'All these groups, for one reason or another, are loosened from the power structure of society because they are different, other. Such folks can easily see their fellow human beings as themselves. They have a sense of the naked unaccommodated human being, the 'communitas' person. Power structures tend to kill 'communitas'. It is the fact of liminality, its aside-ness, its below-ness, that produces and protects 'communitas'... The domination system cannot understand liminality. But the liminal desires the liminal, has to be out of the structure game, where it can have its ordinary people quality. There 'communitas' exists, just as grass wants to come up between the cracks.' (Publication abstract)
