Liminality and the practices of identity reconstruction
提出了阈限性（一种介于两者之间和模糊的状态）的概念化，用于理解组织中人们的身份重构，并通过两个案例加以说明。
The purpose of this article is to contribute a conceptualization of liminality, a state of in-between-ness and ambiguity, as it applies to identity reconstruction of people in organizations. Liminality is discussed in anthropological and organizational literatures and a composite understanding is developed here. This incorporates a dialogical perspective and defines liminal practices along with varying orientations of dialogue between the self and others. Application of this conceptualization is illustrated by analysis of two cases and a broader application of the concept to the identity work literature is discussed.
