Orlando and its Genre Ambiguity
Orlando is a novel which is difficult to define regarding the literary genre. It is sometimes considered a phantasy – biography, philosophical biography, novel about writers, parody of a biography and the author herself named it as a „writer's holiday“. The aim of the paper is to point out to new possibilities of interpreting Orlando as a parody of a Bildungsroman. The Bildungsroman is considered as a bond between an autobiography (Jacobs and Krause, Dilthay) and picaresque novel (Miles). The paper challenges the real historical time in the novel and the role of the omniscient narrator. The final Orlando's maturing in the sense of an androgynous creature suggests the utopian idea of joining male and female mind in a unique experience.

Orlando kao žanrovska zagonetka
Orlando Virginije Woolf roman je koji teško potpada pod precizno žanrovsko određenje. Smatraju ga fantazijom – biografijom, filozofskim životopisom, romanom o piscima, parodijom životopisa, a sama autorica nazvala ga je „piščevim odmorom“. Cilj rada je ukazati na nove mogućnosti čitanja Orlanda, odnosno analizirati karakteristike ovoga romana kao parodije Bildungsromana. Ishodište analize zasniva se na promišljanju Bildungsromana kao spoja autobiografije (Jacobs i Krause, Dilthay) i pikarskoga romana (Miles). U radu se analizira usvajanje realnog povijesnog vremena, kao i uloga sveznajućeg pripovjedača. Konačno Orlandovo sazrijevanje u vidu androginog bića ukazuje na utopističku ideju autorice o stapanju muškog i ženskog uma u jedinstveno životno iskustvo.
