The Greek term metaxy, meaning “between”, serves as the conceptual axis around which the condition of liminality is explored as a generative threshold space where established categories—social, symbolic, epistemological—are destabilized, allowing for the emergence of new configurations of identity, perception, and collective experience, since during the liminal phase traditional structures dissolve, roles become ambiguous, and actors engage in a space that is neither past nor future but radically present, a moment of suspension in which creativity and transformation become not only possible but necessary, especially when applied to contexts of social rupture such as war, colonization, or systemic collapse, where entire societies inhabit liminal states marked by uncertainty, disorientation, and the potential for renewal, and where knowledge arises not from fixed systems but from the embodied and situated action of individuals who navigate the thresholds of meaning through rituals, performances, and encounters with alterity, as seen in the spectral figures of shamans, witches, and mediums who traverse ontological frontiers and whose presence signals that liminality is not merely a passage but a mode of being, a terrain of play and possibility in which the real and the imagined interact, producing a unique epistemology rooted in the now, in the porous zone where cognition is distributed between body, space, and relation, displacing binary distinctions and enabling a revaluation of failure, loss, and disappearance as moments of insight and transformation, suggesting that learning and social change occur precisely in those unstable zones that escape classification and invite continuous negotiation of meaning and form
