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

[Alec · Rating 3 out of 5]

Starts off increasingly edifying and amusing, putting things in order, providing a wealth of references to medieval literature, elucidating, moving, opening one's eyes on Rabelais' humor and so on.

After about a third the style started to get on my nerves, and the suspicion that at least some of the sophistry is due to obligatory Marxist ideals and communistic dialectics (Hegelianism?) gets stronger and more aggressive (and I say that as someone who never read either Marx or Hegel, so no guarantee that that was the problem).

While reading the last part I was almost completely numb. No fun with Gogol.

Очень мне повезло, что я читал "Гаргантюа и Пантагрюэля" в детстве. У меня тогда было вполне средневековое сознание.
