뜻
Living outside the mainstream, not fully integrated into society, often struggling.
문화적 배경
In Egyptian literature, 'Al-Hamish' often refers to the 'Zabbaleen' (garbage collectors) or those living in 'City of the Dead'. It's a central theme in the works of Naguib Mahfouz. In Palestinian contexts, this phrase is frequently used to describe the status of refugees in camps who feel excluded from the global political 'Matn' (main text). In Morocco and Tunisia, the phrase is used in 'Cinema of the Margin' to depict rural-to-urban migration struggles. With rapid modernization, the phrase is sometimes used to describe the older generation who feel they are 'on the margin' of the new high-tech society.
