The Young Adult Dystopia as Bildungsroman: Formational Rebellions Against Simplicity in Westerfeld's Uglies and Roth's Divergent

Sharma, Elena 01 January 2014 (has links)
Young adult novels are undeniably popular and yet they are simultaneously dismissed as inconsequential or light – conventionally deemed low literature, these novels are generally not considered worthy to be discussed in the same spaces as the less popular, more traditional high literature. If a genre of young adult novels were given a place within literary history, it would not only legitimize these novels as more than guilty pleasures or the provinces of adolescent readers who will come to grow out of them, but it would also open up the possibility for other forms of literature to be similarly recognized as worth reading or thinking about. The Bildungsroman, also known as the “novel of formation” or the more colloquial “coming-of-age” novel, is a genre grounded in the traditions of multiple literary histories and is commonly understood to be high literature. Marianne Hirsch models the European Bildungsroman, which is useful for both American novels due to the predominance of European and particularly English canon. This paper is interested in determining how contemporary young adult dystopian novels, examined through the Scott Westerfeld's Uglies and Veronica Roth's Divergent, both work within and depart from the conventions of the traditional Bildungsroman.

Who Josie became next: developing narratives of ethnic identity formation in Italian Australian literature and film

Carniel, Jessica Rita Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
Using an expanded and adapted conception of the Bildungsroman (or novel of development or formation), this thesis examines representations of Italian Australian identities through an analysis of selected English-language literary and film narratives produced by individuals of Italian descent in Australia since World War II. It draws upon critiques of the genre of the traditional Bildungsroman to further contribute to the conceptualisation of a related genre, the ethnic bildungsroman. In applying an interdisciplinary approach, the thesis critically analyses the processes of ethnic identity formation in these Italian Australian narratives in various socio-historical and literary contexts, with particular reference to the intersection of gender and ethnicity. It is argued that not only can the development of individual protagonists’ identities be read in each text, but the narratives selected here chart the journeys of ethnic identification made by Italian Australian protagonists and the varying trends in their modes of identification. This study focuses upon a selection of fiction, biography and autobiography that narrates these identities. These narratives both directly and indirectly address experiences of being of Italian heritage in Australia at various times throughout the twentieth century. It argues that the narrative representation and, more importantly, the narrative self-representation of ethnic identities are integral parts of migration and settlement processes, as well as significant steps in opening up dialogues amongst and between various Australian identities.

The Coming of Age of a Woman : Proto-feminism and Female Bildung in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey

Landh, Therese January 2018 (has links)
This thesis examines the influence of the proto-feminist ideas of the Enlightenment on Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, specifically their presence in the coming-of-age journey of the novel’s heroine Catherine Morland. In this thesis, the proto-feminist ideas of the Enlightenment discussed are based on the ideas of Mary Wollstonecraft as presented in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. I focus on Wollstonecraft’s emphasis on the importance of reason for the emancipation of women as well as the role of virtue and modesty, but also on the existence of an ambivalent relationship between sense and sentiment. The aim of the thesis is to show that Catherine Morland’s coming-of-age journey in Northanger Abbey can be understood as a representation of the emancipation of women that Wollstonecraft hopes for, and that the obstacles standing in the way of Catherine’s maturation are parallel to the obstacles which, during the Enlightenment, prevented women from claiming reason for themselves. First, I draw upon Wollstonecraft’s criticism of sentimental fiction and its hampering effect on women’s minds and show that the same idea is present in the narrative of Northanger Abbey, in the shape of gothic fiction. Then, I show how Catherine’s ability to discern between virtuous and immodest behaviour improves drastically as she starts to exercise her reason, in concurrence with Wollstonecraft’s claim that all virtuous thought must stem from reason. I analyse the importance of Catherine’s choice of partner and its relationship to the proto-feminist critique of women’s inability to express ideas contrary to those of a man. Finally, I dissect the proto-feminist ambivalent relationship between sense and sentiment and connect it to the finale of Northanger Abbey. These elements put together all point toward Wollstonecraft and Austen being coextensive, and demonstrate how Austen makes use of Wollstonecraft’s ideas to promote the emergence of female bildung.

