[Air-l] "Death" of a website

[Joao Vieira da Cunha]

Ben,

Thanks for the links. If you want to check the original (and to my 
knowledge) most complete formulation of spaces of liminality (in RL, not 
virtual space, though), check out:

Turner, V. (1977). The ritual process: Structure and anti-structure. 
Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.
