Conclusion 15 Works Cited 17 Appendix A Translation 18 Appendix B Source Text 30 3 Introduction In 2012, Irvine Welsh’s book Skagboys was published. This prequel of the cult classic Trainspotting completed the Trainspotting Trilogy, consisting of Trainspotting, Porno and Skagboys. It follows the characters Mark Renton, Simon ‘Sick Boy’ Williamson, Daniel ‘Spud’ Murphy and Frances Begbie in their journey from relatively innocent teenagers to young men addicted to heroin, who will do anything in the chase for their next shot. This group of friends, situated in the harbour city of Leith, consists of many different personalities. Mark Renton is the semi-intellectual one who leads a double life as a student at the university of Aberdeen where he hides from the problems created by society, his friends and his severely handicapped brother. Sick Boy uses his intellect and his charm to get what he wants, especially from the other sex. Spud is a naive man with a heart of gold who has been unlucky his entire life and always sees the good in other people. Begbie is a severely aggressive alcoholic who detests everything to do with drugs. Together they depict the victims of the drug scene that was booming in Edinburgh and of the society that had no place for people like them. -

I'm not gay but I'd marry Irvine WelshBy PearlyBakerIrvine Welsh is my favorite author of all time and I love how he continues to study even the most obscure characters from Trainspotting. This piece starts out so lovely and beautiful and full of hope that I was almost brought to tears by Jim's family life. I had no idea "Jim" was the ongoing tale of a character I absolutely hated from Skagboys and Trainspotting. But I loved him in this tale and so it was a tough transition for me to see him slip so easily back into complete sociopathy. Of course by the end I lost all hope for humanity and remembered that Dr. Cox was right in Scrubs when he said, "People aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

"Nice Work Sisters
From Trainspotting to Filth – Masculinity and Cultural Politics in Irvine Welsh's Writings Stefan Herbrechter Trinity and All Saints, College of the University of Leeds ________________________________________________________________________ Men still have everything to say about their sexuality. You still have everything to say about your sexuality: that's a challenge. (Alice Jardine and Hélène Cixous, in Chapman & Rutherford 1988: 21) This powerful challenge, I am going to argue, is taken up in Irvine Welsh's work. What turns this work itself into a challenge is that it combines the search for sexual identity with aspects of the wider contexts of contemporary cultural politics. It critically reflects the transition from Thatcherite to Blairite Britain. From Trainspotting to Filth, Welsh's texts have been gravitating from Scottish marginality to mainstream British culture and economic and cultural thirdwayism. This development is reflected and find its (displaced) articulation in the crisis of masculinity which has increasingly become the focus of his writings. Welsh writes about social exclusion and individualism; the local, national and global; neoliberal economy and the commodification of drugs; but maybe, above all, about the dissolution of patriarchy and the de(con)struction of masculinity, about the erosion of gender categories and the family. Welsh's male working-class and subcultural (anti)heroes have to come to terms with the social changes of their roles and their relationships to their "mates", partners and children. As individual subjects, they are portrayed in their psychotic world of self- destructive masculine sexuality and identity, and, as members of post-industrial society, in their parasitic and anachronistic position within contemporary "postfeminist" and "post-gender" culture. -

Accepted: 25/02/2017 How to cite this article: Rivera Izquierdo, Ángela. “Befriending the Other: Community and Male Camaraderie in Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting.” ES Review. Spanish Journal of English Studies 38 (2017): 89‒112. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24197/ersjes.38.2017.89-112 Abstract: Set in post-Thatcherite Scotland, critics generally agree that Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting (1993) mirrors the emergence of rampant individualism and the disintegration of working-class communities in the UK. To support this view, they consider the lack of a sense of fraternity in the group and the characters’ fear of intimacy as indicative of individualism. However, it is possible to see Welsh’s ‘trainspotters’ not as atomised individuals, but as members of an alternative communitarian assemblage, as theorised in continental, post- phenomenological philosophy. Using a masculinities approach, this paper proves that the characters’ emotional detachment is representative of homosocial interactions among men trying to adhere to idealised types of masculinity and that, therefore, cannot be restricted to their alleged individualistic character. Contrarily, the kind of male friendship that Welsh describes can be considered as a paradigmatic example of Jean-Luc Nancy’s conception of the inoperative community, characterized by transcendence and exposure to alterity. -
