Beskrivning

Landscapes of Liminality expands upon existing notions of spatial practice and spatial theory, and examines more intricately the contingent notion of “liminality” as a space of “in-between-ness” that avoids either essentialism or stasis. It capitalises on the extensive research that has already been undertaken in this area, and elaborates on the increasingly important and interrelated notion of liminality within contemporary discussions of spatial practice and theories of place. Bringing together international scholarship, the book offers a broad range of cross-disciplinary approaches to theories of liminality including literary studies, cultural studies, human geography, social studies, and art and design. The volume offers a timely and fascinating intervention which will help in shaping current debates concerning landscape theory, spatial practice, and discussions of liminality.

Recensioner i media

The liminal: a threshold, a transitional space, an area between, an edge or fault line. Cutting a path between place and space, the informed and probing essays in this extraordinary volume reach back to Arnold Van Gennep, Victor Turner and Yi fu Tuan in broadly based inquiry showing how edges are critical junctures of and overlapping borders of knowledge that includes folklore, literature, geography, gender, and visual media. Composed and presented with care, Landscapes of Liminality is a valuable contribution to a growing and compelling field of spatial studies.
