Abstract

The study focused on the concept of the Other Place (Heterotopia) in the Mad House Poems by the Israeli Hebrew poet Lali Tsipi Michaeli, represented in the house, and the external place represented by Tel Aviv, by its existence in a different state from its surroundings. The study relied on Michel Foucault's hypotheses about the other place (Heterotopia), which he discussed in the sixties of the last century.
This study closely examines the theme of the house as a cultural concept, the other place, which differs in its definitions from the places surrounding it, as it exists outside the Place itself, and its inhabitants are labeled as "the others", to reveal how the house deviated, and took on a "deviant" representation in the poems. The study also aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the house as a periphery and the land as a center and to represent the "Other Homeland" in terms of being a space that snatches itself from the homogeneous normal place that surrounds it.
