Introducing Bakhtin by Sue Vice
Aimed at arts students this provides a comprehensive introduction to Bakhtin's central concepts and terms. Vice illustrates what is meant by ideas as carnival, grotesque body, dialogism and heteroglossia, which are placed in contemporary context for current issues such as feminism and sexuality.The Russian critic and theorist Mikhail Bakhtin is once again in favor, his influence spreading across many discourses including literature, film, cultural and gender studies. This book provides the most comprehensive introduction to Bakhtin’ s central concepts and terms. Sue Vice illustrates what is meant by such ideas as carnival, the grotesque body, dialogism and heteroglossia. These concepts are then placed in a contemporary context by drawing out the implications of Bakhtin’ s writings, for current issues such as feminism and sexuality. Vice’ s examples are always practically based on specific texts such as the film "Thelma and Louise," Helen Zahavi’ s "Dirty Weekend" and James Kelman's "How late it was, how late." |
