and (3) the object as a heterotopic ‘Hilton’ (the emic name of the object). He focuses mainly on the differences or junctions of these spheres/spaces. The empirical basis of this study is formed by data from ethnographic participant observation of the homeless, interviews, and various texts (e.g. media messages, public notices), which are processed in MAXQDA. There are some areas of contradiction between the three spaces: the negative descriptions by the dominant actors versus the social practices (e.g. pooling, borrowing) and strong social relationships in the Hilton, the seemingly irrational patterns of exploitation of the Hilton, the contrast between the filth outside the building and the clean state of the rooms, i.e. between chaos and order, the disparate views taken of dogs that live in the Hilton too, and ecological and hygienic problems, and so on. The negative view taken by local residents generates a fear of the homeless, which partly legitimises the ritual police inspects of the Hilton, and puts the public in the paradoxical position of both wanting to solve the problem, but rejecting the available tools to do so.

This article is based on long-term study of the relationship between time and space. It does not conceive space as a dimensionless, empty, and homogeneous container but draws instead on the concept of place as unique and meaningful. The conceptualisation of place is thus based on the classic works of the humanist geographers Yi-Fu Tuan and Edward Relph, who consider place to be integral, enclosed, and determinable. The issue of the determinability of integral and still meaningful place is examined using Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia. A certain place in a city is linked to a number of other places, which in a way then become present in that place. The place cannot be considered a homotopia but, on the contrary, is a heterotopia. Place can also be conceived from a temporal point of view. Various times (rhythms) blend in a place and they refer to processes that were taking place in other (even temporally very remote) times. Similarly, just as place can be spatially considered a heterotopia, temporally it may be considered a heterochronia. The term heterochronotopia is used to refer to a place that opens out both spatially to other places and temporally to other times. Empirically the article focuses on one selected place in the post-socialist and post-industrial city of Brno (Czech Republic). The article seeks to (1) identify links connecting the researched place to other sites and times and to (2) describe the selected place as a system of associations. The research combines a very wide range of methods such as direct observation, informal interviews, and analyses of historical documents, photos, public transport timetables, etc. The article thus offers an example of a dense description of a place as a temporally or spatially undeterminable entity, provides material for critical reflection on the assumption that urban place is enclosed and determinable, and introduces ‘heterochronotopia’ as a new concept referring to a spatially and temporally undetermined place in a contemporary city.

On the basis of two novels by Philip Roth, American Pastoral (1997) and The Plot Against America (2004), the author follows the way the neighborhood of the narrators’ formation affects the shaping of their ethnic identity. Its residents have few qualities determining Jewishness. The characters are not religious and their only language is English. Due to their memories of their childhood among the neighbors referring to themselves as Jews, they developed their own Jewish identity.

The article discusses picturebooks illustrated by a Norwe­gian artist, Svein Nyhus, to show his specific symbolic manner of depicting the child’s environment. It is argued that the illustrator employs characteristic recurrent elements of home representations and elaborates an interesting interplay of outer and inner spaces, consistently focusing the child’s perspective. This is demonstrated by an analysis of four picturebooks by the Norwegian artist: Pappa! (1998, Daddy!), Snill (2002, Nice), Sinna mann (2003, Angry Man) and Håret till mamma (2007, Mum’s Hair). The books have been regarded as ambitious literature for children, addressing difficult issues or even sometimes breaking a taboo. To show Nyhus’ visual method of thematising childhood’s traumas in relation to a home space is also one of the aims of the paper. The analysis of visual content is carried out with references to the textual narratives, drawing on ideas about heterotopia by Michel Foucault (1984), self-effacement by Karen Horney (1997) and the poetics of space by Gaston Bachelard (1969).

This article argues for an analogy between the early talkies and the video telephony software-based theatre productions that have proliferated since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic: both the crude sound equipment employed for the late 1920s films and the static streaming and recording devices used to make online theatre/theatre online productions require the performer's close proximity to the microphone. The latter kind of artwork's 'user interface stage' is the site of a paradox, simultaneously fragmenting the spacetime of a written scene and reconstituting the fragments in alternately theatrical and cinematic fashions. I use Mint Theatre's The Gin Chronicles in New York (2020) as a source of examples of this innate contradiction's potential to transcend the notion of medium specificity (and its 'betrayal') that surrounded the emergence of the talkie and to help forge a new model for the Foucauldian heterotopia.

Górecka Ewa, Inne miejsca – filmowe obrazy antykwariatu jako heterotopie [Other Places: Cinematic Images of Antiquarian Bookshops as Heterotopias]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 197–211. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.10. An antiquarian bookshop is a compelling site in the space of culture. Its history and its dense network of associations with an array of other cultural phenomena (e.g. fetishism, collecting, the rise and roles of libraries and museums, to name but a few) have long captivated creative practitioners – writers, painters and film-makers. 84 Charing Cross Road by D.H. Jones, The Ninth Gate by R. Polański and Antykwariat (The Second-Hand Bookstore) by M. Cuske are films in which antiquarian bookshops are appointed similarly central roles, but which at the same time differ from each other generically, each of them being a generic hybrid. In their cinematic renderings, the antiquarian bookshops appear as heterotopias in the sense proposed by Michel Foucault. The representations of the antiquarian bookshop revolve around its otherness vis-à-vis their surroundings, and frame it as unique, functionally variable within culture (a trading venue vs. a meeting point; a trading venue vs. a microcosm) and time-accumulating (heterochrony). Though generically disparate, the cinematic images of the antiquarian bookshop are all intimately embedded in Western culture.

