'It is worth knowing where the boundary between the metropolis and the province, the backwater and the sticks actually runs' - wrote the author while analysing the problem of the centre and the periphery during the 'In Praise of the Province' session. In doing so, he proposed abandoning a division into that which is central, i. e. connected with the great agglomeration, and that which is provincial, i. e. located outside the city. The era of globalisation coincides with a decline of the institution of the traditional province, which is actually situated within ourselves, similarly to an awareness of the centre of the world in which we reside. It is strictly up to us whether we live in the 'sticks', which the author considers to be dull and encumbered with complexes, or whether we live in the very centre, emphasising that which is essential for our daily life and enhancing its value.
