Heterotopia...镜子人生


I am reading the architecture theory about 'Heterotopias' in space this few days. If you know about the term of Utopia, then this word is some kind of opposite meaning. Heterotopia is mean 'other places', a place that different from the places that they try to reflect. This is a concept developed by Foucauldian which included following definition:

"these heterotopias, there might be a sort of mixed, joint experience, which would be the mirror. The mirror is, after all, a utopia, since it is a placeless place. In the mirror, I see myself there where I am not, in an unreal, virtual space that opens up behind the surface; I am over there, there where I am not, a sort of shadow that gives my own visibility to myself, that enables me to see myself there where I am absent"

Sometime we do have two different worlds in our life; the real world and the illusion world that we imagine in mind. Like internet world create 'net-tizen' which is not existed but it is how we live every day: Fcaebook, email, blogs, Friendster, MSN, and Skype. The computer screen has created our second world, for instance. However, the theory is much more complicated than what I've described above. 

基本上我们都会有两种不同的世界:一个是我们生存的真实世界,一个是我们的虚拟世界。而这两个世界有时会同时出现;就如照镜子,当你站在那真是世界看着那在镜子里面的虚幻的自己一样,你并不能否认镜子里的人是你自己,但是‘他’并不能代表真正的你。 哈哈哈,够哲学吧? 着就是我在读建筑理论里的其中的一部分。其实别管是什么建筑学的理论,就当它是一个反省自己的道理就好了。在今天充满引诱,斗争,忙碌和虚幻的世界里,可能有时侯我们也分不清楚何时是现实世界的自己,何时又是镜子里面的自己?可能忙碌一生,到最后只是镜子里面的世界,是虚幻的,是不真实的。可能有时我们能暂时从现实世界中抽离出来,尽情的活在我们自己的镜子里面,但到最后,要生存的是对着镜子的自己。虽然最残酷的是我们现实的世界,但我们除了坦然地面对它并没其他逃离的方法。再不愿意,不喜欢,不甘愿有能怎样呢?日子难过天天过,有很多事情是两面的:瞬间你看可能是一个充满引诱的胴体,再仔细看它不过的捕鱼网而已呀!
