Abstract

The double concept of passing and transformation can explain the frequenting of shelters with schematic paintings: passing through the sites with exceptional characteristics and social change of individual who frequent these places. We rely the A. Van Gennep’s tripartite system (separation, liminarity, association) concerning the translation rites to demonstrate the importance of spatial and material analysis about the decorated sites. For some of these sites the cloistering devices prove that the liminarity is the great time of transition rites: the moment where the individual is in another status and space.
