Peripheries

This research subject complements recent scholarship on Latinx theory, borderlands, and third space (a hybrid and ambiguous location beyond the peripheries and center).

In the early 20th century, Algerians lived in slums on the peripheries of Algiers which was, then, mainly European.

The new sci-fi franchise, The Expanse, fascinates me, although I have seen only snippets of it in videos and writing. It reinforces my tendency to think that humanity will spend a long time, centuries, within the Solar System. Travel outside the Sun's peripheries will be difficult, as faster-than-light travel seems impossible with current science. Travelling at the speed of light to the nearest star system, the triple-star Alpha Centauri, would take more than four years if it were possible.
