The Liminality of Contemporary Culture

After these lines of Neo, a character in the semi virtual movie The Matrix, I went to my desk to write this paper. The reason is not far to seek. My mind was seeking the possibilities of such worlda world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world ...where anything is possible. I saw the modern cultural world as the world of immense possibilitieswith conflicts, assimilation and appropriation. A world which has commands, requests and at the same times this world is virtual too. This is the world of machines and humansthe world of cyborgs. A world of life and death, of ambivalence, of cultural identity crash, of hybridity, of doubtful convictions, in shortthe world of liminality.
