Ideas and concepts of liminality have long shaped debates around
the uses and practices of space in constructions of identity,
particularly in relation to different forms of travel such as
tourism, migration and pilgrimage, and the social, cultural and
experiential landscapes associated with these and other mobilities.
The ritual, performative and embodied geographies of borderzones,
non-places, transitional spaces, or 'spaces in-between' are often
discussed in terms of the liminal, yet there have been few attempts
to problematize the concept, or to rethink how ideas of the liminal
might find critical resonance with contemporary developments in the
study of place, space and mobility. Liminal Landscapes fills this
void by bringing together variety of new and emerging
methodological approaches of liminality from varying disciplines to
explore new theoretical perspectives on mobility, space and
socio-cultural experience. By doing so, it offers new insight into
contemporary questions about technology, surveillance, power, the
city, and post-industrial modernity within the context of tourism
and mobility. The book draws on a wide range of disciplinary
approaches, including social anthropology, cultural geography,
film, media and cultural studies, art and visual culture, and
tourism studies. It brings together recent research from scholars
with international reputations in the fields of tourism, mobility,
landscape and place, alongside the work of emergent scholars who
are developing new insights and perspectives in this area. This
timely intervention is the first collection to offer an
interdisciplinary account of the intersection between liminality
and landscape in terms of space, place and identity. It therefore
charts new directions in the study of liminal spaces and mobility
practices and will be valuable reading for range of students,
researchers and academics interested in this field.
