Abstract
Abstract The essay addresses Victor Turner′s radical approach to the study of ritual and in particular the creative and generative potential of liminal processes. Two objectives guide the analysis. The first is to develop an approach that is not over-constrained by the dramatic or theatrical metaphor of performance that dominates much discussion of ritual. The second is to reorient an approach to the liminal as a stage in a process in itself and to explore it in terms of the concept of the virtual. In other words, the liminal as thoroughly an opening of potential and innovative emergence, a major direction of Turner′s approach.
