Definitions of Liminal Space
- 'Transition between states'
- Common transitions (eg. child > adult, single > married, plenty > famine)
- The association with practices
Thresholds and separation (from identity, structure and norms)
- The role of power (chosen vs imposed separation)
- Language and labels (eg. foster care, asylum)
Implications and Uses of Liminal Space
- The upheaval of values and beliefs, and impact to identity
- Anti Structure and periods of flux
- Value of Liminal language (individual vs. collective, and the path to reincorporation)
- Being forced to stay in a Liminal State (and the impact to hope/effort)
How to approach and explore Liminal States
- The likelihood it'll be uncomfortable and ambiguous
- Types of questions (tentative vs definite)
- The process of exploration
- The role of images
