This thesis probes the possibility of gender-balanced theories of the rite
of passage. The rite of passage makes individuals acquire specific identities
and be incorporated into the society. And the society maintains itself by
reproducing its members through the rite of passage. Scholars of anthropology
and religious studies such as Arnold van Gennep, Victor Turner, and
Mircea Eliade have variously theorized the rite of passage. However, can their
theories endure the test of gender problematics? To answer the question, I
examine three topics. First, the three-staged structures of the rite of passage
presented by van Gennep and Eliade. I also contrast them with Bruce
Lincoln’s unique three-staged structure of the rite of passage. Here, I elucidate both the positive and negative aspects of those structures. Second,
Turner’s concept of liminality and communitas. Following the criticism on
Turner by Caroline Walker Bynum, I point out the androcentrism in Turner’s
concepts. Third, I compare Eliade’s cosmological understanding of the sacred
in the rite of passage with Lincoln’s critical understanding of the socio-political
aspects of the rite of passage. Here, I show how Lincoln overcomes his
previous gender-neutral fallacy by parting from his mentor Eliade’s romanticism. As conclusions, I reaffirm why the theories of the rite of passage should be re-examined in the light of gender problematics and suggest the need to compare and analyze diverse rites of passage to rectify the classical theories.
