"Initially 'liminarité' (liminality) was associated with the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of rituals, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the ritual is complete. In the course of time, the notion of liminality has been interpreted more extensively. The dusk is liminal in a sense, and so are revolutions or carnivals, or any secluded way of life, or traveling, or any sudden change. Here we have ambiguity and precariousness, detachment and approaching, the balance between what we know and what we cannot predict, everything dangerous and the fascinating, the reflective wait state and wild thirst for action. Liminality is a waiting room and the interim, when you are rather 'in between' than 'in the middle' – that means you keep seeking for ever more points of reference."
