Peeren's book brings the work of Russian literary theorist Mikhail
Bakhtin to bear on contemporary expressions of popular culture,
including the novel and television series "Sex and the City," the
television series "Queer as Folk," the films "Nell" and "Flawless,"
and London's annual Notting Hill Carnival. This selection of
artifacts and events is designed to show the continuing relevance
of Bakhtin's ideas for present-day literary and cultural studies
and to theorize the construction and political assertion of gender,
racial, and sexual identities as fundamentally intersubjective.
With "Intersubjectivities and Popular Culture," Peeren models a new
approach to Bakhtin that moves away from the study of Bakhtin's
sources and historical context in order to situate him in relation
to present-day debates about identity and agency. By working
through various concepts--the chronotope, performativity, the look
and the gaze, the cultural addressee, accents and speech genres,
translation, and territory and versioning--she demonstrates how
Bakhtin's ideas are tested, transformed, and extended by their
interaction with specific instances of popular culture and with the
other theoretical frameworks those instances invoke.
