Abstract

This project suggests working from the anthropological point of view with two foucaultian concepts: heterotopia and subjectivity. Its desire is to understand the meaning of gated communities and "own confinement", and their relationship to production and managing the undesirables (Agier, 2008). The proposal seeks to visualize the characteristics and relationships of these contemporaries' spaces, focusing on how human beings, with their particular existences, assume and live individuation processes of subjectivity. The project considers the heterotopias of the sauna to the brothel are specializations of the subjectivity processes (Foucault, 2009). The proposal, in brief, aims to explore an interdisciplinary dialogue, elaborating concepts based on field research. (AU)
