This article starts from Mikhail Bakhtin's well-known essay on the Bildungsroman to confront his ideas about the representation, by this novelistic genre, of the formation of man, with Paul Ricoeur's concept of narrative identity. The French philosopher understands the narrative as the only possibility of constituting the subject's identity, which can be extended to the way in which the Bildungsroman, the novel of formation, seeks to show the constitution of the characters' character. The dialectic between sameness and ipseity explains the ways in which this genre configures itself as a narrative.
