520 |a "Frontier" is included in the general category of "limit" (limes: a road bordering a field). But what is at the origin of limit, frontier? An authority, a power that can exercise "the social function of ritual and social significance of the line, the limit whose ritual legitimizes passage, transgression" (Bourdieu, 1982, p. 121). The limit, a traced line, sets up an order that is not only spatial but temporal, since it not only separates a "this side" from a "that side" but also a "before" and an "after". This dual nature of the limit is at work in the myth of the founding of Rome. Any limit, any frontier, is intentional: it proceeds from a will; it is never arbitrary. Its legitimacy was originally established by a religious ritual and later, by a political procedure.
