Bakhtin + x, through a Modernist Mask.
- Authors
Emerson, Caryl
- Abstract
The article discusses a book titled "Understanding Bakhtin, Understanding Modernism" edited by Philippe Birgy, which explores the work of Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin and its relationship to modernism. The book contains essays that cover various aspects of Bakhtin's ideas, including his unique use of language and his views on the novel and carnival. It also examines how Bakhtin's ideas can be applied to different fields, such as literature, poetry, and technology. However, some essays in the book struggle to align Bakhtin's ideas with modernist or post-colonialist perspectives. The article presents different perspectives on Bakhtin's work and his relevance to modernism, including essays on re-enchantment, crisis time in modernism, connections to Charles Dickens and James Joyce, and challenges to Bakhtin's views on embodied performance in modern dance. The article concludes by reflecting on Bakhtin's enduring significance and his ability to adapt to changing times.
