Liminal Commons: Modern Rituals of Transition i. Varvarousis**

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Explore the vital role of temporary commoning experiences in times of crisis with 'Liminal Commons: Modern Rituals of Transition in Greece'. This insightful book by Angelos Varvarousis delves into the concept of 'liminal commons' – short-lived yet crucial spaces that facilitate individual, collective, and societal transitions. Through an in-depth examination of grassroots projects in crisis-ridden Greece, such as occupied squares, self-organized refugee camps, solidarity food structures, and social clinics, Varvarousis reveals how humans still create collectively performed rituals to symbolize and practically explore the possibility of transformation. In an era where traditional rites of passage have diminished, 'Liminal Commons' offers a compelling argument for their importance in fostering awareness and control over individual, collective, and societal emancipation. This 224-page paperback is essential reading for anyone interested in urban planning, activism, and social change.
