    i think liminal spaces give off the same or similar emotions tied too that warmth you find in depression, when you go so deep in the dark that you can fully view the light.

      Though initially I dismissed your comment because I often feel deep and smothered by the darkness, unable to see the light. However, upon thinking about it a little, I can recall viewing life from the depth of depression, and feeling oddly adjacent to it. I could see life going on, but I felt remote from it. I couldn’t remember what it felt like to live like that but was sure it was probably normal, and that where I was, was probably not.

      Agreed. If you've struggled with depression for years, you sometimes happen to find a twisted sense of peace in your sadness, a sort of melancholic feeling that is oddly comforting and warm. It's so similar to what liminal spaces feel like.

    • @lulub517
      @lulub517 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I’m sort of half and half with that, but overall I do agree and think it’s much more personally impactful to be in an empty location with nothing around because being alone is more discomforting and yet also comforting at the same time.
      What makes certain liminal spaces unsettling for me is the lost aspect. You don’t know where you are or what you’re doing and will you ever get out? A monster entity thing would just kill you so quickly and it’d be over, where as if you were just wondering around forever… you’d be driven to insanity, and eventually die of thirst or starvation if you couldn’t find anything in time.

I cannot really say anything more, you’ve spoken my ideas and thoughts and I’ve nothing to add. Extremely well done, I love when people let go of the chains society and reality hold us to and look inward and also at the strangeness of the world and really look closely, theorize and hypothesize and simply study things in depth not just outside but inside. 👍🏻

    This reminds me of Stephen king's the Langoliers mini series.

    A chemical canvas (such a frame of 35mm film) provides the best foundation for capturing a liminal space (or the source thereof). A photographic print or transparency (developed from 35mm film) can be scanned and preserved digitally and edited as necessary (to be uploaded online). Film absorbs and disperses light and color in a way that parallels how our earliest memories are presented to us in imagination and reverie-something which cannot be replicated through solely digital media alone.

    Random thought I had while you were defining liminal spaces. I’m not accusing you of doing any of this. I just thought I’d share. I dislike the idea that the modern concept of a liminal space is somehow beholden to the Latin meaning of the word. People didn’t find liminal in the dictionary and then set out to find a space to fit that word. Instead, they found the space and then decided that word best describes the feeling they had when they looked at it. The Latin word is simply something we use to convey a feeling, not something that should be used to constrain or gate keep what is or isn’t a liminal space

    Liminal spaces were at their best before they were defined. Understanding and rationalizing the feeling of liminality brings comfort and removes the feeling that makes them interesting.

      Not at all, there's plenty of surface level videos on liminal spaces and liminality, this is a more robust dissection. As mentioned, people have been thinking about and researching these ideas for a long ass time, it takes more than "backrooms go brr" to build upon what other people have already said. It's fine if you're not into the deeper dive style but for people who care about this stuff and want to learn more going into this much detail is a great.

I know that this topic can be complex; however, It's not the reader's job to make sense of the text; it's the author's job to communicate clearly and directly.
      The people who call this pretentious don't just do it because they don't have the skills to interpret the deep philosophical meaning behind it, it's because no one wants to be spoken down to, and when you sound like a thesaurus explaining something that could have been explained in a couple words or less, it comes off that way and that's not the audience's fault.
