Abstract

With this article we intend to examine the concepts of utopia and heterotopia, as proposed by Michel Foucault, from considerations about the notions of places and non-places. In these places others, we attempt to show the inflexion points of contestation and compensations, in relation to the processes that do not correspond to our ideals, or, more than that, do not answer to the preservation and dignity of our specie.
