Recenzii
A fascinating compilation of provocative essays. Foucault's concept of 'heterotopia' is the departure point for many of the authors in this collection - allowing them to 'think differently' about a diverse range of issues. They are to be complimented on a sophisticated reading of heterotopia which avoids the all-too-frequent interpretation of this in terms of absolute, physical space. This allows the authors to develop and extend Foucault's thinking and that of a range of other 'post-conventional thinkers', to develop novel critiques of the present and of contemporary politics. Readers interested in resistance politics, in theorising vulnerability and in the development of a minoritarian-ethics will find this book thought-provoking.
When the freedom even to imagine new forms of life and political organisation is denied by the assertion that there is no alternative, the notion of heterotopias takes on particular importance. The papers in this valuable collection draw on the work of Michel Foucault and Edward Soja to elaborate the critical and disruptive force of spatial thinking. Transdisciplinary and political, the writing in this outstanding volume is a powerful demonstration of this force in action.
Spaces of Crisis and Critique takes Foucault's all too brief account of heterotopias as an invitation to investigate the hidden and the overt spaces where a politics of resistance is still possible. In foregrounding the aesthetic, as an opening on to the political and philosophical, the collection poses critical questions to those who think of politics as a science. It puts in to question inert disciplines which act as boundary keepers to critical knowledge, and it foregrounds the centrality and complexity of spatiality to any thinking of the political. From Faramelli's account of Zapatista resistance to Colebrook's illuminating account of the spatial metaphors of light and dark in the American political imaginary this superb book reanimates Foucault studies. More importantly it fosters critical thinking in the spaces where neoliberalism has not yet forced things to be held to account. This collection should find its way on to the shelves of those committed to the aesthetic remaking of our political imaginaries.
