The concept of Liminality is a notion developed by Arnold Van Gennep, 1 taken later by Victor Turner, 2 and refers to the State of openness and ambiguity that characterizes the stage of a tripartite space-time ( a phase preliminal or prior, an intermediate or liminal phase and another phase posliminal or subsequent ). The Liminality is directly related to the communitas since that is a manifestation of anti-estructura and anti-jerarquia of the society.
