“a “heterotopia,” or a space that exists beyond the reach of normal human systems and social mores. Foucault saw heterotopias everywhere: graveyards, hospitals, boats. In heterotopias, certain inviolable binaries “that our institutions and practices have not yet dared to break down” collide and reveal something. In that space of breakdown between, say, “private space and public space, between family space and social space, between cultural space and useful space, between the space of leisure and that of work,” he argues, we can look and find “the hidden presence of the sacred.”
