Topic: Dialogism


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Dialogism and Feminine Voice
Silverman's model is useful for elaborating the dialogical text embodied by female voice.
However, those synchronized scenes in which her subjectivity is privileged in the diegesis must still be seen as interdependent with the macro-enunciative narration.
Although her diary tends to appear trivial, private and insignificant compared to the larger social and political context, it is through reading along the borderline of these two textualities that irony is produced and dialogism emerges.

  FQS 3(3) Guillaume: Reflexivity and Subjectivity: A Dialogical Perspective for and on International Relations Theory
Dialogism is thus presented as a reflexive tool for and on IR theory, through the hermeneutical locus it creates, with all its epistemological consequences either in the relations the cognisant entertains toward the cognised or the cognisant toward other cognisant.
Dialogism represents one of these possible stances, in particular in relation to the identity-alterity nexus problématique which positivism tends to avoid as the idea of the subjectivity of the cognised is dismissed through the veil of objectivity.
A dialogical understanding of international relations specifically undertakes such experimentation by concentrating on contextuality and expressivity in order to determine which utterances, which competing or alternative self-understanding/ representation(s) are to be considered as dominant in the dialogical constitution and performance of an intersubjective representation defined as national.

Dialogism is the on-going intertextual weave of coherence and incoherence.
The four dialogisms constitute to Polypi Model of the dialogisms of dialogisms, and is the most advanced form of systemicity complexity (the upper levels of Kenneth Boulding's system complexity where language, symbol, and story rule) [for more on Dialogism see Boje, 2005b).

 Excerpt Chicano Poetics
Dialogism is the epistemic and semantic mode characterizing discursive interanimation at each of the three levels: one "social language" amid one national language; multiple "social languages" amid one national language; or multiple national languages.
Dialogism is that radical heterogeneity and exotopy in the face of homogeneity and unity.
Or to apply another Bakhtin, the carnivalesque, the grotesque, the parodic, dialogizes the dominant discourse: this is the function of the comic and vulgar discourse of the common man, it decenters a self-righteous Latin.

 Critical Approaches: Historical Criticism: Dialogism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Dialogic critics base the study of language and literature on the individual utterance, taking into account the specific time, the place, the speaker, and the listener or reader.
Even your own language is dialogic, for it is made up of the dialogue in which you engage; that which you have heard from parents and peers, teachers and television; all kinds of social and professional discourse and reading.
The dialogic sees utterances, including literary utterances or works, as specific to a time and place, so one of its dimensions (unlike formalist, structuralist, or psychological criticism) is historical.

For this reason, the dialogical epistemology, in which the basic unit is the addressive response, is a natural foundation for the way the book describes the history of science, namely, the emphasis on disagreement, criticism, and doubt as the forces behind scientific progress.
Dialogism emphasises that scientific progress is the result of disagreement, doubt, and persuasion, and not of coercion or wilful submission or whim.
The dialogical criterion is the diametrical opposite to Kuhn's approach, both descriptively and normatively (to repeat, from a different angle, the claims of the chapter in Quantum Dialogue that discusses Kuhn's thesis).

 NEGOTIATING MEANING: THE DIALOGIC IMAGINATION IN ELECTRONIC ART
Thirdly, dialogical aesthetics is intersubjective and stands in stark contrast with monological art, which is largely based on the concept of individual expression (e.g., painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking).
Dialogic philosophy was elaborated by Buber [3] and developed by Mikhail Bakhtin within the more strict limits of the genre of the novel.
Crucial in the context of dialogic experimentation in the arts is the understanding that radical works of art cannot be limited by visuality; instead they are lived experiences based on contextual reciprocity (the context of the experience is reciprocal, i.e., it enables one to take the initiative to interfere and alter the experience).

 Bakhtin’s Dialogism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The idea that all language is dialogic expands the definition of dialogue from our general understanding of dialogue as conversation to dialogue as the master category of communication and epistemology.
Critics who use dialogism to investigate the characteristic discourse of novels typically focus on the functional markers of the movement between conversations and internal monologues and between the narrative voices and the characters’ voices, but in moving Bakhtin’s terms from the novel to the periodical, we confront new patterns of shifting markers.
Although individual entries may be monological representations of society, such as Patterson’s scientific discourse, or dialogical writings, such as some of Sala’s carnivalesque parodies, the combination of texts in an issue creates a larger, polyphonic text whose authorship is anonymous since it cannot be reduced to a single writer or to the editor.

