Abstract

Heterotopy is space represented by different images of places; these images of places may be incompatible or poorly compatible with each other. Geographic imagination, taken in its phenomenological-narrative context, provides the real geography and topography of the region. Spatiality is carried out ontologically as the deployment of overlapping geographic images which transforming each other. The ontology of a place is revealed by the multiplicity of its autonomous landscapes, which become immiscible heterotopies. Heterotopies propagate themselves through evermultiplying landscapes.
