From Socrates to Jim Morrison, all the artists – which can be anyone who gains mastery over a public – in many ways have referred to a “passage” that gives access in/out of a community and can be followed through their art. This article tries to catch a glimpse of this “passage”: to understand how an artwork affects our living, in what ways we get involved with pop culture, how does pluralism come along in a solid community, and how people are put into motion in order to have all kinds of social mobility? At the early stages of western history, Socrates set the limits: “The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, I to die, and you to live. Which of these two is better only God knows” (Plato, 42a). Since then everyone sets out to break bounds!
