This is a mind-map to begin the process of clarifying and describing some key theories and concepts about liminality. I am beginning the sense-making process, and am investigating how blogging can be impacted by narratology, performativity, and other ideas.
The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.

There's a lot about liminality in anthropology and performance studies, especially as Victor Turner developed the term to theorize ritual. See Turner's Forest of Symbols (Cornell UP, 1967); for a more introductory discussion in contemporary performance studies, see Richard Schechner's Performance Studies: An Introduction (Routledge, 2002).
Thank you Mark, I am interested in exploring the topic of liminality from an educational perspective, as I would like to develop blogging activities with learners.
