Dialogue and Critical Discourse: Language, Culture, Critical Theory by Michael M

Description: Dialogue and Critical Discourse by Michael Macovski Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A collection of previously unpublished essays, which consider the relationship between spoken language and written text in light of the thought of the influential Russian formalist Mikhail Bakhtin. The work demonstrates the importance of Bakhtins theory of dialogic meaning for a wide range of textual problems. Publisher Description This interdisciplinary volume of collected, mostly unpublished essays demonstrates how Mikhail Bakhtins theory of dialogic meaning--and its subsequent elaborations--have influenced a wide range of critical discourses. With essays by Michael Holquist, Jerome J. McGann, John Searle, Deborah Tannen, Gary Saul Morson, Caryl Emerson, Shirley Brice Heath, Don H. Bialostosky, Paul Friedrich, Timothy Austin, John Farrell, Rachel May, and Michael Macovski, the collectionexplores dialogue not only as an exchange among intratextual voices, but as an extratextual interplay of historical influences, oral forms, and cultural heuristics as well. Such approaches extend theimplications of dialogue beyond the boundaries of literary theory, to anthropology, philosophy, linguistics, and cultural studies. The essays address such issues as the establishment and exercise of political power, the relation between conversational and literary discourse, the historical development of the essay, and the idea of literature as social action. Taken together, the essays argue for a redefinition of literary meaning--one that is communal, interactive, and vocatively created. Theydemonstrate that literary meaning is not rendered by a single narrator, nor even by a solitary author--but is incrementally exchanged and constructed. Author Biography Michael Macovski is Associate Professor of English at Fordham University in New York. He is the author of Dialogue and Literature: Apostrophe, Auditors, and the Collapse of Romantic Discourse (OUP, 1994), as well as articles on Emily Brontë, Lord Byron, and the history of publishing.
