The objective of the debate, which is part of the project Confluent Margins was to discuss publicly the ideological stances on which the project is based, and to reflect critically on the whole cultural context of Macedonia regarding the upcoming cultural policy of the country - the decentralization.

Macedonia cannot escape from the global processes and from the structural redefinitions of the society roles and the division of power in ot.
In the classical political model the society is often presented according to a shape where vertical forms dominate: pyramid, stairs, mountain. Today, the oposition top/bottom is changed with the oposition centar/periphery, and the social dynamics is also changed. In the present sociocultural model the invoke of the sate, the people or the teritory is not satisfactory anymore. With the developement of the individualistic instances in the frames of the multicultural issue, also grows the importance of the socio-cultural factor in shaping of the societal space, while the political dimension is weakening. Pressured by the socio-cultural factors, the centar is now in a constant questioning of the conception of the system, while the groups from the peripheral positions are trying to impose other concepts.

Alternative geography begins to emerge on the margins that question the self-definition of the center, they deconstruct the cultural selfefficiency and redesign the maps of western modernism, in order to reveal heterogenous spases, to reveal a cartography of crashings which stresses the relationships among the differently valued sights and spaces put under the masks of unity of the national state.
