This sourceElaborates liminality and communitas (undifferentiated, intensely bonded collective identity) in the liminal phase of ritual — the mechanism the prime cites for transformative effervescent bonding (D28-003). Verified.

The publisher's description confirms Turner generalises Van Gennep's liminal phase and develops communitas, but does not carry the claim's 'spontaneous, egalitarian, intense bond' gloss.
“He extends Van Gennep's notion of the "liminal phase" of rites of passage to a more general level, and applies it to gain understanding of a wide range of social phenomena.”

Turner 1969's own chapter list pairs liminality with communitas (ch. 3-4) and status reversal (ch. 5); the page we hold does not state the definition or the productive relation.

This sourceDescribes communitas in liminality as a relatively undifferentiated bond that suspends ordinary status distinctions.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 3 of 7 citations: 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
