Brittany Moore- Image and Pilgrimage #2

The topic of liminality is interesting to me because the way that Victor Turner writes it in Image and Pilgrimage is a bit strange. Liminality is "out there" and the space in between. It is the "state or process of mid-transition in a rite of passage". He says that liminars are both betwixt and between. The state of liminality is compared to death, being in the womb, invisibility, darkness, bisexuality, and the wilderness. But what I do not understand is how something can be compared to something we know nothing about? We do not know what it is like to be in the womb, to be invisible, or to be dead; therefore, how can we feel like that at all? One who is a liminar is undomesticated. They are not in control. So does that make the wild? Is being wild similar to being dead, invisible, and being in the womb? Turner offers a very strange, yet intriguing concept when he talks about liminality. Overall, I see how one can enter liminality when they shake off the marketplace and begin their journey of self discovery.
