“You’ll go out there as boys and come back as men:” Masculinities and Rites of Passage in Peter May’s The Blackhouse
Original language description
This chapter traces the rites of passage depicted in Peter May’s 2009 novel The Blackhouse and analyzes how these rites, involuntarily undergone by the male characters, often fail, resulting in the construction of various adult/masculine identities. For the descriptions and theories of rites of passage, the chapter relies on the work of anthropologist Arnold van Gennep and Ronald L. Grimes, founder of the interdisciplinary field of ritual studies. The aim of this chapter is to observe the negative impacts of poorly organized rites of passage in the novel and relate them to Carole Jones’s observations on the changes in the depiction of masculinities in Scottish fiction dur-ing the last forty years as outlined in her Disappearing Men (2009) and later works.
