Rethinking BakhtinExtensions and Challenges GARY SAUL MORSON AND CARYL EMERSON The essays in Rethinking Bakhtin: Extensions and Challenges extend Bakhtin's concepts inimportant new directions and challenge Bakhtin's own use of his most cherished ideas.Four sets of paired essays explore the theory of parody, the relation of de Man's poetics toBakhtin's dialogics, Bakhtin's approach to Tolstoy and ideological literature generally, and thedangers of dialogue, not only in practice but also as an ideal. This book is in English. Rethinking Bakhtin: Extensions and Challenges by Gary Morson and Caryl Emerson is a critical work that engages deeply with the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, a Russian philosopher and literary critic known for his theories on dialogue, carnival, and the novel. Morson and Emerson, both prominent scholars in the field of Russian literature and theory, provide a comprehensive examination of Bakhtin's ideas, extending his theories to new contexts and challenging some of his conclusions. This book is particularly valuable for those interested in literary theory, philosophy, and cultural studies, as it not only explicates Bakhtin's complex theories but also applies them to a broader range of texts and cultural phenomena. The authors engage with Bakhtin's work on dialogism, his theory of the carnivalesque, and his ideas on heteroglossia, among other concepts, offering fresh perspectives and critical insights. Morson and Emerson's work stands out for its rigorous scholarship and its willingness to question and expand upon Bakhtin's ideas. Their analysis is detailed and nuanced, making Rethinking Bakhtin: Extensions and Challenges a significant contribution to Bakhtinian studies and to the field of literary criticism more broadly. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the depths of Bakhtin's thought and its implications for understanding literature and culture. It offers readers the tools to critically engage with Bakhtin's work and to consider the ways in which his theories can be applied and extended in contemporary critical discourse.
