What is the FRINGE Centre?
The FRINGE Centre explores
the roles that complexity, ambivalence and immeasurability play in
social and cultural phenomena. A cross-disciplinary
initiative bringing together scholars from the humanities and social
sciences, FRINGE examines how seemingly opposed notions such as
centrality and marginality, clarity and ambiguity, can shift and
converge when embedded in everyday practices. Our interest
lies in the hidden complexity of all embedded practices,
taken-for-granted and otherwise invisible subjects. Illuminating the
'fringe' thus puts the 'centre' in a new light.
The FRINGE Centre is an initiative founded and funded by the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies and housed at the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies.