This dialogic nature pre-determines that the study of cultural identity and/in literature is best performed in and with the tools of the discipline of comparative literature.
Thus, through dialogism the heterological nature of literary or cultural phenomena in the tradition of a given national history can be explored with fairly consequent argumentation.
In a dialogism that results in overcoming monological or hegemonistic views and statuses, demarcations between majority cultures and marginal cultures is becoming a real possibility.

 Dialogism
Indeed, in the light of Sebeok’s biosemiotics we believe that the concept of dialogism may be extended beyond the sphere of anthroposemiosis and applied to all communication processes, which may be described as being grounded not only in the concept of modeling, but also in that of dialogism.
As such it too has a dialogic structure and involves inferences of the ‘if...then’ type which may even occur on a primitive level, as in Pavlovian semiosis or as prefigurements of the type of semiosis (where we have a ‘quasi-mind’ interpreter) taking place during cognitive inference.
In other words, the dialogic communicative relationship between a sender who intends to communicate something about an object and a receiver may be considered, in turn, on the basis of the ‘functional cycle’ model.

 The expression of dialogism in dialogue dynamics
Dialogism (and/or dialogicality) is a multifaceted notion that concerns different aspects of human interaction.
It is usually brought up to refer to the fundamental capacity of « the human mind to conceive, create and communicate about social realities in terms of the Alter » (Markova, 2003) or, more frequently, to the fact that a specific discourse has its roots in other discourses written or spoken in previous contexts.
Quite surprisingly dialogism is less often brought up to refer to the dynamics of verbal interaction even though Bakhtin himself stressed on the fact that this phenomenon is a constitutive aspect of replies in real dialogue.

 Bristish Comparative Literature Association
Traditional concepts of poetry have frequently, and in the post-Romantic era nearly universally, precluded dialogic forms or intentions, adhering instead to an assumption of poetic monologism that focuses on a voice that is (in the case of the lyric) singular and personal and (in the case of the epic) unitary and centralizing.
But this scholarship is arguably more pressing than ever as theorists of literature and ethics have, in Jeffrey T. Nealon's words, "increasingly turned to a dialogic, intersubjective understanding of ethics" and as various critics of the genre question its isolation from the public sphere and contemporary readership.
Instituting its own dialogue among scholars, then, this volume aims to bring together substantial new essays in the field with some foundational ones to establish a solid and thought-provoking ground for future work by interrogating common but reductive models of poetry and opening new approaches to the teaching of and scholarship on the genre.

It would be therefore possible to say that dialogism in Bakhtin’s sense connects several key topics of contemporary humanities and enables a logical transition from the written word to the human spirit, from textual microstructures to cultural systems.
Vis a vis the dialogic formation of social relations, this approach suggests that it is possible to map some of the devices in architecture, culture, literature, cinema, etc., and establish a working methodology that intelligently responds to the devices' potential as mapped.
The dialogic is the device, or the group of devices and processes which fundamentally enable the formation of individuals, of narrative, and provide the engines by which chronotopes come into being and mutate.

 FQS 2(3) Skinner, Valsiner & Holland: Discerning the Dialogical Self: A Theoretical and Methodological Examination ...
Since there are relatively few examples of BAKHTINian applications to actual cases and little discussion of the analytic and methodological issues involved in such applications, we introduce key concepts from BAKHTIN and colleagues and subsequently illustrate their application and extension in an analysis of an excerpt from a Nepali adolescent's self-narrative.
Dialogism pays special attention to the variety of ways in which the self as author incorporates the words and voices of others (BAKHTIN, 1981, 1990).
She injects the words she chooses-words that come from her social environment-with her own intentions, her own perspective from a particular social position, as she directs them in dialogic encounters to engage and answer people who are actually present or who may be far removed in time and space.

 Dialogism (New Accents Series) by Routledge
In Dialogism, Michael Holquist provides the first comprehensive account of the Bakhtinian legacy, drawing on the entire corpus of Bakhtin's existing works, including previously unexamined Soviet archival material.
Its key is Bakhtin's commitment to the concept of dialogue, the principle of constant interplay between a variety of dynamic voices and discourses in different levels of texts, nature, society and the self.
Dialogism develops this crucial concept and explores its relevance to Bakhtin's own dialogue with other great thinkers: Saussure, Freud, Marx, Lukacs, and others.

 Rethinking Genre in School & Society: An Activity Theory Analysis
By substituting metaphors of conversation and dialog for metaphors of context and its contents, dialogism expands theories of writing to allow a more dynamic and interactiveor ecologicalapproach, where one can pursue a more thorough and symmetrical analysis than is possible with theories that posit some underlying conceptual scheme to explain writing and learning.
By focusing on dialog and "voices," by limiting the unit of analysis to oral and written utterance as discourse, dialogism brackets off a wide range of non-conversational actions and the material tools through which they are carried out, the ongoing social practices in which speaking and writing operate along with a host of non-linguistic tools.
Both dialogism and activity theory are socio-historical, moving from the social to the individual in their analysis.

