Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author deals with issues and major problems related to the renewal of interest in sociology in spaces, places and boundaries. What is indicated are are the main theoretical currents and their renewal, ranging from the Annales School, to neomarxism and postmodernism. The basic assumption is that there is no unified and homogeneous space for sociology, but divided and heterogeneous. In this sense, boundaries represent one of the key assumptions that space appears as heterogeneous and as socially produced. Special attention is paid to the notion of heterotopias (other places / places of others) as those spaces and places that produce the different order with respect to the everyday (normal) life.
