This dissertation explores the difficulties and promises of migrant Bildung. My fundamental postulates are that the migrant situation, due to disruption in language and culture, tends to amplify the human's potentiality for negative affects and highlight the foreign nature of language and culture in relation to human existence. Addressing affects, words, and their interplay, my study of migrant unbecoming tracks the negativity, fictitiousness, ineffability, and infinity of human learning in the context of culture-crossing.

520 $a This dissertation explores the difficulties and promises of migrant Bildung. My fundamental postulates are that the migrant situation, due to disruption in language and culture, tends to amplify the human's potentiality for negative affects and highlight the foreign nature of language and culture in relation to human existence. Addressing affects, words, and their interplay, my study of migrant unbecoming tracks the negativity, fictitiousness, ineffability, and infinity of human learning in the context of culture-crossing.
520 $a This psychoanalytic literary study of the migrant's 'unspeakable' or 'novel' process of unbecoming is built upon both British object relations theory that emphasizes the impact of early human emotional states such as anxiety and fear, and French psychoanalytic theory that foregrounds the impact of culture on the formation of human desire. It reads migrant novels of development as representations of the emotional constellations of the migrant authors' alter ego, and examines how the fictional characters' intriguing interior landscapes are constructed. It explores the distinct and yet overlapping roles that cultural system (the Symbolic), community and self-other interaction (the Imaginary), and individual's internal world (the Real) may play in the migrant's process of learning to be and to become.
520 $a With the problematic cases of "Self Abjection" in Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, "Half Bildung" in Naipaul's The Mimic Men, and "Negative Bildung" in Beckett's The Unnamable, this dissertation contends that migrant Bildung may become stalled and even untenable because of less than satisfactory supply of elements indispensable to human becoming: social recognition of the sanctity of the self, actual continuity of environmental provision, and a culture that values the inwardness---both aesthetic and spiritual--- of human existence. With these contemplations, this dissertation invites considerations of an 'outside' of language in constituting human subjectivity.
