ABSTRACT
The associative horizon prompted by concepts such as ‘peripheral’ and ‘marginal’ is tinted by an incessant apprehension of a lesser permanence in human presence. Just like a ‘ghost town’ has been completely abandoned by human inhabitants as the supporting economic activity has failed (Sibell Wolle, 1991), we tend to think of the periphery in its relation to the core as hard hit by ‘ghostification’. This is not least due to an unstoppable reduction in the workforce in agriculture and in general to a persistent urbanisation, draining the periphery of people and functions.
