Description

Mikhail Bakhtin's central concepts and terms are explored in this comprehensive introduction to his ideas. Sue Vice provides clear explanations of key concepts such as carnival, the grotesque body, dialogism and heteroglossia, and illustrates their relevance to current issues like feminism and sexuality. Vice draws on specific texts to demonstrate the practical applications of Bakhtin's theories, including films like Thelma and Louise, Helen Zahavi's Dirty Weekend, and James Kelman's How late it was, how late. This book offers a thorough understanding of Bakhtin's work in a contemporary context. By examining these concepts through specific examples, Vice provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the influence of Mikhail Bakhtin on various fields of study.
