Mikhail Bakhtin: Between Phenomenology and Marxism (Literature, Culture, Theory, Series Number 11) - Hardcover
The language theory of Mikhail Bakhtin does not fall neatly under any single rubric - 'dialogism,' 'marxism,' 'prosaics,' 'authorship' - because the philosophic foundation of his writing rests ambivalently between phenomenology and Marxism. The theoretical tension of these positions creates philosophical impasses in Bakhtin's work, which have been neglected or ignored partly because these impasses are themselves mirrored by the problems of antifoundationalist and materialist tendencies in literary scholarship. In Mikhail Bakhtin: Between Phenomenology and Marxism Michael Bernard-Donals examines various incarnations of phenomenological and materialist theory - including the work of Jauss, Fish, Rorty, Althusser, and Pecheux - and places them beside Bakhtin's work, providing a contextualised study of Bakhtin, a critique of the problems of contemporary critics, and an original contribution to literary theory.

Review:
"Michael Bernard-Donals has written a thoughtful study..." Slavic Review "Bernard-Donals argues convincingly that Bakhtin has much to offer to a liberatory or Utopian vision of social change. Bernard-Donals's book is therefore a significant contribution to Bakhtin studies, and it succeeds admirably in extending his ideas into novel intellectual domains." Utopian Studies
Book Description:

This book is a contextualized study of Bakhtin, a critique of contemporary criticism, and an original contribution to literary theory.
