- Heterotopia, as a parallel space that contains and evokes other spaces, exists in reality (such as a theatre stage) and holds up a mirror to other realities. In her talk at the Istanbul Bilgi University in Türkiye, Alexa Alice Joubin argues that the performance space is a mediated social construct that generates site-specific epistemology.

26:20 Conclusion
==============
Global performances of Shakespeare create worlds within worlds by combining the plays’ and audiences’ senses of place to build cultural spaces that are transformative. Heterotopia, created by the craft of world-making, anchors, enables and endorses some characters’ transformative experiences and self-discovery. Heterotopia pushes back against the illusions of Shakespeare’s ubiquity and universal meanings by pluralizing the aesthetic and political positions across and within artistic, scholarly and pedagogical communities.
Joubin's paper was delivered at the conference on Our Glocal Shakespeare: Intercultural Encounters With the Bard, organized by Murat Öğütcü, 19-20 April, 2024.
