“In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage take the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates.”
*The heterotopias keep the dreams alive, and keep the boats afloat, because history and past experiences/memory remind one of dreams and desires. The obsession of the 19th century perhaps the most important slice of the heterotopic timeline because it lead to the idea and philosophy of the heterotopia in itself. Though if espionage taking place of adventure and police removing the pirates than the heterotopias of the world might be dissipating because there is no adventure anymore, the nation or the world even have shifted from the greatness, innocence and wonder of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCwO_CQm5jA, and fallen pray to the disenchantment of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWpsgXT5_XE
But then again, who knows, perhaps we still have hope for dreams to come true (like the shrinking of the globe- in this time of simultaneity- and coming closer and closer to in time knowledge of the world, and the 19th century obsession that is History)? The exploration of the real heterotopias can take one into the hyper-reals of America- disneyland- and these codes of action and logical thought can bring things into full focus into the heterotopia of both the past, and cultural identifications then, and the now... or more correct, the future and possibilities that make up "the magic of Disney"- America.
