Full textBelonging, we argue, does not mean to be included in clear-cut categories, as if communities were enclosed by a symbolic boundary that reproduces reification and exclusion. On the contrary, belonging is an on-going process open to the relation. When we enter a relationship with alterity, the certainties of our world shake, clear-cut categories and identities are suspended, and we question our own position. We are not inside or outside the boundary, but in an ambiguous space between borders -we inhabit the boundary, we find ourselves in a liminal moment of ontological transformation. Thinking 'belonging' from within liminality allows us to understand how heterogeneous entities can nevertheless attach together and belong to each other.
Each chapter of the thesis tests differently the empirical productivity of these ideas. Firstly, the thesis presents some of the transformations that the author suffers, on relating to the community offering hospitality. Moved by something other than herself, the ethnographer emerges out of this encounter as a new position partially connected to the old one: partly the same, partly different. Thus, self-other relations involve a vector of movement, of exile, of expropriation typical of liminal situations.
Next, the structure, functioning, rituals and institutional character of a scientific group in the context of Spanish University are analysed. The work describes the progressive constitution of scientists as competent members of their labs, the development of their careers from students to leaders. We also discuss the ambiguous role that the latter play when looking for funding for the group, developing an heterogeneous activity in which the boundary between 'science' and 'politics' blurs. Likewise, we show how scientists in this country try to overcome some limitiations of Spanish science (for instance, low budget) through collaborations and other original strategies, in order to assure their belonging to European and international science.
In an attempt to extend the notion of relationality to materials, the thesis approaches how scientists connect and articulate the diverse results which different groups achieve locally, so as to construct collectively a common universe. To this aim, and observing some collaborative work between laboratories, we will analyse how a protein is articulated and engineered into being.
The thesis also deals with several tensions that cross the IBB and its knowledge production, such as those between national science and international science, market and gift economy, exchange and collaboration, territorialisation and deterritorialisation, virtuality and actuality, stability and mobility. These tensions are examined not to create antagonisms or reify dichotomies, but to show how the IBB is constituted precisely in the creative, moving field defined by all of them, as a complicated assemblage that brings together parts which do not quite fit. To describe the work of constitution of such an assemblage, we inquire into the notions of exchange, mediation and movement, as well as into their bonding characteristics. At last, the conclusion will try to summarise and blend the different concerns that are elaborated in the whole work.

Full textThe present study sought to examine institutional and personal factors that affect the sense of belonging of adult immigrant English-learners in a community college. Specifically, this qualitative study analyzed the lived experiences of twenty-one adult English-learners currently enrolled in a large California community college. Language and Critical Race theory was used a theoretical lens to help understand how language proficiency, instructional policies and practices and social factors affect the extent to which this population feels included and as part of the greater campus community. The study found that proficiency in English was the most salient factor in both enhancing the level of connectedness to campus life and hindrance in accessing linguistic and academic resources. Also, the study revealed that the most effective approach to fostering a greater sense of belonging for adult English-learners was providing high-touch experiences through a robust peer mentorship program. Thus, the findings suggest institutionalizing targeted student support services and professional development that will assist educational practitioners to better support adult English-learners to college completion.

Full textAbstract ART AS NEURONARRATIVE IN LIMINAL EXPERIENCE Brenda Elliott Saybrook University This study used arts-based and narrative inquiry to explore how artists express subjectively felt liminal experience in the process of art-making. The term liminal comes from the Latin limen, meaning threshold, and can be defined as an in-between, limbo, or suspension between two more relatively stable states in persons, places, or things. Transition through the liminal state contains the potential of change. Although the process of change within the human experience has been widely studied, the mechanisms of change, the means by which change occurs, has received relatively little attention. Fourteen artists were interviewed about their use of art as a means to deal with what they have felt to be liminal experiences. Interviews included direct observation of the artwork, descriptions of the art process, reports of subjective experience of art-making, the artist's writing and journaling of the art process, and the context of the art-making within the life of the participant. The interviewed focused on two main topics: 1. The artist's subjective descriptions of the liminal experience, including his or her major concerns throughout the experience; 2. The artist's description of how he or she dealt with the experience of liminality through art-making and attempted to resolve those concerns. The comparative analysis technique of grounded theory was used to generate conceptual categories and their properties from evidence provided directly from interview data, to generate a basic social psychological process. For the artists interviewed, meaningful and satisfying self-creation was archived in their art process. Anticipatory platforming, the beginning of creation of renewed identity, emerged as a basic social psychological process. Anticipatory platforming finds its place within autopoeisis, the principle of self-generation of an organism as demonstrated in dynamical systems. The concept of anticipatory platforming may prove significant for psychotherapists who are challenged to find ways to support people dealing with change and uncertainty in an increasingly stressful world. It is proposed that an affectively attuned and body-based anticipatory platform facilitates a framework for a transformed self, through which the threshold of change is supported.

