Horizons of Marginality
"Marginality is the condition of being on the edges. Such a position is not necessarily disadvantageous, as to be marginal could also mean being located at the border of disparate realities (e.g. social groups, cultures, languages), thus acquiring some of the traits or values common to any one of them. [...] Marginality calls dichotomies into question. It casts doubt on canons, on what lies in and beyond the margins, on the divides between the Self and the Other."
Sapienza Graduate Forum Horizons of Marginality examines the concept of marginality through literary and linguistic perspectives.
