ГРАНИЦЕ РЕГИОНА: ХЕТЕРОТОПИЈА И ИДЕНТИТЕТ. ЕПИСТЕМОЛОШКИ АСПЕКТ
THE REGION’S BORDERS: HETEROTOPIA AND IDENTITY. EPISTEMOLOGICAL ASPECT

Summary/Abstract: This paper has been developed on the margins of Faucault’s idea od Heterotopia, on the basic dinstinction of utopian and heterotopian. If pre-civil epoch is characterized expirience of temporariness, which is overcome by going back (genealogy) or leaving to the future (prediction, superstition) then its main feature is utopian thinking, which means domination of the conception of Time over the conception of Space. On the contrary, the birth of Moderna introduces, gradually but surely, overwhelming of Time over Space, where Utopia is being replaced by Heterotopia. It menas, at the same time, abolishing of the eschatology of the pas (myths, genealogy) and the future (ideal community, ideal order) with an “eschatology” of the present (here, now), which implies space variables, distribution. If Utopia is the place that is nowhere, then Heterotopia is the place that can be anywhere.
