Abstract
This article introduces the special issue “Contemporary Narratives of Bildung: New Directions” by distinguishing “narratives of Bildung” from alternate terms such as Bildungsroman, or coming-of-age stories. It does so to recognize Bildung as the core element of a genre that is now widely found across media and to reflect the diversity of its present-day iterations. This introduction also traces the paradigm shifts (most prominently “critical multilingualism”) and the scholarly landmarks that have allowed for the increasingly thorough examination of the globalization and diversification of the Bildung genre over the past decades. It argues that, as they attend to the poetics of plurality and difference in their primary texts, the articles included in this special issue open up new ways of conceptualizing the intersections of Bildung and linguistic diversity, hybridity, mobility, inbetweenness, and feminist interventions. These new directions delineate emerging sub-genres that respond to the changing social demands and norms that shape contemporary narratives of Bildung.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
