Its significance lies in its ability to address those aspects of human experience and social life that transcend structured frameworks. In stark contrast to the well-defined roles and routines that dominate industrial work and economic life, liminality highlights transitional spaces, indeterminacy, ambiguity, play, and creativity. Consequently, it serves as a vital concept and a necessary counterbalance to the excessive focus on structural influences on human behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book endeavors to leverage the concept of liminality to cultivate a culturally and experientially sensitive psychology. To achieve this, it begins by establishing an original theoretical framework aimed at comprehending the \"liminal sources of cultural experience.\" Subsequently, the concept is applied to diverse domains, including tourism, pilgrimage, aesthetics, children's play, art therapy, and medical diagnosis. Finally, these domains are synthesized in a concluding commentary chapter that contextualizes them within an overarching theoretical framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense value for graduate students and researchers in cultural psychology, critical psychology, psychosocial psychology, developmental psychology, health psychology, anthropology, and the social sciences, including cultural studies. Its comprehensive approach and interdisciplinary insights make it a valuable resource for scholars seeking to explore the complexities of human experience and social dynamics from a liminal perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 338g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030831738\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44289595408634,"sku":"9783030831738","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_3d1ffc63-f2a3-44d5-8772-f8420d036b74.jpg?v=1687282358","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/experience-on-the-edge-theorizing-liminality-9783030831738","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
