Dialogic Materialism: Bakhtin, Embodiment and Moving Image Art
argues for the relevance of Mikhail Bakhtin's theories of dialogism
as a means of examining the interdisciplinary nature of
contemporary moving image art forms. The volume comprises six
chapters divided into two sections. The first section, Part I,
illustrates the key concepts in Bakhtin's multifaceted dialogism
and develops these ideas in relation to moving image art. The main
focus of this first part is the proposal of what the author terms
dialogic materialism, which builds upon the Marxism inherent in
Bakhtin, examining the material processes of cultural exchange with
a particular emphasis on multi-perspective subjective relations.
Part II consists of case studies that apply dialogic materialism to
the moving image artwork of three artists: Stan Douglas, Jamelie
Hassan and Chris Marker. Applying Bakhtinian theory to the field of
the visual arts provides a means of examining the fundamentally
dialogic nature of moving image art making and viewing, a
perspective that is not fully developed within the existing
literature.
