Todays talk combines two different and complementary disciplinary
approaches from the physical and human geography that propose a
simultaneous socio-cultural, geographical and spatial analysis of
marginalised spaces. It begins with the conceptual explanation of
the spatial and territorial margin. In a second step, based on
empirical examples from research projects carried on in Dakar (the
different types of margin occupations by the upper and lower
classes), in the South of Italy (the instalment of illegal migrants
in rural, marginalised areas for the tomato harvest) and in Jordan
(the governmental resettlement project of fort he Bedouins from the
UNESCO World Heritage site of Petra), the concept of marginality is
explored from spatial, architectonical, territorial and
socio-cultural perspectives.
