Of Other Spaces (1967) by Michel Foucault
This text, entitled "Des Espace Autres," and
published by the French journal Architecture /Mouvement/ Continuité in October,
1984, was the basis of a lecture given by Michel Foucault in March 1967.
Although not reviewed for publication by the author and thus not part of the
official corpus of his work, the manuscript was released into the public domain
for an exhibition in Berlin shortly before Michel Foucault's death. Translated
from the French by Jay Miskowiec.
