Neither Here nor There: The Many Voices of Liminality draws
together the expertise, experience, and insights of a coterie of
authors, all of whom relate the core concepts of liminality to
their unique contexts. The experience of and inquiry into liminal
phenomena have developed into a distinct discipline of study which
now crosses and informs many areas of thought, including
anthropology, sociology, theology, psychology, literature and
education. New vistas of interdisciplinary study have opened as a
result of sharing the common language and symbol system of
liminality. This anthology reflects the current resurgence of
liminality and provides a critical source book ideal for individual
reflection, study groups, classes and seminars. From the inner
workings of spiritual life to large social transformations,
liminality now provides a powerful interpretive tool and effective
method for spiritual direction, teaching and leadership.
Liminal Reality and Transformational Power explores, draws
together, and integrates the many facets of liminality, and informs
our understanding of liminal phenomena in the world. Through
anthropology, sociology, theology, neurology and psychology, Carson
correlates exterior transitions with their corresponding
intra-psychic movements and points toward useful methods that
contribute to personal and social transformation. In this revised
edition, Carson has recognised the resurgence of liminality, and
addresses the social transitions that are prevalent today in
communities around the world. He examines the identity of the
'liminal' person and highlights the role of ritual leaders and
religious professionals as they guide people through liminal time
and space. Carson's work greatly contributes to an expanded
understanding of the complex dimensions of religious leadership and
provides useful insight into our intra-psychic processes during the
significant transitional stages in life.
