The House and the Street as Topoi in Two Chicana Bildungsromane

Original language description

In his book on our attitudes to places, Yi-Fu Tuan says: "Places stay put. Their image is one of stability and permanence." (29) Certain places acquire a degree of literary permanence because they often figure in certain literary genres and they can thusbecome literary topoi. The genre of the Bildungsroman, although focusing primarily on changes in time, usually situates its protagonist in both a private place - a house - and a public space - the street. Using two 1980s American novels, Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street and Denise Chávez's The Last of the Menu Girls, the article attempts to analyze the role of houses and streets in the genre of the Bildungsroman and explains what makes them recurrent yet variable locations.
