Abstract
The conclusion sums up the main findings and identifies various types of camps according to their primary and secondary functions and lists the functional equivalents of camps. While acknowledging that camps constitute a very widespread phenomenon, it also underlines that they are always the exception, that is, heterotopias or ‘outsides inside.’ In their benign forms they may constitute ‘humanitarian spaces,’ but they often also have much more sinister functions. The chapter also points to the need for further research.
