Mikhail Bakhtin: An Aesthetic for Democracy by Ken Hirschkop (English) Paperback

Description: Mikhail Bakhtin by Ken Hirschkop Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Kenneth Hirschkop shows that behind the familiar mythical figure lies a writer bound up with the historical crises of his time. Hirschkop shows that Bakhtins analysis of language, literature, and culture were all part of a continuing search for an ethical culture which would be modern, democratic, and aesthetically satisfying. Publisher Description This book makes a radical break with earlier interpretations of Bakhtins work. Using recent Russian scholarship, Ken Hirschkop explodes many of the myths which have surrounded Bakhtin and his work and lays the ground for a new, more historically acute sense of his achievement. Through a comprehensive reading of Bakhtins work, Hirschkop demonstrates that his discussion of the philosophy of language, literary history, popular-festive culture, and the phenomenologyof everyday life revolved around a lifelong search for a new kind of modern ethical culture. A detailed examination of the major works reveals the careful interweaving of philosophical and historicalargument which makes Bakhtin at once so compelling and so frustrating a writer. Hirschkop treats Bakhtin not as a metaphysician or a philosopher for the ages, but as a writer inevitably drawn into the historical conflicts produced by a modernizing and democratizing Europe. As a consequence, Bakhtin becomes a more sober but also more original writer, with a striking contribution to make to the definition of the democratic project.
