Passages, Margins, and Poverty: Religious Symbols of Communitas

Turner, Victor. "Passages, Margins, and Poverty: Religious Symbols of Communitas." Worship 46 (Aug.-Sept. 1972): 390-412; (Oct.): 432-94. Coll. as ch. 6 of Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors: Symbolic Action in Human Society. Ithaca, NY: Cornell UP, 1974.

Turner's discussion of structure vs. communitas ("community"), is significant for a study of clockwork societies: the rebels opposed to such machine-worlds are necessarily outsiders, "liminal" characters.
