Jeff Sellazzo- liminality in cold fever

The business man from Cold Fever travels across Iceland to commemorate the life of his parents. Along the way he experiences Victor Turner's idea of liminality. his journey takes him across a very foreign landscape and through a culture far different than the one in his home country. This forces him to break free of his past held ideas of societal position. he is used to being a prim proper business man but the liminal state he enters takes him to a local icelandic cowboy bar. There he feels communitas and ends up befriending a local. If he was in his normal society he would have overlooked this man as a lesser person. But because of his liminality he was able to see this man as a friend.
