Fragment #1: Notes on Poetry


3 phases of a rite of passage
1.     Separation (divestiture)
2.     Transition (liminality) The borderlands—betwixt
3.     Incorporation

In the liminal phase a person is “temporarily undefined”, “stripped of status” and “beyond normative social structure”. They are neither here nor there. (Turner)

A person is ambiguous… Danger or potential?


Relationship to dominant narrative
·      Liminal entities need to transform, transition & invest into the laws, customs, conventions and ceremonies of a social hierarchy.
·      People who can not completely or refuse to do this (conscientious objectors, colonized ethnicities) isolate or communally express the idea of anti-structure.
·      In spatial terms people are inside (invested), in between (liminal), on the edge (marginal), beneath (inferior—you are denied privileged entry into a social system), outside (don’t accept the social hierarchy & narrative—step outside it).
