Abstract

 

The present paper aims to address the differences between the classic Bildungsroman and the novel of female formation as several studies that have emerged since the 80s have pointed out. For this, the work of the Italian writer Daria Bignardi, Un karma pesante, will be analyzed, and special attention will be paid to narrative strategies that clearly challenge the traditional literary canon. These differences point to the representation of the process of formation of the subject and to more formal aspects of the discourse and thereby proposing new tools of analysis for a genre that subverts more traditional literary values.
