Research: APPLYING General Liminality Concepts

http://sunsetliminal.tumblr.com/liminality
- “Liminality is the threshold of the unexplained.  It is full of concepts without phrases and definitions without meanings'  (Greg Scheiber)
-  'It’s full of ambiguity, uncertainty, and fluidity. For me, it conjures up images of amphibian life, changing seasons, starfish, lucid dreams, big life changes, and (of course) sunsets.” 
(Kate Gulden) 

  • Concept of the ambiguity that comes with liminality, fear of the unknown - Can apply this to space - Unexplained objects

- A refugee can be liminal - moving countries - don't belong anywhere for a period of time (like guy in first article)
- Books can have liminal Plots (singleton to finding love) (sunset moment etc)

  • Sense of not belonging - Relates to feeling I got in abandoned cafe - unease 
  • It is a phase, doesn't last forever - True to space, industry or countryside eventually wins

Liminal Process phases (lit): Deconstruction/ Death; Chaos: destroyed value system, disorientation, discomfort, failure to find new vale system; Transformation: learning to live with tension, embrace, be changed
'of discomfort, of waiting and of transformation' - 'identity disintegrates'

  • Confusion of identity - interesting concept - where does it lie?

- Story of forming of dead horse bay

  • Perfectly follows The Write System liminality process outline - Death: dying of industry, dumping of detritus/ Liminality - now - chaos, dump, conflict/ Transformation: eventual rejuvenation
