Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Chapter 1. (Im)Mobilities and Liminalities -- Chapter 2.

Waiting as Liminal: Male Accompanying Partners in Switzerland and Beyond -- Conclusion. Liminal Moves -- References -- Index
Summary: Moving, slowing down, or watching others moving allows people to cross physical, symbolic, and temporal boundaries. Exploring the imaginative power of liminality that makes this possible, Liminal Moves looks at the (im)mobilities of three groups of people - street monkey performers in Japan, adolescents writing about migrants in Italy, and men accompanying their partners in Switzerland for work. The book explores how, for these ‘travelers’, the interplay of mobility and immobility creates a ‘liminal hotspot’: a condition of suspension and ambivalence as they find themselves caught between places, meanings and times.
