Abstract
This research paper aims to re-evaluate the concept of Foucault’s heterotopia and analyze the logic of heterotopia in non-physical spaces. The scope of this research paper is the three research reports from the research series “Other Spaces as Other Space: Revisiting Heterotopia in the Context of History, Literature, and Videogame". The research paper found that ambiguity, comparison, and play were the other aspects of heterotopia that Foucault had not discussed. The principle of ambiguity highlights that heterotopia functions on the logic of neither-nor. It disavows the sense of presence for the heterotopia and its objects qua subject. Comparison re-affirms that juxtaposition in heterotopia can only be achieved through comparison as the latter brings out the other aspects of objects, putting them closer to the others-as-themselves in heterotopia. Lastly, because play rearranges meanings and expressions of any space, it does affect not only the space itself, but also time, its relationship with other spaces, and the playing subject and non-play subject.