The aim of this paper is to analyse non-places and heterotopias in the films “Cześć Tereska!” (Poland, 2001, Robert Gliński) and “Lilja 4-ever” (Sweden, 2002, Lukas Moodysson). Drawing on the theories of French anthropologist Marc Augé and philosopher Michel Foucault, the author demonstrates that the lives of the protagonists revolve around the ghetto-like housing estates of apartment blocks and non-places of hypermodernity. At the same time, despite the surrounding bleakness and fatalism, the heroines manage to find “havens” which perform the functions of heterotopia, in the sense proposed by Michel Foucault. The significance of both places is ambivalent, which is demonstrated in the discussion.

The article is a theoretical proposition for a new research category applied to descriptions of diseases within cultural texts. The author proposes a category tying together spatiality and disease, hence the concept of infirmary, which testifies to the complex relationships between space and the experience of illness, or more generally, medical experience, or between the place and the existence of a diseased person, the topography of medical experience. The word „infirmary” will at first glance evoke images of sickbay, i.e. the place for individuals suffering from a medical condition, where they are provided with treatment, and the locus of norm-transgression (that is to say, the norms of the sane society), as well as of stigmatization practices concerning the individual transgressors or deviants, and also of whatever actions are performed on those very individuals (for example, at the hands of doctors or medical personnel). In a nutshell, the concept will evoke all the forms of experience connected with health, disease, treatment practice (both in terms of those providing treatment and those being treated). The infirmary text will be a concept bringing together the narratives of a specific medical experience and the place/space, merging the discourse of disease (but also of health) with a spatial perspective. When speaking of infirmary text, we enter a very broad and multidimensional area situated between literature and medicine. An infirmary text is not limited to all spatial narratives concerning medical experiences, but also touches on extreme emotional experience (the power of affect), the diseases of soma and psyche, the medical institutions and the professional and social roles within their premises, the histories of diseases (especially in the form of autobiographical narratives), affective constructs in which emotions carry the role of „playing the part” of the world and constituting identities.

This article is an attempt to present further results in the author’s continuing qualitative field work among the historical war re-enactment societies of the fortress towns of Josefstadt and Theresienstadt (from 2010). Michael Foucaults Heterotopic theory of places is used to shed light on a wide range of ritualised social behaviour, centred around key symbols from the monarchical military culture of the Enlightenment. New categories for the analysis of local context have been created which are clearly compatible with Braudel’s theory of longue-duree, that is isophenomenological historic-social objects, maintaining and transferring the original meaning of heterotopic social-disciplination.

Revisiting the complex dynamics of nature-culture relations should take into consideration the juxtapositions between multiple spaces, times and meanings that constitute the current anthropological understanding of the concept of ‘environment’. As digital technologies were progressively incorporated into the ways in which the influences of the environment are perceived and reimagined, a new type of places appeared: the ‘virtual heterotopias’. They typify contemporary conceptualizations of the environment by simultaneously connecting and differentiating multiple spaces and times. In my paper, I draw upon the theoretical groundwork developed by Michel Foucault (1967) regarding heterotopias. I focus on how nature-culture relations are mirrored, signified and reimagined in virtual worlds (i.e. MMOG worlds). I consider the virtual worlds to be multileveled heterotopias where the digital counterparts of real elements from the environment seem more ‘real’ and ‘compelling’ than the originals. The new ways in which ‘virtual heterotopias’ are built in order to represent multiple dimensions of the environment ultimately contribute to a redefinition of heterotopias’ epistemological and anthropological relevance.

  The paper discusses a series of five graffiti pieces made in 2005 on the Israeli-Palestinian separation barrier by the English street artist Banksy. Location is here key to the understanding of the messages. The departure point for my analyses is, on the one hand, the meaning connoted with the ‘wall,’ the aim of which is to separate two peoples in a conflict, and, on the other, the representations of landscapes, often with water, painted by Banksy in most of the works. To answer what symbolic role landscape plays in the conflict-ridden area, I look at some other art works, made by contemporary Israeli artists for whom place, landscape and the related question of identity and belonging seem to play a central role. Painted by Banksy on the Palestinian side, the utopian, Eden-like sights, which ‘make holes’ in the concrete barrier, undermine, in an ironic fashion, the hierarchical discourse of power relations constructed by the ‘opposite’ side, and give ‘water’ to the evicted.

