Bildungsroman: Coming of Age Narratives

updated: 
Wednesday, February 5, 2025 - 3:31am
Shiv Nadar University
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, February 21, 2025

“Youth is, so to speak, modernity's ‘essence’, the sign of a world that seeks its meaning in the future rather than in the past”, says Franco Moretti as he dissects the genre of bildungsroman. Youth, he decidedly notes, is  at the heart of the genre, owing to the mobility and interiority that it facilitates, and  its characterisation as dynamic and unstable, yet transient and impermanent. Critics such as Barbra Whitman trace the genre as far back as Homer’s Iliad (8th century BCE) and evolving to include an array of narratives and characters, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1623) to Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister (1795-95).

Monday, February 3, 2025 - 2:21pm
FRAME, Journal of Literary Studies

Friday, February 21, 2025

‘Body horror,’ a subgenre devoted to corporeal transgressions, is undergoing a rebirth with films like Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance (2024)—a cautionary tale challenging the beauty industry and the gendered double standards of ageing. This emerging biopolitical discourse concerned with body dysmorphia, loss of control, abjection, susceptibility to illness and mutation is not limited to film. From classics like Frankenstein to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Grand Guignol ghastly extends its arms to the literary sphere with emerging works like Mona Awad’s Rouge or Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation.