 Bakhtin Circle [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Humboldt's 'inner-form' of language is recast as the relationality of discourse, dialogism.
Bakhtin now began to stress the dialogic character of all study in the 'human sciences', the fact that one needs to deal with another 'I' who can speak for and about his or herself in a fundamentally different way than with an inanimate and voiceless object.
Bakhtin's approach to subjectivity is dialogic, referring to the exchange of utterances rather than narrowly linguistic, and this extends to the analysis of texts which are always intertextual, meeting and illuminating each other.

 Seeber, General Consent in Jane Austen
In General Consent in Jane Austen: A Study in Dialogism, Barbara Seeber reconsiders the tendency of Jane Austen's critics to read her work as either subversive or apolitical.
She argues that critics who read the novels simply as either veiled political critiques of early nineteenth-century Britain or the ludic, apolitical wells of calm that led some World War I hospitals to recommend her novels to severely shell-shocked soldiers as "Austen therapy" are all missing the mark.
Her dialogic reading of the performance of the suspiciously Jacobin Lover's Vows in Mansfield Park uses Bakhtin to similar ends: the competing voices of the characters in the novel, the characters of the play, and even the cultural language of Inchbald's translated German tragedy are part of Austen's multi-voiced inquiry into power and character.

 Dialogism - Michael Holquist - Microsoft Reader eBook - Download Now!
Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas - on the dialogic nature of language, the carnivalesque, the nature of the novel, outsideness and answerability - have gained currency in literary studies, anthropology, linguistics, psychology and social theory.
Dialogism will provide this basis: Michael Holquist draws on all of Bakhtin's writings known to exist, including Soviet archive material, to provide a comprehensive account of his whole oeuvre.
The key to Bakhtin's distinctiveness is, Holquist suggests, his commitment to the concept of dialogue, and it is this commitment which provides coherence in the contributions Bakhtin makes to a wide variety of disciplines.

 Creation requires a type of visionary activity quite beyond the ordinary, especially if that creativity is to be ...
In The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Blake demonstrates his principle that reality is dialogical in nature, that "in opposition is true friendship," wherein the only real enemy is the limitation of the mind and the body, through the damning of their wellsprings of imaginative vision and pleasureful sensory apprehension.
This error in conception is due to a lack of comprehension of the dialogic nature of the psyche and reality, due to a repressive tendency toward transcendental repression rather than visionary synergy.
Blake concludes his dialogic discourse, then, with a prophetic presentation of the means of revolutionary change and a demonstration of the fact that no imposed and stubborn ordering of power or meaning may stand long before it is overturned by the cyclic force of creation.

 Introducing Bakhtin
Her "alibi" (p.2) taken from Wall and Thomson, is that no study can function "from within Bakhtin's thought", and this presumably gives her justification to go entirely her own way, which is not bad, but is not supposed to be the intent of the book, and does very little for Bakhtin scholarship.
Vice chooses five different Bakhtinian "Concepts", Heteroglossia, Dialogism, Polyphony, Carnivalesque and Chronotope, and builds a chapter around each, illustrating them in every case with Novels or Films, mostly from the 1990's, chosen by her, none of which occur in Bakhtin's work.
Lit-crit discourse is a challenge to grasp as first, especially if one's background is in the social sciences, as mine is. But if the reader brings some patience and a true interest in Bakhtin and his ideas, he or she will be rewarded.

 polyphony_conf   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The concepts of polyphony and dialogism were developed early last century by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin as alternatives to the univocality of literary texts and represent part of his challenge to traditional monological relations between author and heroes in novelistic writing.
Conceived as dialogic, narrative becomes an intersection of different accents and voices, which are fundamentally ambivalent in taking on meaning in relation to each other, rather than some absolute point of reference.
The ideas of polyphony and dialogism have been explored in the fields of philosophy, literary theory and linguistics, but their relevance to organisation studies still awaits recognition.

A dialogical novel is one composed in multiple, interactive voices without giving particular priority to any one of them and the term originates in the idea of dialogue, as opposed to monologue.
For him, dialogical writing is an un-hierarchical form in which the various voices are in energetic interplay in a way that is subversive of ideological structures.
A monological composition, by contrast, tends in Bakhtin's view, to be hierarchical, and therefore authoritarian.
