== Geometric turn == When we speak of the geometric turn, we mean the geometric turn in histories of power into histories of social otherness. [[Chris Philo]] defines the geometric turn as "the desire to impose simple spatial categories and indeed dualistic oppositions on the historical materials. [[Michel Foucault]] studied the geometries of power that have structured the historical experiences of human populations by projecting a simple geometry of inclusion and exclusion of inside and outside on the history of Western madness. ====References ==== * Philo, C.
