The text discusses the way of comprehension about the Bildungsroman, Art and human formation along the lines of German Bildung. Firstly, it brings up questions about the ways that modern rationality has been chosen with losses to Art as well as to other ways of knowledge. Secondly, and having in mind what is often said relatively to necessities of meaning production beyond to what is rational, we get to catch that literature can play a very important role to human formation. Although, we think that, at last, all literature is formative, we lean over an emblematic case: romances of formation, literary dimensions of self’s formation. As an exemplary literature case which describes portraying the subject’s formation, in the second part of the text, we bring an approach about Bildungsroman as an opportunity of rescuing between what was lost in Modernity relatively to a subjectivity that outcropped, besides science progress and technical advance. As conclusion, it’s said the necessary enphasis in formative processes which promote complete interests on human possibilities - of emancipation, among the mentioned possibilities.
