Origins
The term, heterotopia, is first introduced by the French philosopher Michel Foucault in 1967 during a conference lecture, Des espaces autres. (Foucault, 1967) It functions as a concept within human geography. Its key element is to describe places and spaces functioning in a non-hegemonic state.
