  2. Kohn (2006) Radical Space: Building the House of the People • Lefebvre- Space is social. Particular places can initiate, maintain, frame, or interrupt contact between people. Permits/suggests/ prohibits certain actions. • Dominated space (technological realizations of projects of masters) vs. • Appropriated space (modified to serve human needs)

  3. Kohn (2006) Radical Space: Building the House of the People • Foucault- heterotopias: "spaces in which social arrangements are represented, challenged, and overturned: places that lie outside all places and yet are actually localizable." • Crisis heterotopias: temporary sites of transition • Heterotopias of deviance: sites of policing, disciplining, segregating by normality and abnormality • Heterotopias of resistance: function to transform society rather than escape or segregate
