Bakhtin and Religion: a Feeling for Faith
Files
Description
The dimension of religion in the life and work of Mikhail Bakhtin has been fiercely contested -- and willfully ignored -- by critics. Unique in its in-depth focus on this subject, Bakhtin and Religion: A Feeling for Faith brings together leading British, American, and Russian scholars to investigate the role of religious thought in shaping and framing Bakhtin's writings.These essays comprise a valuable overview of Bakhtin's attitude toward religion in general and Russian Orthodoxy in particular, addressing topics ranging from how Bakhtin's religious ideas informed his linguistic and aesthetic theories to the idea of love in Bakhtin's secular and religious thought to the religious component of Bakhtin's theory of laughter.
