Summary

We are nowadays witnessing the formation of new spaces, "out of place" marked by an common extraterritoriality (zones, camps, squats, invasions...). Urban "decentralization" is necessary to understand the anthropological logic of cities from these peripheral limits. Humanitarian territories and urban margins are getting closer. The liminarity of urban outskirts promotes some ritual freedom.
