ABSTRACT
Marginal regions are viewed as relative, multiphasic, and dynamic phenomena in close dependence on the scale and subjective elements. An occasion is perceived for the alleviation of marginality without loss of cultural identity, all of which makes a plurality of viewpoints for its understanding not only possible but also necessary. The contribution of Canal Feijoo puts a link between geography and history of political ideas. This way he creates a history of Argentine spatial structuration from the city, process that gave origin to two organization types. Both Eduardo Mallea and E. Martinez Estrada are deeply immersed in the cultural pessimism that followed the First World War, and the Argentine situation in the thirties. Search has confirmed the questions stated in the introduction, that is, that to evaluate marginality it is necessary to have at hand qualitative and quantitative indicators, as well as a graduation of the internal and external factors effects.
