liminality  

Définition

  • Liminality, a term borrowed from cultural anthropology, refers to various states of passage through which designated members of a culture travel at specified times of transition. For the duration of passage, such people are “betwixt and between,” suspended between the old roles they leave behind and the yet-to-be-shouldered demands of a new identity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Homelessness; Liminality]
