This period is character- ized by separation from society, ambiguity, danger, power, and communitas, a strong social bond between initiates that is later integrated into one’s new position in society. Turner briefly mentions the liminality of ‘holy beggars’ and ‘simpletons’ but this con- nection has rarely received more than a passing remark in existing literature. This paper will analyze Leontius of Neapolis’ seventh-century The Life of Symeon the Fool in the light of liminality and will argue such a concept is ideal for interpreting the life of Symeon and similar holy fools. Symeon uses his liminality to blur the lines between desert and city, and cruelty and compassion, thus critiquing traditional asceticism and hypocritical forms of compassion. He also offers lessons on the nature of criticism itself by showing that critique often involves both the reaffirmation and challenging of existing social structures. His lifelong liminality exposes the difficulty of judging others based on their appearances and directs this lesson to his audience on and off the page. The connection between holy fools and liminality has been hinted at in the past but has never received any significant analysis. In The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-structure, Victor Turner briefly mentions the liminality of ‘holy beggars’ and ‘simpletons’ but says little else about them specifically.1 The three stages of rites of passage – separation, limen or boundary, and rein- corporation – were introduced by Arnold van Gennep2 in 1909 and subse- quently further developed by Victor Turner beginning in the late 1960s. Together, these three stages form the process whereby an individual or group enters a new phase in life, social stratum, or state of being. According to this schema, a significant change in status is usually preceded by a period of isola- tion from the social structure before reincorporation. Often this liminal period is characterized by ambiguity, a lack of status, symbolic death, an absence of social obligations, foreignness, disguises, nakedness, poverty, etc. This middle 1 Victor W.

JOHNSON stage also has a ‘prophylactic function’3 in controlling the abuse of authority by creating communitas, an intense personal bond formed between initiates during liminal periods and later brought to bear on their new roles once rein- corporated into society. This paper will explore how the concept of liminality can be fruitfully applied to holy foolishness as it is depicted in The Life of Symeon the Fool and will argue that Symeon can be described as a liminal figure par excellence.4 This feature can be seen in many aspects of his life but the present paper will focus on its presence in his critiques of 1) traditional forms of asceticism and 2) hypocritical forms of compassion. These issues lead to a more general reflection on the nature of criticism itself. Symeon’s example teaches that criticism, which has a central role in liminality, requires one to both challenge and reaffirm elements of a given system. A second les- son concerns the socially transformative power of deceptive appearances in perceptions of holiness. These lessons for his audience both on and off the page can be described as the ‘pedagogics of liminality’, borrowing a phrase from Victor Turner.5 The Life of Symeon the Fool is the vita of a sixth century Syrian saint likely written in the mid-seventh century by Leontius, a prominent Byzantine hagi- ographer and Bishop of Neapolis in Cyprus.6 Leontius begins his story with an extended prologue that alerts the reader to Symeon’s holiness by revealing the true motivations behind his scandalous behavior: saving others while con- cealing his true sanctity. Early in the narrative, young Symeon leaves his family for life in a monastery with his friend John, then after only two days the boys leave the monastery for the anchoritic life in the desert. After purify- ing and perfecting himself there with twenty-nine years of ascetic effort, Symeon returns alone to the city to save others and ‘mock the world’ under the cover of foolishness in order to avoid praise and preserve humility.7 We are told that his friend John is not strong enough to bear the temptations of the city and remains in the desert. Before he begins his career as a public fool Symeon prays ‘that his works might be hidden until his departure from life, so that he might escape human glory’ and requests a ‘veil over the hearts of 3 V. Turner, Ritual Process (1969), 102. 4 For several noteworthy studies of holy foolishness, see Derek Krueger, Symeon the Holy Fool: Leontius’s Life and the Late Antique City (Berkeley, 1996); Peter C. Bouteneff, ‘What Kind of Fool Am I: Further Gleanings from Holy Folly’, in John Behr et al. (eds), Abba: The Tradition of Orthodoxy in the West (Crestwood, 2003), 335-49; Sergey A. Ivanov, Holy Fools in Byzantium and Beyond (Oxford, 2006); Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, ‘The Fool in Christ as Prophet and Apostle’, in The Inner Kingdom: Volume I of the Collected Works (Crestwood, 2000), 153-80; Christos Yannaras, The Freedom of Morality (Crestwood, NY, 1984). 5 V. Turner, Ritual Process (1969), 105. 6 Krueger’s monograph contains a fairly detailed account of Leontius and his context, while a translation of Symeon’s vita into English can be found as an appendix in the same volume. See D. Krueger, Symeon (1996), 131-71. 