Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Die vorming van die self : 'n vir meisies? Hierdie artikel beredeneer die stelling dat daar tussen omstreeks 1860 en 1960 twee alternatiewe vorme van die met jong protagoniste en gemik op meisies lesers ontwikkel het. Om hierdie stelling te toets, is die artikel eerstens gefokus op drie meisiereekse om vas te stel of hulle aan die klassifikasiekriteria van die Bildungsroman voldoen: die Suid-Afrikaanse Soekie-reeks, geskryf Afrikaans deur Ela Spence, die bekende Kanadese Anne of Green Gables-reeks deur L.M. Montgomery, en die Duitse Pucki-reeks deur Magda Trott. In hierdie reekse moet meisies uit hulle ervaringe leer hulle strewe na geluk en volwassenheid. Tweedens word die soeke en ontwikkelingsmoontlikhede as parallelle ondersoek, romans soos Louisa May Alcott se nou reeds klassieke Little women en Good wives. Daar is bevind dat sommige romans vir meisies neig om die persoonlike ontwikkeling van kindsbeen tot volwassenheid te ondersoek, maar dat die Bildungsroman-kriteria aangepas moet word om ander vorme te sluit buiten die enkelroman en die roman wat fokus op een protagonis. Laasgenoemde vorme is meer tipies van die manlike Bildungsroman. Daar word ook voorgestel dat die kriteria vir volwassenheid, self-aktualisering en sosiale integrasie die vroulike weergawe van hierdie genre gekwalifiseer behoort te word. This article proposes that two alternative forms of the Bildungsroman developed from circa 1860 to 1960, featuring young protagonists and aimed at girls a readership. To explore this proposition, the article initially focuses on three girls' series to see whether they meet the criteria for classification a Bildungsroman: the South African Soekie series written Afrikaans by Ela Spence, the well-known Canadian Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery, and the German Pucki series by Magda Trott. In these series girls have to learn through experience they move toward happiness and maturity. Secondly, the article explores the presentation of the quest, well some development options in parallel such novels Louisa May Alcott's now classic Little women and Good wives. The article concludes that some novels for girls move towards an exploration of personal development from childhood to maturity, but that the criteria for the Bildungsroman should be adjusted to include forms other than the single novels and novels focused on one protagonist that are more typical of the male Bildungsroman. It also suggests that the criteria for maturity, self-actualisation and social integration need qualification the female version of this genre.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
