Abstract

This review analyzes the book "The utopian body, the heterotopias" by Michel Foucault. The analyzed study brings emblematic contributions to the debate about body and space. The book has relevance for studies in the humanities, showing different spaces able to bring together various bodies that are not taken into account in normalizing systems.