7 Ibid. 148. Symeon of Emesa and the ‘Pedagogics of Liminality’ 263 those who saw the things he did’.8 Symeon often enforces this veil by literally silencing witnesses to his miracles until after his death, when his sanctity is finally recognized by all. While living in Emesa, Symeon’s liminality con- stantly challenges socio-religious distinctions between public and private, sanity and madness, and holiness and impurity. Though firmly based in the basic values and assumptions of traditional Christian asceticism, Symeon’s model of ascetic life in the city challenges the standard of ascetic renunciation removed from society. Solitary and communal monastic life were recognized in Leontius’ time as the pinnacles of Christian devotion. The heights of holiness were especially accessible when one was perched atop the pillar of monastic life. Symeon seems to reinforce this trope at first. By renouncing public life and then the common monastic life, Symeon offers two fairly standard critiques. There appears to be a vocational ladder that Symeon is ascending towards ever-higher forms of life less distracting to his zeal for unbroken focus on God. If Symeon had ended his course in the desert, his story would not be unusual since this would reaffirm the preemi- nence of solitary asceticism. Instead, once he conquers the demons of the desert and reaches a state of freedom from passions, Symeon moves on to bat- tle the demons of hypocrisy and pride in the city of Emesa. As he enters Emesa, Symeon affects what appears to be a reverse renunciation. After renouncing the pleasures of life in the world, the last things that Symeon can renounce are his physical solitude and the respected social status of a holy man. Just as zealous Egyptian and Palestinian Christians responded to the growing social legitimacy of Christianity in the fourth century by dropping out of society and entering the desert, when the cloister and desert become too respectable, Symeon abandons them for a life of unconventional asceticism in the city. Symeon gives his primary justification for leaving the desert as saving the souls of others. He claims that solitaries are only saving themselves and this would seem to invert the usual vocational hierarchy. Yet, what is a critique of traditional asceticism also turns out to be its validation. Leontius makes it abundantly clear that Symeon would not have had the spiritual strength to help others in Emesa if he had not been disciplined and purified in the desert.9 Also, while his friend John stays in the desert because he lacks the spiritual strength and stature of Symeon, he is still regarded as a holy man by virtue of his soli- tary ascetic struggle. Symeon’s life is a critique of traditional asceticism that also reaffirms its value as a necessary means to an end: the freedom from pas- sions that should lead one to deeper compassion for others. Asceticism, apa- theia, and public acts of piety are shown to be instrumental in the spiritual life but potentially dangerous when not accompanied by humility and compassion. Symeon brings his holiness into the city to offer it to others for their betterment 8 Ibid. 150. 9 Ibid. 133, 159. 264 C. JOHNSON and salvation, despite the spiritual danger involved. To thwart this danger he disguises his holiness with foolishness. While critiquing certain understandings of monastic life, Leontius reaffirms the importance of monasticism in Syme- on’s vocational preparation and its rightful place as a revered Christian life- style. The critique and validation of traditional forms of asceticism is one important way in which Symeon is liminal. Fundamentally, this critique shows that the ethical expectations should be the same for life in the desert and in the city, calling into question the very distinction of desert and city. In many episodes in his Life, Symeon performs what is essentially a com- passionate act using cruel methods. One may often wonder if he could not have achieved the same aims in a less painful way. Symeon is willing to cause short-term annoyance, embarrassment, discomfort, and even pain to edify and save his audience in the long run. He is compassionate, but he also acts out of self-interest to preserve his anonymous holiness. Symeon’s compassionate miracle-working helps others, but his trickery follows one of the story’s con- cluding maxims: ‘Attend to yourself alone’.10 The insistence on being unrec- ognized as a saint forces him to perform compassionate acts in such a way as to appear cruel and cause his audience to sin by passing judgment or abusing him. This is why holy fools sometimes pray that they do not lead others to sin. Yet, they continue to pursue their vocation despite this risk. Symeon’s behav- ior blends compassion with apparent cruelty and self-interest. This makes him difficult to categorize for the reader, and much more so for the audience in his story. His blend of compassion and aggression extends to Emesan society as a whole and Leontius’ account seems to suggest it is meant for the reader and his or her own society as well. The reader can struggle to see the compassion in some of Symeon’s acts despite repeated explanations and clarifications by the author. In short, Symeon’s cruel compassion inspires an ambivalence in both his fellow Emesans and his readers that reflects his general ambiguity and liminality. Symeon denounces forms of compassion that are hypocritical or sycophantic and shows that it is possible to act in a compassionate way for the wrong reasons. Symeon also blurs the line between self-interest and concern for others when protecting his cover by any means necessary. He makes the point that one should be perfect before criticizing others and this depends on prioritizing one’s own spiritual interests. At first glance, Symeon would seem to be a perfect example of permanent liminality. But is he? Is he reincorporated into the social order, and, if so, when? Symeon is transformed and purified of passions while in the desert but maintains this liminal state when entering Emesa in order to transform the society. By entering the city, Symeon brings into sharp contrast the ideal communitas of the desert with the harsh realities of Emesa. While he is later attributed pious intentions that underlie his seemingly impious actions, in the narrative Symeon is liminal since almost no one is able to determine his true 10 Ibid. 171.

