Character development and rite of passage in the greek and byzantine novel

Bakhtin considers the Greek novel as a type of Prüfungsroman or novel of ordeal. This ordeal, of course, implies some kind of change in the characters, at least insofar they are conscious of having overcome the ordeal. However, Bakhtin underlines the statism, not the change, of these characters. Thi...

This ordeal, of course, implies some kind of change in the characters, at least insofar they are conscious of having overcome the ordeal. However, Bakhtin underlines the statism, not the change, of these characters. This contradiction is only apparent. Bakthin reserves the concept of change of character for a very specific kind of evolution, absent in the Greek novel. The characters of that novel, in the interpretation of Bakhtin, go through a more or less stereotyped rite of passage and ordeal, which implies a restricted evolution of character and not a change in the fullest sense of the word. This contribution will also aim to determine to what extent Bakhtin’s considerations are valid for the Byzantine novel (12th c.). Bajtín considera a la novela griega un tipo de Prüfungsroman o novela de prueba. Dicha prueba, desde luego, implica algún tipo de cambio en los personajes, como mínimo por la conciencia de haberla superado. Sin embargo, Bajtín subraya el estatismo, no el cambio, de dichos personajes. Esta contradicción, en realidad, es solo aparente. Bajtín reserva el concepto de cambio de carácter para un tipo específico de evolución, ausente de la novela griega. Los personajes de dicha novela, en la lectura de Bajtín, sufren una forma más o menos estereotipada de pasaje y puesta a prueba, que implica una evolución de carácter restringida y no un cambio en sentido pleno. Esta contribución intentará también precisar en qué medida las consideraciones de Bajtín son aplicables a la novela bizantina (s. XII). application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/12848 10.34096/afc.i35.12848 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/12848/11406 Derechos de autor 2023 Tomás Fernández Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 1 Núm. 35 (2022) 2362-4841 0325-1721 Bakhtin, Van Gennep, Greek Novel, Byzantine Novel, Makrembolites Bajtín, Van Gennep, novela griega, novela bizantina, Makrembolites Character development and rite of passage in the greek and byzantine novel Desarrollo de carácter y rito de pasaje en la novela griega y bizantina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=anafilog&d=12848_oai
