DEAR Kongja (Confucius): Liminality and/as the Feminist Strategy

A new analytical entanglement of transgression and liminality (a model lingering inbetween Turnerian anthropology of in-betweenness and Deleuzean dynamic “sedimentology”) is hereby proposed, with trangression and liminality seen and exemplified as the normal (even if not normalised) aspects of the ordinary gendered everydayness. “Nanopartitions” of the affective terrain and “nanoreunifications” with previously transgressed networks of affection (maps of belonging) are conceptualised and philosophised in order to shed light on the circular double move of everyday agency. Exemplification of the concepts and the display of possible analytical uses fully rely on findings from the author’s own ethnographic fieldwork regarding female adolescent agency within and beyond Neo-Confucian patriarchal regimes managing the broad field of social relations in South Korea.
