In what ways can you or I navigate the waters of social structure, if you will, vis-a-vis liminality, which the academic discipline of Anthropology (Victor Turner, et al., e.g. http://www.sjsu.edu/people/annapurna.pandey/courses/MSR122/s1/Victor%20Turner%20Liminality%20and%20Communitas.pdf) has examined in a variety of ways - online exclusively - with kinds of agency {intentional causation}, to explore the benefits of liminal states of being ("occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold"), if you will again, when and as you would like?
For example, if one found again and again a kind of communal bliss - a kind of communitas - in watching Grateful Dead shows online, and even dancing at home - and also found interactive GD communities in Google + Hangouts, for example - could one plan one's day around such liminal freedoms, day after day, even as one, at other times, earned a living online as perhaps an example of social structure which might be less enjoyable.
Are there related pragmatic benefits of enjoyment that Anthropological research might offer to people to explore and engage liminally vis-a-vis the social structures of modernity and the information age?
