Heterotopology and Geography

A Reflection

Università degli Studi di Bologna

Topology is the search for the places in history. It is the possibility to suspend time. Here, starting from Edward Soja and Michel Foucault, it legitimates the returning to the very beginning of the modern age-there, where we can perceive that original and premodern heterotopia concretely ordered by a mirror and a panel. This heterotopia reflects and inverts a space ordered by analogies, a space that is not still fixed by the mortifying tabular logic proper of the modern age. Or else a space whose main working might be similar to the postmodern wrapping. This heterotopia—the specular projection by Filippo Brunelleschi—reflects the subjection in which the space submits whoever looks towards it. The aim is to understand the premodern origins of that mechanism through which postmodern geographers could redraw their maps.
