Taking liminality as ‘the gap between worlds’ this fascinating edited collection brings new life to the concept. Building on the understanding of liminality first explored by Arnold van Gennep and later developed by Victor Turner, this book provides exciting insights into the practice and meaning of liminality in a variety of contexts. The thirteen chapters are based on solid, original multi- and interdisciplinary research in several different fields of enquiry ranging from religious communities, dance, arts and crafts to church porches. The book not only acknowledges the founding work of van Gennep and Turner, but through the fresh insights offered bring challenging questions to the fore that serve to develop the concept of liminality. In so doing, this book, a valuable resource for all scholars interested in the betwixt and between, shows the on-going value of thinking with and through the liminal.
