The Provinces platform was set up in Greece at a historical juncture (Brexit, Trump election), a disconcerting time for the major centres of the Western world. The disconcert arose, on the one hand, from the inability of the periphery (as it was once again described) to keep pace with what the centres considered to be the most pressing matters of the new era; and, on the other hand, from the incapability of these same centres to timely comprehend or foresee relevant trends and developments. Today, after some years have passed, this disconcert is still present in public discourse. But at the same time, at least in the minds of The Provinces’ founders, the need the platform could meet has also become clearer since then. We see The Provinces online platform as an interface for places without a centre around which to revolve like satellites. We also see it as a self-ethnographic platform.
