Abstract

The objective of this text is to discuss the concept of “periphery” using contemporary theories of cultural studies, taking into account the obsolescence of notions such as “inside” and “outside “ and the descentering of the subject, emphasising instead concepts such as gaming, hybridism and artifi ciality in relation to the idea of “peripheral culture”.