Spatial heterotopy of modern space contributes to the emergence of new communicative patterns in the field of „own – other” contacts. But the persisting traditional ethnic stereotypes conflict with the changing socio-cultural realities. In this article the authors analyze the problem of preservation culture from Stranger. In this regard serious questions raise. These are: what do we keep – either the traditional culture with its internal code or the culture as a whole; what and from whom do we protect – either the traditional culture from globalization challenges, or „our own culture” from the Other; and, at last, how do we protect it – either carefully saving from innovations or actively breaking all traditional forms clearing away the road for innovative development? Anyway rhizome world view becomes the factor that significantly complicates adaptation of NeoStranger into the receiving societies. It demands theoretical comprehension of a new strategy of cross-cultural communication in modern transcultural space.

This paper analyses urban spaces of crisis in Isaac Rosa’s novels La mano invisible (2011), La habitación oscura (2013), and the graphic novel Aquí vivió. Historia de un desahucio (2016) by Cristina Bueno and Isaac Rosa. It explores the dystopian and realistic elements in Rosa’s fiction and proposes to read his works through the lens of Michel Foucault’s essay on other spaces. The article argues that the unusual, quasi-dystopian spaces are of a double nature, typical for heterotopias, and play a significant role in the manner in which Rosa depicts the consequences of the economic crisis in Spain at the beginning of the 21st century.

Artykuł traktuje o „habitusie daczy” w powieści Eleny Czyżowej Planeta grzybów. Jego nosicielami są bohaterowie, których osobowość ukształtowała się w określonym czasie pod wpływem kultury i działań związanych z sowiecką daczą.  „Habitus daczy” w utworze odnosi się do dwóch różnych okresów historycznych (sowieckiego i postsowieckiego) i jednocześnie do dwóch pokoleń. Jego warianty i modyfikacje służą Czyżowej do odzwierciedlenia najważniejszych problemów i przemian we współczesnej Rosji. Obraz sowieckiej daczy, będący metaforą życia w ZSRR, jest ponury i pesymistyczny, co nie jest typowe dla wspomnień z dzieciństwa i młodości. Z kolei postsowiecka dacza to zjawisko reprezentujące procesy gospodarcze i społeczne w okresie przejścia do kapitalizmu i odrzucenie spuścizny socjalizmu. Analiza powieści Planeta grzybów prowadzi do wniosku, że bohaterowie Czyżowej reprezentują różne formy przystosowania się do nowych warunków ekonomicznych i społecznych, ale przy życiu pozostaje tylko człowiek, który nie jest w stanie wydostać się z „sowieckości”.

В статье рассматривается «дачный габитус» в романе Елены Чижовой Планета грибов. Его носителями являются герои, личность которых сформировалась в определенное время под влиянием культуры и действий, связанных с советской дачей. «Дачный габитус» относится в произведении к двум разным историческим периодам: советскому и постсоветскому. Его изменения используются Чижовой для отражения важнейших проблем и трансформаций в современной России. Образ советской дачи, будучи метафорой жизни в СССР, мрачен и пессимистичен, что не свойственно воспоминаниям о детстве и юношестве. В свою очередь постсоветская дача – это явление, представляющее экономические и социальные процессы перехода к капитализму и отказ от наследия социализма. Анализ романа Планета грибов приводит к выводу, что герои Чижовой представляют разные способы приспособления к новым экономическим и социальным условиям. Автор дает свой прогноз на будущее, оставляя в живых героя, не способоного выйти из «советскости».

The article deals with the "habitus of dacha" in Elena Chizhova's novel The Mushroom Planet. Its bearers are characters whose personality was formed at a certain time under the influence of culture and actions associated with the Soviet dacha. "Habitus of dacha" in the work refers to two different historical periods: Soviet and post-Soviet. Its versions are used by Chizhova to reflect the most important problems and transformations in modern Russia. The image of the Soviet dacha, being a metaphor for life in the USSR, is gloomy and pessimistic, which is not typical of memories of childhood and youth. The post-Soviet dacha is a phenomenon that represents the economic and social processes of the transition to capitalism and the rejection of the legacy of socialism. An analysis of the novel The Mushroom Planet leads to the conclusion, that Chizhova's characters represent different ways of adapting to new economic and social conditions. The author gives her forecast for the future, leaving alive the character who is unable to get out of the "Sovietness".

The article uses photovoice to explore the everyday geography of homelessness and its affective dimension. We focus on two aspects of the everyday geography captured by photovoice: (1) movement in space and (2) the performativity of heterotopic places. The aim is to understand how the research partners as actors (re)present and (re)construct their everyday geography by visual means and how they relate to it affectively (or otherwise). Photovoice is a suitable method for this type of research as it has been used across the social sciences and especially in action research as a productive tool that allows people to document and reflect on their everyday life, their strengths, and their concerns, and to communicate all this effectively to the wider public. In this article, we critically discuss photovoice and argue that besides its action potential, it can also be used to generate rich visual research data. We present data collected from photovoice research on homeless people in Prague and Pilsen, two cities in the Czech Republic, and conduct formal analytical and hermeneutic analyses of the data. The photographs we obtained reveal the movement of our research partners – the homeless – in space and their relationship to different places and the people in them. In general, people were the most frequently photographed theme. The research revealed that social relations are the most important aspect in the creation and production of places in cities. Several factors, most importantly age, influence the extent to which social relations play this role.
