Search for: [Abstract = "This article is an attempt to look at the issue of entering adulthood through two rites of passage\: the 18th birthday celebration and the \"matura\" examination. In the search for a theoretical conceptualization, the concepts of researchers such as Arnold van Genepp, Turner and Pierre Bourdieu are briefly discussed. The paper attempts to answer the following questions\: do contemporary rites of passage into adulthood fit into this type of activity\? Is it possible to find a theoretical construct for their description that goes beyond classical descriptions\? Are these rites of passage meaningful to the participants\?"]
