Liminality is a concept derived from anthropology, particularly from the work of Victor Turner, who studied rituals and social transitions. The term refers to a transitional phase in which an individual or group exists between two states of being. During this phase, participants are no longer in their previous state, but have not yet transitioned to their next state. This period is often characterized by ambiguity, disorientation, and the dissolution of normal social hierarchies and structures.
