Foucault and space

Abstract

This work presents summarized analyses of Foucault's understanding of space, noted by West-Pavlov and Zieleniec, and provides further elaboration. The subject of analysis is Foucault's identification of the role of space in generation of scientific knowledge and articulation and implementation of power/knowledge, as well as his concept of heterotopia. This work calls on West-Pavlov and Zieleniec's fundamental positions and provides overview of Foucault's positions regarding space and society, and contributes with further analysis and elaboration.Autor iznosi sumirano analize Fukoovog razumevanja prostora koje su uradili Vest-Pavlov i Zilnic i pruža dalju elaboraciju na datu temu.
