Abstract: The second Graduate Conference organized by the PhD students in Literary, Linguistics and Comparative Studies at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale' (20-21 October 2016) has brought to the attention of young scholars and researchers a subject of great interest: the limen, understood as a margin, boundary, frontier, textual and metatextual threshold. The topic has been investigated in all the disciplinary horizons of the PhD programme, building a profound and constructive dialogue between different approaches. Moreover, it fits perfectly into the tradition of studies fostered at 'L'Orientale' and its cultural and political commitment: in a world where walls and barriers between civilizations and cultures are increasingly erected all over the world, we must strongly insist on the positive value of the limen as a point of contact and crossing, a laboratory where languages and forms of human expression meet with the purpose of creating something new.
