The Russian critic and theorist Mikhail Bakhtin is once again in
favor, his influence spreading across many discourses including
literature, film, cultural and gender studies. This book provides
the most comprehensive introduction to Bakhtin’s central concepts
and terms. Sue Vice illustrates what is meant by such ideas as
carnival, the grotesque body, dialogism and heteroglossia. These
concepts are then placed in a contemporary context by drawing out
the implications of Bakhtin’s writings, for current issues such as
feminism and sexuality. Vice’s examples are always practically
based on specific texts such as the film "Thelma and Louise, "
Helen Zahavi’s "Dirty Weekend" and James Kelman's "How late it was,
how late."
