Sharing economy: peer-to-peer accommodation as a foucauldian heterotopia Anna Farmaki, Dimitrios P. Stergiou and Prokopis Christou Abstract Purpose – This study aims to use Foucault’s theory of heterotopian space to interpret peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation experiences by considering the perceptions of Airbnb hosts and guests. Design/methodology/approach – Data for this study were collected through the use of semi-structured interviews with Airbnb hosts and guests of different cultural backgrounds. Findings – Informed by Foucault’s heterotopology, study findings identify and discuss the spatial dimensions at the micro-scale that distinguish P2P accommodation space from traditional hospitality spaces, arguing that P2P accommodation represents an interstitial space within the tourism system that triggers a reordering of resources, skills and meanings. Originality/value – The paper introduces a cutting-edge perspective on how P2P accommodation spatiality may be viewed or approached in a meaningfully different manner, particularly advancing knowledge on how prescribed roles and practices in hospitality are being redefined. Keywords Foucault, Heterotopia, Airbnb, Sharing economy, Peer-to-peer accommodation, Space Paper type Research paper 共享经济：分析作为福柯异托邦的点对点住宿 研究目的 : 本次研究通过福柯的‘‘异托邦’’空间理论, 结合考虑Airbnb房东与房客双方的看法, 来对点对点 （P2P）住宿的体验进行解释阐述。 研究设计 : 本次研究所用数据是通过对Airbnb的房东及来自不同文化背景的房客进行半结构访谈所收集 的。 研究发现 : 在福柯‘‘异质拓扑学’’理论的启发之下, 本次研究所取得的结果在微观的尺度上确定了一些使 P2P住宿空间有别于传统酒店空间的空间维度, 并对此展开讨论。研究还认为P2P住宿代表了旅游系统中 的间隔空间, 能够促使资源、技能与意义等重新排序。 研究价值 : 本文引入了一种前沿观点, 来以一种有意义的不同方式对P2P住宿空间的展开审视与探讨, 尤其 是针对重新定义酒店角色与做法的这一方面给予先进的知识。 关键词 : 关键词 点对点（P2P）住宿࿻Airbnb࿻异托邦࿻福柯࿻空间࿻共享经济 论文类型 : 研究论文 Consumo colaborativo: Alojamiento entre pares como heterotopı ´a Foucaultiana Prop osito : Este estudio utiliza la teorı´a de Foucault del espacio heterot  opico para interpretar las experiencias de alojamiento entre pares (P2P) al considerar las percepciones de hospedantes y hue´spedes en Airbnb. Diseño/metodología/enfoque : Los datos para este estudio fueron recolectados mediante el uso de entrevistas semiestructuradas con hospedantes y hue´spedes de Airbnb de diferentes orı´genes culturales. Recomendaciones : Informados por la heterotopologı´a de Foucault, los hallazgos del estudio identifican y debaten dimensiones espaciales a pequen˜a escala que distinguen el espacio de alojamiento P2P de los espacios residenciales tradicionales, argumentando que el alojamiento P2P representa un espacio intersticial dentro del sistema turı´stico que activa un reordenamiento de los recursos, habilidades y significados.
