This book provides the history and genealogy of an increasingly
important subject: liminality. Coming to the fore in recent years
in social and political theory and extending beyond is original use
as developed within anthropology, liminality has come to denote
spaces and moments in which the taken-for-granted order of the
world ceases to exist and novel forms emerge, often in
unpredictable ways. Liminality and the Modern offers a
comprehensive introduction to this concept, discussing its
development and laying out a conceptual and experiential framework
for thinking about change in terms of liminality. Applying this
framework to questions surrounding the implosion of 'non-spaces',
the analysis of major historical periods and the study of political
revolution, the book also explores its possible uses in social
science research and its implications for our understanding of the
uncertainty and contingency of the liquid structures of modern
society. Shedding new light on a concept central to social thought,
as well as its capacity for pushing social and political theory in
new directions, this book will be of interest to scholars across
the social sciences and philosophy working in fields such as
social, political and anthropological theory, cultural studies,
social and cultural geography, and historical anthropology and
sociology.
