The European legacy of marginality brought our critical inquiries alongside the most uncomfortable truth on our capacity, as Europeans, to border our identity as peripheries and centers of normality and utopia. The "marginals" of Europe, either insiders or outsiders, attached their consciousness to public discourses, from philosophical arguments to fictional productions that might be easily synthesized and recognized thorough two formulas that the authors dealt with "the aesthetic of resistance" and "the poetics of resentment". These two major dimensions are not only means that discriminated and abused people choose to (re)place themselves in this new mental and physical geography; they represent proofs of their transition, from internal to external Europeans, from Europeans to non-Europeans, in a cultural and political framework, shaped by the multiple trajectories of forced migrations. In the end, European marginality represents a territory of consciousness raised by our "cosmopolitan outsiders", exponents of a peripheral community that evolved in multiple and sometimes antagonistic central societies, tolerated or accepted individuals who remain the classical strangers and perpetual foreigners of different hermetic political or civil environments that puzzle our modern world
