Sexual heterotopies, an epistemological localization

Abstract

The present essay analyzes the concept of “heterotopía” proposed by Michel Foucault as an epistemological location with regard to the imbrications existing between the spatial and sexual dimensions. Thus, the aim of this essay is to draw an association between urban life and those singular freedoms that are intended to obtain in the imaginary of a city. For such tasks the text brings together a series of ethnographic interviews that include, on the one hand, the characterization of a displacement located by homosexual men and, on the other, an epistemological resource to think about these spatial movements.

Keywords:
espace; sexuality; heterotopía; displacement; city
