Hey there! Do you have any recommended readings about Heterotopias?

faraway look. my horrors. well [i should say i am Not an understander and i have actually read very little and it was really just for a teeny assignment. and i could totally have misunderstood whatever foucault was trying to say because i feel like his original lecture was just not very well delivered. ok disclaimer over]

if you haven't already read foucault's original lecture 'of other spaces' then please do that and let me know if u understood it at all (because i was 🧍 after reading it)! other than that i referred to this paper by peter johnson and this by kyamalia bairagya. both of them are very brief introductions to foucault's lecture and to prior discussions of foucaultian heterotopias.

this paper by radford et al. contextualises the heterotopia within the library and this book by eric smith that i have only sort of flipped through about catacombs in the roman empire. there are some more articles about jorge luis borges and james joyce &c regarding heterotopias but those i really haven't read at all so :') hope this was helpful!!

[catilinas]

can i also recommend this paper by elena giusti about carthage in the aeneid as a heterotopia!

hung out with cousin's DJ friend last night and he said the best compliment he's ever received was when he was DJing an orgy and did his research ahead of time and came prepared with Portishead/Massive Attack/Cocteau Twins/etc and halfway through the set, a woman stopped mid-blowjob and pulled the dick out of her mouth to say (to nobody in particular) "damn, this mix is incredible!"

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

american puritan names have nothing on the first name of this 17th century dutch woman artist i just read about. my girl Tesselschade ('texel damage') named after the shipwrecking of her father's 44 trade ships on the coast of the island Texel in 1593.

There aren’t any lovely ladies where I live that are hip-hop heads. It’s a real problem. I have to eventually move somewhere else if I’m ever going to find a wife I can cuddle with on the couch while listening to Dilla…passing a big ass kush blunt back and forth. I need this in my life.
