Pour une actualisation de la notion hétérotopique à l’ère du numérique : Quid des « contre-espaces » de la réalité virtuelle ?

Abstract
On October 28, 2021, the Facebook company decides to rename itself publicly as “Meta,”
democratizing at the same time the eponymous subject, “metaverses,” digital and
permanent virtual worlds in which users are physically immersed and able to interact.
This paper, presented in first instance to the University of Besançon during the summer
of 2021, tries to put itself in the place of a living Michel Foucault, in the 21st century: how
would he have understood the synchrony of our western culture today? By crossing the
notion of heterotopology by Foucault (1984) with the concept of “civilization of access” by
Michel Serres (2012) and studies on virtual reality (Fuchs 2018), we use the anachronism
in order to bring out new ideas on virtual reality “counter-spaces.”