Full textThis dissertation employs a hermeneutic methodology and a Jungian lens to examine the idea of golf as occupying liminal space. In anthropology, liminality is the transformative space in rites of initiation. In depth psychology psychic transformation occurs in liminal space. This study extends the concept to five loci of liminality: geography, history, the evolution of consciousness, body consciousness, and the creation of knowledge in the hermeneutic circle. The research explores various texts addressing the evolution of individual and collective consciousness, Jungian and somatic psychology, play, numinosity, and writings about golf, applying their perspectives to the author’s personal experiences playing the game as well as to the origin of the game itself. In addition, four of the author’s dreams with a golf motif are analyzed. Because golf follows a directional path and possesses teleological momentum, it is seen as a symbol of the psychological development process that C. G. Jung called individuation, both individually and in the collective. The experience of the numinous “perfect swing” is described and distinguished from flow, peak experience, and peak performance— primarily because of its generation by connection to unconscious archetypal energy. The work considers golf symbolically, and adds to the relatively sparse literature applying depth psychology to sports. The examination of the metaphorical character of play adds to the understanding of that topic in depth psychology as opposed to the objectified, scientific treatment more commonly applied to that subject in the academy.

THT emerged in the 1890s as an organotherapy, or a medicine made from animal organs. Like other organotherapies, general physicians used THT for a wide variety of ailments that had not been scientifically proven through the practices of vivisection or animal experimentation. From its emergence, THT served as a site of tension between scientific researchers and general practitioners. This tension only increased when a synthetic form of THT was invented in the 1920s, when scientific researchers embraced synthetic THT and general practitioners continued using desiccated THT. At the center of the controversy were the productive and subversive relationships of animals and women to biomedical meaning-making. Over the twentieth century, methods of defining THTâ s effectiveness and purity were defined in opposition to these bodies. These chemical measures combined the specialist and physicianâ s measurement of THTâ s clinical effectiveness, which led to a preference for synthetic THT.

Full textAbstract of Dissertation Where a person is situated in space and time determines the way an artwork is perceived. The result of this experience implies a relationship between the viewer and the artwork, thereby creating a liminal space. The terms liminal space and nonduality in this paper refer to the threshold, or in-between space that both separates and unites two opposing forces, creating a unique place that transcends memory and time. An artwork can serve as a mediatory object between artist and viewer because with each encounter, a unique meeting occurs. Thus, the meeting of audience and art object is transitory, ephemeral and temporal by nature and will be discussed in relation to the artwork as a vehicle to foster a subjective perception. Using my ancestral memories as a starting point, I refer to the art object as a means to explore time as a cross section of experience. Like dreams, where time is non-linear and memories exist side by side, I refer to the nondual space that exists between artist, artwork and audience as an opportunity to access an intuitive reaction to perception. The yearning to represent subjective space stems from my desire to understand perception and the brain. By presenting an overview of approaches from art history and contemporary art, this paper will discuss the various philosophical approaches that have been employed to represent space and time. I emphasise the ability of visual art to record the multifarious nature of experience, and the ability of the picture plane as a means to employ illusory and abstract space simultaneously. I have approached the research of time, memory and space through the lens of my own ancestry, which is essentially a combination of eastern and western in origin. Through this model I explore the tendencies throughout art history to depict space and time and the influences that culture and science have had upon the visual arts. My own paintings, and the work of Louise Bourgeois, Amy Cutler and Mamma Andersson are discussed with the intention of describing how the subjectivity of space can be expressed through a method that embraces the theories of nonduality and liminal space. Between the junction of east/west and abstract/illusory space, lies a point of union that I will refer to as ‘transcendent space’. By existing in the nondual, access is granted into a field that transcends the ‘either/or’ and allows access into a temporal space that permeates all experience. Studio work The studio component of the MVA will comprise of a series of paintings and an installation entitled, Only the memories are new. The paintings are of small scale and play with depictions of flatness and illusion. I have referenced Arabic miniatures as a means to employ a vertical perspective, whilst the inclusion of windows and doorways imply an opening to the nondual and the liminal. For the installation, components of the paintings come to life and occupy a space that invites the viewers’ participation. The installation presents an environment that asks the viewer to navigate the space that they occupy by way of memory and time.
