"In the colony we have a heterotopia that is, as naive enough to want to achieve an illusion. In the brothel we have, however, a heterotopia that is subtle and clever enough to dispel the reality only by the power of illusion to want to. And if you consider that ships big ships of the 19th Century, a piece are floating space ships places without a place to rely entirely on themselves, self-contained and also the endless sea that travel from port to port, from guard to guard, from brothel to brothel until the colonies to to get the most precious thing to authentic gardens just described, it is clear why the boat for 16 of our civilization, at least since the Century not only have been the main vehicle for economic development but also the largest reservoir of the imagination. The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. Civilizations that have no ships are like children whose parents do not have a double bed, on which they can play. Then dry up your dreams. In place of adventure where does the spying and the place of the glorious Freu Beuter the ugly police "
