About the author

Very influential writings of Russian linguist and literary critic Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin in 20th-century poststructuralism and the social theory of the novel included Problems of Dostoyevsky's Works (1929, see Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky) and The Dialogic Imagination (1975).

This philosopher, semiotician, and scholar on ethics and the philosophy of language. He on a variety of subjects inspired scholars in a number of different traditions of Marxism, semiotics, and religionand in disciplines as diverse as history, philosophy, anthropology, and psychology. Although Bakhtin acted in the debates on aesthetics that took place in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, scholars rediscovered his not well known distinctive position in the 1960s.

Reviews

[Emanuel Lupaşcu]

una dintre cele mai bune cărți de teorie literară

[Samuel]

Absolutamente impecable. Creo sinceramente que calquera persoa cun desexo de examinar calquera arte con algo de prisma intelectual, pero especialmente a literatura, debería lelo. Paréceme demencial que Bakhtín, en xeral, e en particular esta obra, non se cite ad nauseam. A día de hoxe unha parte nada desdeñable de publicaciós en Humanidades segue traballando con ideas que Bakhtín xa presentaba a principios do século XX e o grao de recoñecemento que recibe por isto é ínfimo. Malditos sexan o idealismo, o positivismo e tódolos seus secuaces ineptos. Isto si que era Filoloxía con xeito

[Illiterate]

Attacks formalism. Defends concrete utterances & historical categories. Recommended as antidote to new criticism, deconstruction, Yale school, etc.

[sologdin]

likely written by medvedev, rather than bakhtin proper. a consideration of vanilla russian formalism from the perspective of the bakhtin circle.
