This comment on Urban Outcasts appreciates Wacquant's awareness of contextual difference and his effort to theorize advanced marginality. Two critical remarks are formulated regarding the use of the polarization thesis as the backdrop for analyzing advanced marginality (which, in my view, goes against the contextual sensitivity of the analysis), and the neglect of the neighbourhood effect literature, which is summarily discarded. The second half of the comment is devoted to a brief discussion of advanced marginality in South European cities and particularly in Athens. It is, therefore, a discussion that contextualizes some of the features that Wacquant proposes for advanced marginality in terms of their occurrence and meaning within a different path towards post-Fordism and a persistently residual welfare regime (that may bear some similarity with conditions in some other parts of the world, such as South America).Résumé Ce commentaire sur Urban Outcasts (Parias urbains) apprécie d'abord l'attention de Wacquant aux différences de contexte, ainsi que ses efforts pour conceptualiser la marginalité avancée. Les deux observations critiques qui sont formulées concernent le recours à la thèse de la polarisation comme toile de fond à une analyse de la marginalité avancée (ce qui va, selon moi, à l'encontre de la sensibilité contextuelle de cette analyse), et le désintérêt pour la littérature sur l'effet de proximité, sommairement écartée. Une seconde partie se consacre à une courte discussion sur la marginalité avancée dans les villes du Sud de l'Europe, notamment à Athènes. Cette discussion replace donc certaines caractéristiques de la marginalité avancée proposées par Wacquant en fonction de leur identification et de leur signification dans le cadre d'un cheminement différent vers le post-fordisme et d'une forme résiduelle persistante d'État-providence (pouvant rappeler des situations propres à d'autres parties du monde, telle l'Amérique du Sud
