Liminality
September 15th, 2011
When I read the liminality assignment, I was definitely a little confused. I truly do not understand why when these authors write these books, they feel like they have to state everything at least five different times in like five different ways. It just makes the reading much more confusing. But after class today I understand the whole concept made much more sense! Watching the movie clips that everyone chose helped so much!
Now that the whole liminality thing makes more sense to me, I definitely say that I agree with Turner guy. A pilgrimage is about the journey and how it changes you. Upon returning to your home after a pilgrimage you are no longer the same person. The whole point of a pilgrimage is to grow from the experience.
I’m so glad that everything makes sense now!!

The idea of Liminality was a very confusing part of the Turner model of pilgrimage. This concept did help make clear what an actually pilgrimage was in my opinion. In Turner’s model, the idea of pilgrimage is more solid than that of Eliade.
