HETEROTOPIA — DISJUNCTURE II
Get PDFArtist and curator Paul Jones continues the exploration of liminal spaces, separate from but parallel with reality.
The first iteration of HETEROTOPIA — DISJUNCTURE took place in 2022 at 19a Parade Mews, London. Presenting the work of 6 international artists, the show was intended as a window into a space within a space, an uncanny familiarity, as if viewing reality through rippled glass.
HETEROTOPIA DISJUNCTURE II takes this moment as the point of departure: an immersion into the incoherence and intensity of a flawed symmetry, the world inside the mirror.
Layered with contradictions, HDII hones in on heterotopic spaces as experience, familiar states and scenarios, their antitheses, merging into one, activating one another. Here, the rupture is a moment, an occurrence, and the reverberations that follow. Shifting temporalities challenge familiar narratives, possibilities growing from the cracks.
HETEROTOPIA DISJUNCTURE II is a machination, an attempt to create spaces where time can exist on different planes, an ‘ el sewhere’ where the rules of society are both replicated, enhanced, dissolved and re-imagined
Nasopharyngeal Glial Heterotopia with Intracranial Extension: A Case Report
Get PDFNasopharyngeal glial heterotopia is a mass composed of mature neural tissue occurring outside the central nervous system and is extremely rare. The preoperative diagnosis of such a mass in the head and neck region is challenging. In this study, we report a case of a 16-month-old patient presenting with respiratory distress and snoring caused by nasopharyngeal glial heterotopia. Radiologic imaging and histopathology are obligatory for the definitive diagnosis of glial heterotopia. Preoperative evaluation of an intracranial connection is one of the most essential issues in the presence of pediatric nasopharyngeal masses. The gold standard of treatment is surgical excision. Early recognition and early surgical excision by endoscopic or external approach are crucial to relieve respiratory distress and to maintain healthy growth and development
Subependymal Heterotopy: Gray Matter Heterotopia in a Patient Presenting with Non-convulsive Status Epilepticus
No full textSubependymal heterotopia is the most common subtype of gray matter heterotopies. It occurs as a result of a defect in neuronal migration. Subependymal heterotopia may cause epileptic seizures. A 51-year-old patient who was admitted to our clinic with unconsciousness was diagnosed as non-convulsive status epilepticus by clinical and electroencephalography findings. Subependymal heterotopy was also detected in the magnetic resonance imaging of the patient who recovered with antiepileptic treatments. This case is presented to draw attention to the non-convulsive status epilepticus, which is challenging to recognize and subependymal heterotopia, which may be encountered in the etiology of epileptic seizures
Heterotopia and Perspective: Towards a Different Imagining of Landscape
Get PDFCan heterotopia help us make sense of globalisation? Against simplistic visions that the world is becoming one, Heterotopia and Globalisation in the Twenty-First Century shows how contemporary globalising processes are riven by heterotoian tension and complexities.
A heterotopia, in Michel Foucault's initial formulations, describes the spatial articulation of a discursive order, manifesting its own distinct logics and categories in ways that refract or disturb prevailing paradigms. While in the twenty-first century the concept of globalisation is frequently seen as a tumultuous undifferentiation of cultures and spaces, this volume breaks new ground by interrogating how heterotopia and globalisation in fact intersect in the cultural present. Bringing together contributors from disciplines including Geography, Literary Studies, Architecture, Sociology, Film Studies, and Philosophy, this volume sets out a new typology for heterotopian spaces in the globalising present. Together, the chapters argue that digital technologies, climate change, migration, and other globalising phenomena are giving rise to a heterotopian multiplicity of discursive spaces, which overlap and clash with one another in contemporary culture.
This volume will be of interest to scholars across disciplines who are engaged with questions of spatial difference, globalising processes, and the ways they are imagined and represented
Aged care as heterotopia?
No full textIn Foucault’s ‘Of Other Spaces’ (1986), we are introduced to heterotopias: spaces of ‘otherness’ that reveal the shadows of everyday life. One of these heterotopias that Foucault discusses is rest homes, which he describes as a place that exists on the border between being a heterotopia of crisis (a forbidden place) and a heterotopia of deviation (a place to house individuals that display behaviour that is irregular to the norm). \ud

In this paper, I explore Foucault’s notion of the rest home as heterotopia, through a close examination of the social worlds of ten older Australians, living in a residential aged care home in Queensland, Australia. Through a combination of repeated in-depth interviews and participatory visual methods, I unpack the social factors that regulate various heterotopian qualities of aged care. Centrally, I make the case that while heterotopias can be oppressive and sites ‘...in which humans experience their limits of existence’ (Hetherington, 1997:46), they can also be places of resistance, as demonstrated by the ways residents utilise habit in pushing back against institutional practices
A Case Report of Nasal Glial Heterotopia
No full textNasal glial heterotopia (NGH), also known as nasal glioma, is a rare congenital malformation in which a mature glial cell mass is found in a location other than the central nervous system. These benign masses are divided into 3groups based on localization: the intranasal, extranasal, and mixed types. Here we present a case study of a young boy with an extranasal-located NGH who underwent surgical resection. Radiological examination is indispensable to differentiate between other midline masses (hemangiomas, dermoid cysts, and encephaloceles). Magnetic resonance imaging should exclude communication with the central nervous system. Computed tomography is used to verify the integrity of the anterior skull base. The proper management of NGH is a complete resection, often by a multidisciplinary approach involving otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, and reconstructive surgery
Wajda’s Dostoevsky and Foucault’s heterotopia
No full textNational paradigms in cinematography are increasingly giving way to a transnational paradigm:
cinema is becoming polylocal. Polylocality first means locations not tied to one particular
country and an international cast and crew. It also corresponds to the merging of two or
more multicultural spaces interacting in the process of filmmaking that results in creating a
kind of master space, which is more than their sum. Such understanding is based on the Henri
Lefebvre’s definition of space as a product where the mental and the cultural, the social and the
historical, are interconnected. Polylocality, as a rule, takes place in film adaptations of literary
works made in a tradition different from the culture of the literary source and distant from it
in time and/or in space. Examples include Nastazja (1994) by Polish director Andrzej Wajda
that creates a special kind of cinematic space, to which the notion of polylocality applies to
a greater extent than to many other screen adaptations. The paper attempts to outline this
special space in the context of Michel Foucault’s ideas about heterotopia as a special location,
illusory and real, open and closed, permeable and sealed, where the order of things is different.
The author concludes that Wajda in Nastazja created a cinematic heterotopia, the structure of
which includes heterochrony, crisis heterotopia, death-resurrection heterotopia, and cultural
heterotopia
The Sublime Light and the Heterotopia. A Cistercian Cloister
No full textAn architectural perspective, on the relation between the Sublime and the Heterotopia and the role light plays therein. Eventually the notion of the f?stopos arises: a place connected and elevated to ‘the other place’ by light. The f?stopos is used as ‘theoretical inspiration’ for the design of my graduation project: a monastery for the Cistercian Order.Explore LabArchitectur
