What It Is
Liminal Creativity is Anne-Laure Le Cunff's essay on liminality: the unstable period after the old structure no longer fits and before the new one is fully legible. It treats that threshold not just as discomfort, but as a condition that can generate new ideas, identities, and operating patterns.
When To Use It
Use it when writing about the transition from pre-AI to post-AI work, how people operate when categories are collapsing, or why creative and strategic advantage often comes from moving inside uncertainty instead of waiting for cleaner consensus.
