From bildungsroman to youth studies, an analysis of Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter, write by Mario Vargas Llosa

Abstract

In literature, there aren't a few examples of novels where the main  character travels his or her world, from a young age to an adult life, searching for the experience that consolidates their identity, so much so that, there is a particular literary genre to understand this type of work, named Bildungsroman. However, it is critical to take this analysis to a new level, proposing other categories from a social science perspective  and specifically youth studies in order to help understand the journey young people go through to find their identity and insert themselves in society. This article discusses the novel  Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter, written by Mario Vargas.
