This book explores contemporary transformations of the female Bildungsroman, showing that the intersection of the genre and gender brought to critical attention in the context of second wave feminism remains of equal importance in the era of postfeminism. The female Bildung narrative has acquired an important position in twentieth - and twenty-first century literature through its continuing depiction of female self-discovery and emancipation as a process of negotiating the traditional divisions of female and male roles in relation to the private and public spaces.

The Charm Buyers describes extraordinary beauty and turbulent change: Tahiti during the last years of French nuclear testing in the Pacific in the 1990s.Marc Antoine Chen, the troubled heir of black pearl cultivators, narrates his journey through a labyrinth of elusive truths. As a child, Marc lives in a dreamlike world with his great-grandmother A-tai and her stories of a semi-nomadic Hakka culture that no longer exists. The Hakka, originally brought from China to Tahiti to work in cotton in the nineteenth century, settled in communities throughout the South Pacific.On the verge of adulthood, Marc falls in love with the calm and confident Marie-Laure Li, but when she leaves to study in France, Marc drifts, becoming the lover of the enigmatic painter Aurore du Chatelet. Years later, Marie-Laure returns, suffering from a debilitating malady-one of many illnesses surfacing in the wake of nuclear testing-and Marc is offered a strange, magical proposal in exchange for the life of his once beloved.A supernatural, shamanic reality exists together with the traditions of the Hakka, set against the background of the French colonial past and the Ma'ohi struggle for independence. The Charm Buyers presents a world in transition and its people-black pearl cultivators, artists, taro farmers, politicians, smugglers, and shamans.

Un double intérêt pour les rapports musique/littérature et pour le concept de Bildung a déterminé la comparaison, dans le cadre de cet ouvrage, de dix romans de formation de langues française et allemande qui se répartissent symétriquement du milieu du XIXème siècle à nos jours: "Der arme Spielmann" de Franz Grillparzer et "Consuelo" de George Sand; "Gertrud" de Hermann Hesse et "Jean-Christophe" de Romain Rolland; "Doktor Faustus" de Thomas Mann et "La Pêche miraculeuse" de Guy de Pourtalès; "Der Untergeher" de Thomas Bernhard, "Porporino" de Dominique Fernandez, "Die Klavierspielerin" de Elfriede Jelinek et "Tous les matins du monde" de Pascal Quignard. Cette étude de synthèse tend à dégager, au regard d'oeuvres qui présentent une réelle densité 'musico-littéraire', l'évolution et la spécificité du 'roman de la formation musicale', catégorie littéraire qui est définie par référence aux notions allemandes de Bildungsroman et de Künstlerroman. La culture musicale de romanciers - dont la formation en ce domaine a servi pour certains de propédeutique à l'écriture - est en effet l'objet d'une transposition littéraire qui confronte le lecteur à la problématique fondamentale des rapports de la musique et du langage. La revendication du statut d''écrivain-musicien', à laquelle s'ajoute l'intertextualité particulière que crée dans ces romans le jeu des références et des citations musicales, invitent à réfléchir notamment au rapprochement analogique des structures musicales et des structures littéraires.
