| description | The use of the term periphericity has been greatly in favour which is inversely proportional to the rigour of its definition. This observation, if periphicity is apprehended in a different perspective, takes us to consider and reconsider quite a number of concepts and notions which shape relations in between geographical objects. It is then necessary to resort to topology and shed a new light on the concepts of contiguity, connexity, discontinuity or even more on metric, enclavement or periphericity. A far better insight would then be acquired, and it would allow to relativise its use for political goals. We must then take into account the distinction between the spatial and the non-spatial meaning of the term periphery. Otherwise, and often on purpose, a confusion is created between the topographical position of a point in relation to a geographical centre and which does not inevitably hold a relation dominated/dominant in the economic sense. |
