Bakhtin and the Human Sciences : No Last Words, Hardback Book

Bakhtin and the Human Sciences : No Last Words Hardback

Edited by Michael Gardiner, Michael Mayerfeld Bell

Part of the Published in Association with Theory, Culture & Society series

Hardback

Description

Bakhtin and the Human Sciences demonstrates the abundance of ideas Bakhtin's thought offers to the human sciences, and reconsiders him as a social thinker, not just a literary theorist.

The contributors hail from many disciplines and their essays' implications extend into other fields in the human sciences.

The volume emphasizes Bakhtin's work on dialogue, carnival, ethics and everyday life, as well as the relationship between Bakhtin's ideas and those of other important social theorists. In a lively introduction Gardiner and Bell discuss Bakhtin's significance as a major intellectual figure and situate his ideas within current trends and developments in social theory.
