Abstract: | This exposition explores concepts of liminality, access, and means of expression using the divided island of Cyprus as a main case study for analysis and reflection. The exposition is structured in sections or liminal means of expression, which are punctuated, interrupted and / or interrogated by "normative" voices such as "historical facts", definitions, museum displays, etc. published by voices of authority or agency: Exploring the role of the 'self' and the 'other': Part 2, by Susan Brind and Jim Harold, reflects on the use of Travelling Colloquia and Nomadic Dialogues as methods to enable meaningful exchanges with people with local knowledge. This is exemplified by the CCFT Nicosia Colloquium, 2016; Timeless Encounters: 'Place of Barley', Agios Sozomenos, 2018; and the Buffer Fringe 2019, Nicosia, in addition to conversations in the space of the City. |

Additional Information: | The submitted exposition is an analysis of practice-led research undertaken by the authors in their roles as members of CCFT – Creative Centre for Fluid Territories – a peripatetic, international, inter-disciplinary research network whose research focuses on questions of place making, belonging and occupation. The article, "Exploring liminality in Cyprus: spaces, voices and means of expression", focuses on fieldwork undertaken in Cyprus and particularly the divided city of Nicosia, examining the UN de-militarised Buffer Zone as a liminal and peripheral space. The multi-layered, electronic format of the journal provides the ideal space(s) in which to juxtapose different approaches to practice-led enquiry, with theoretical influences and the multiple voices brought to the exploration of peripheral space. It allows them to be presented in a complex way that foregrounds visual research which is not normally possible in conventional academic journals. |
