Liminality has the potential to be a leading paradigm for
understanding transformation in a globalizing world. As a
fundamental human experience, liminality transmits cultural
practices, codes, rituals, and meanings in situations that fall
between defined structures and have uncertain outcomes. Based on
case studies of some of the most important crises in history,
society, and politics, this volume explores the methodological
range and applicability of the concept to a variety of concrete
social and political problems.
Is 21st-century Rome a global city? Is it part of Europe's core
or periphery? This volume examines the "real city" beyond Rome's
historical center, exploring the diversity and challenges of life
in neighborhoods affected by immigration, neoliberalism, formal
urban planning, and grassroots social movements. The contributors
engage with themes of contemporary urban studies the global city,
the self-made city, alternative modernities, capital cities and
nations, urban change from below, and sustainability. Global Rome
serves as a provocative introduction to the Eternal City and makes
an original contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship."
