Bakhtin and his Others

Bakhtin and his Others aims to develop an understanding of Mikhail Bakhtins ideas through a contextual approach, particularly with a focus on Bakhtin studies from the 1990s onward. The volume offers fresh theoretical insights into Bakhtins ideas on (inter)subjectivity and temporality including his concepts of chronotope and literary polyphony by reconsidering his ideas in relation to the sources he employs, and taking into account later research on similar topics. The case studies show how Bakhtin's ideas, when seen in light of this approach, can be constructively employed in contemporary literary research.