Divining for meaning and searching for a female literary identity in Alice Munros Lives of girls and women and Margaret Laurences The diviners / Divining for meaning and searching for a female literary identity in Alice Munros Lives of Girls and Women and Margaret Laurences The Diviners

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar como Alice Munro e Margaret Laurence se apropriam de gêneros canônicos, especificamente do Bildungsroman e do Künstlerroman, para subvertê-los e representar versões diferentes do sujeito feminino através de romances de cunho autobiográfico escritos por mulheres. A investigação é focada em dois romances: Lives of Girls and Women (1971), escrito por Alice Munro, e The Diviners (1974), escrito por Margaret Laurence. No romance de Alice Munro, as estratégias de apagamento das fronteiras entre gêneros, a ideia de que perspectivas de realidade mudam de acordo com a experiência e a memória de cada indivíduo, como também a ênfase no desenvolvimento da protagonista enquanto pessoa e escritora, são assuntos amplamente discutidos. No romance de Margaret Laurence, a ênfase no aspecto subjetivo da memória, a desconstrução de estereótipos de gênero e a renegociação da representação do sujeito feminino para o alcance de uma identidade feminina autônoma na vida e na arte são os principais assuntos investigados. Em vista disso, esta dissertação visa mostrar como a representação da identidade feminina é redefinida por duas escritoras canadenses que se apropriaram de discursos dominantes para subvertê-los e, então, reescreverem suas histórias / This dissertation aims at investigating how Alice Munro and Margaret Laurence appropriate canonical genres, specifically the Bildungsroman and the Künstlerroman, to subvert them and represent different versions of the female subject through autobiographical novels written by women. The investigation focuses on two novels: Lives of Girls and Women (1971), by Alice Munro, and The Diviners (1974), by Margaret Laurence. In Alice Munros novel, the strategies of the blurring of genres, the idea that reality perspectives change according to the experience and memory of each individual, as well as an emphasis on the development of the protagonist as an individual and as a writer are matters amply discussed. In Margaret Laurences novel, the emphasis on the subjective aspect of memory, the deconstruction of gender stereotypes and the renegotiation of the representation of the female subject to the achievement of an autonomous female identity in life and art are the main issues debated. This dissertation intends to show how the representation of the female identity is redefined by two Canadian writers who appropriated dominant discourses in order to subvert them and then, rewrite their histories

Observar-se-á, assim, os liames entre a ficção e a sua época, uma vez que esta encontra-se no contexto daquela, bem como a contribuição da memória no auto-conhecimento e no resgate da identidade. O estudo comparativo dos romances faz-nos, também, atentar para a circularidade da obra da autora, da recorrência de situações, objetos e personagens, mostrando a grande aproximação existente entre as protagonistas estudadas, parecendo-nos desdobramentos de uma mesma personalidade / This research has the goal to join, for a survey, the novels Ciranda de pedra, Verão no aquário, As meninas and As horas nuas, by Lygia Fagundes Telles, with the Bildungsroman, given the importance that social and family environments have in the education of the individual in those narratives. We will observe snares between fiction and its time, considering they are in the same context, also, in the role of characters, we will evaluate the contribution of memory´s action. The study about these novels also calls our attention to the writer´s work, to the repetition of situations, objects and characters, which show a great approach among the studied main characters; that seems to us like unrollings of the same identity

Entretanto, buscaremos aqui instaurar uma reflexão sobre a importância do romance de 1948, uma vez que o próprio Moravia, em uma entrevista concedida a Alain Elkann, que compõe a biografia La vita di Moravia, declara que, como crítico de si mesmo, considerava La disubbidienza uma de suas melhores obras (ELKANN, 1990, p. 176). Dito isto, buscaremos contextualizar esse romance, além de oferecer uma leitura interpretativa do mesmo, a partir da análise de suas veredas, principalmente destacando as características que inserem a obra no gênero literário Romance de Formação, o Bildungsroman. / Close to the seventy-year anniversary of its publication, La Disubbidienza, the sixth novel out of more than thirty books published throughout his career, Italian writer Alberto Moravia, remains somewhat overshadowed by the success of other successful books: Gli Indifferenti (1929) obtained unprecedented recognition and repercussion; La romana (1947), Il conformista (1951), Il disprezzo (1954), La ciociara (1957), La noia (1960), among others, are tirelessly cited as representative works that raise interest in academic research. However, we will try to do some thinking about the importance of the 1948 novel, since Moravia himself, on an interview with Alain Elkann, who writes the biography La vita di Moravia, states that, as a critic of himself, considered La Disubbidienza one of his best works (ELKANN, 1990, p.176). Thus, we will attempt to contextualize this novel, besides offering a comprehensive reading analyzing its paths, mainly highlighting features that place this work in the literary genre Novel of Formation, the Bildungsroman.
