| 總結: | This research aims to carry out an analysis of the manifestation of unfinished identities in Young Adult narratives (henceforth YA). It also seeks to understand how these literary representations reflect and refract the contemporary youth identities categorized as liquid (BAUMAN, 2001), and transparent (HAN, 2017a). Therefore, based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the Bakhtin Circle, we investigated these issues in the novel Simon vs. the homo sapiens agenda (2016), by the North American author Becky Albertalli. In the narrative, Simon is a young gay man who interacts anonymously with another gay boy named Blue, and from this interaction his homoaffective identity begins to take shape, creating social conflict in a
society that is not very receptive to homosexuality, as well as other manifestations considered to be within the category of the grotesque. The term Young Adult was initially used by the editorial market to define all the works aimed at young audiences, and which emerged after the release of the Harry Potter series (1997). However, after the success of the novel, The fault in our stars (2012), the term was changed to include novels of fiction in which the main characters are teenagers in the process of forming their identities, including reflections and developments that involve their bodies, their sexuality, their races, and language attributes that
can be objects of social valuation. Situated within the field of Applied Linguistics, under a trans or indisciplinary perspective of addressing concrete discursive/social practices, this study adopts an Indicial Paradigm, and Dialogical Comparison frameworks, which assume a sociohistorical-dialogical orientation. In this light, the research presents the analysis of three main aspects of the novel in question: 1) how Young Adult operates as a genre; 2) the journey of the protagonist Simon, and the transformation of his identity along this heroic path; 3) the discursive traces that construct a grotesque being in the image of Simon’s identity. From this analysis, YA is perceived as a linguistic resource that is anchored in the multiple representations of contemporary youth. In addition, the unfinished behavior of Simon’s identity is evident, insofar as his condition as an embodied and homo-affective subject does not allow him to end his heroic journey, and he continuously remains in a process of conflict, ideologically, and with regard to his identity. Finally, the repulsion to his difference is evidenced as it is held as a monster to be punished or erased, constituting a refraction that goes from the world of life to
the world of culture. |
