Abstract
Through some possible routes between the United States, Europe, and Latin America over the last century, this paper attempts to review some uses of the seemingly simple but nuanced, fruitful, and elusive notion of marginality. It is highlighted that a relatively limited set of subjects (migrants, declassed workers, traditional sectors, people of African descent, residents of peripheral areas, prisoners, and the homeless) and social relations (economic, racial, gender, and the intersectionality between them); dimensions (cultural, social, political, urban, and violence) are at stake; and, finally, some contrasts are established with concepts that have a family resemblance (exclusion, peripheries, underclass), from which marginality is distinguished in that it seems to conceal its relational nature and the actor who marginalizes: there are «marginals», but the other side of the polarity is not clear. In a certain return, the interest of the notion in formal terms is defended, concentrated in the «border form», where each time the limit is established between here and there, some and others, and some risks are noted that lurk in the debate from the first steps of the journey: the capture of «marginal identities» of one kind or another, hypostatizing their relational nature.
