Abstract

V originále

In the vast field of the borders, the limes, subject to which the entire Leeds conference is devoted this year, the question of Christian initiation finds its place in an absolutely natural way. Indeed, it was precisely the metaphor of the crossing of the border that, already in 1909, used Arnold Van Gennep to define the three fundamental stages for the rites of passage. The Van Gennep's metaphor was in my opinion brilliant because it related three fundamental elements to our discipline: space, time and the human body. Hans Belting, almost a century later, in his Bildanthropologie, would have defined this body as a medium, an instrument that basically acts as a mediator to the perception of space and time that culminate in a limit, frontier passage.
