The Heterotopia of Orpheus and the Creation of Poets

Mattie 2022-01-20 08:01:29

To put it bluntly, creation is based on heterotopia. Heterotopia is a field of fictional construction and mutual interaction, and fantasy of heterotopia is also the source of creative power. Almodovar's "Speak to Her" and Fellini's "Night of Kabylia" are also heterotopias. Of course, Orpheus's death ceremony is even closer to heterotopias. ; The alienation and fiction contained in any space, the places with exotic and dreamy colors are all heterotopias, and they also have meta-referential meaning. Using heterotopias to study "Orphi", we can find that heterotopias are real (unlike distant utopias, heterotopias can bridge fiction and reality through trivial things and some real details in life. Connections, such as the radio in the movie, the music, and the water-resistant gloves of the god of death-suggest the fluidity of the space in the mirror. The slow time behind the mirror and the fluctuation of the "wind" are also a deliberate imitation of the underwater world. It can even be said to be one of the arguments to prove its true existence. In a sense, heterotopia is still the carrier of utopia.)