He lives in the city but is not of the city and remains an outsider until the Emesans recognize him as holy after his death. He is not only a stranger geo- graphically, but also spiritually, since he is portrayed as being unlike the rest of the population in his concealed perfection. Symeon’s resistance to being considered holy is a form of delayed reincorporation, in which Symeon extends his liminal state until he is no longer alive to protest canonization. Symeon is only posthumously reincorporated in the narrative when he is recognized as indisputably holy by the community and when Leontius presents his life as an edifying subject for a hagiography. Yet, the very term holy fool itself suggests that Symeon’s foolishness and trickery has finally been sanctioned, reincorpo- rating him as a figure to be revered if not emulated. Some recent scholars have suggested Victor Turner overemphasized the revolutionary, unstructured nature of liminality and neglected the power rela- tions inevitably at work in the concept.11 In this debate, Symeon is instructive. To what degree does Symeon challenge social structures and to what degree does he reaffirm them? In nearly all existing studies, the word ‘challenge’ is used to describe the social role and impact of holy fools.12 Holy fools are said to challenge existing values and common sense; yet, many of the same accounts also insist that these characters are not heretics, reformers, or schis- matics. How can holy fools both invert and reinforce values? As presented by Leontius, Symeon is both truly scandalous and threatening to society, and con- servative in attempting to preserve traditional Christian ascetic values, though in disguised form. There are elements of both social preservation and social transformation at work and in this he is also liminal. Symeon’s role is not to undermine the social order but to reform it according to its own standards by confronting it with its hypocrisy in the face of what it finds threatening.13 He is destructive but not completely destructive: he destroys social pretensions and religious respectability, but not the underlying criteria by which a society is judged. Foolishness, madness, and trickery are deployed to promote the Christian worldview of a society while critiquing its failure to live up to its standards. Symeon is revolutionary, but in the sense of turning back to existing values and reforming society on their basis rather than promoting a radical break with the past. In short, Symeon is both critic and caretaker and suggests that these two roles go hand-in-hand. The various elements of Symeon’s life that I have called liminal, such as the ambiguity between desert and city, compassion and cruelty, and critique and 11 Graham St John, Victor Turner and Contemporary Cultural Performance (New York, 2008), 14-7. 12 The word ‘challenge’ has been used in several aforementioned works, such as C. Yannaras, Freedom (1984), 125; K. Ware, ‘The Fool’ (2000), 168; and P. Bouteneff (2003), 346. 13 On this issue I disagree with Ivanov, who categorically claims the holy fool is not a reformer. See S. Ivanov, Holy Fools (2006), 9. 266 C. JOHNSON caretaking, ultimately show that these can be false or deceptively simple dis- tinctions. By bringing the liminality of the desert into the city, Symeon shows that physical withdrawal from the world is only a means to freedom from pas- sions that should lead to greater compassion for the world. By his superficially cruel and self-serving acts of compassion, he rejects any compassion that is based on seeking praise or ignoring one’s own shortcomings. By his construc- tive criticism, he affirms that the social gadfly and deviant can also be socie- ty’s most ardent protector and sustainer. As a preeminently liminal figure, Symeon affirms a communitas where even those who act like fools and demo- niacs are loved and valued as persons and are potentially saints. In his liminal- ity, Symeon himself lies between boundaries but he also highlights the limita- tions of others and of society itself. Symeon critiques society from where it is most problematic and thus most vulnerable: at its margins. Postponing his reincorporation into society until after his last breath, Symeon is an example of near-permanent liminality that brings the communitas of the desert back into the city in order to transform it. Ultimately, Symeon and Leontius’ most lasting lesson is that one cannot know the heart of another, including those whose actions and lifestyles are deemed sinful. In other words, there can be a disconnect between appearances and reality in the realm of holiness. When acted upon, this sense of communitas can prevent his audience from dismiss- ing those who are marginal as spiritually or socially irrelevant. After becoming familiar with the story of Symeon, one cannot help but look at the homeless and mentally ill in a new light. In Symeon’s words, they are often ‘people made as pure as sun through their patience and distress’ and ‘purer than gold on account of their innocence and simplicity’.14 One should certainly add fool- ishness to this description since Symeon shows that behind every apparent act of foolishness always lies the possibility of hidden holiness. 14 D.
