Transcendent Marginality
View through CrossRef
This short essay provides a summary of various interpretations of the concept, marginality, with particular focus on positive conceptualizations. From this backdrop, a new term, transcendent marginality, is presented. It is suggested that this term more clearly highlights the emancipatory potential of marginality—both for those occupying marginal positions and for those who may be at (or near) the center but who recognize the inherent oversimplistic, monolithic view of center–periphery dichotomies.
