Volume : I, Issue : IV, May - 2011 Mikhail Bakhtin’s Dialogism and Intertextuality: A Perspective Panchappa R. Waghmare Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The upsurge of current literary theory has become something of significant
phenomenon in contemporary literature, emerging as formidable force in
interdisciplinary subjects. Dialogic criticism proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin is one of
the new perspectives to study literary work. To Bakhtin, text is not a self contained
organism and the language represented in text is not alien entity, instead a site for
dialogic interaction of multiple voices or modes of discourse. This research paper
briefly attempts to introduce dialogic criticism and its theoretical concepts like
polyphony, heteroglossia and their relation to literary work. It also concentrates on
the theory of dialogism in relation to the notion of intertexuality in contemporary
critical theory. The revival and reinterpretation of Bakhtin has become a part of the
contemporary critical trend. Mikhail Bakhtin’s Dialogic Criticism concentrates on
plurality of text and plurality of independent unmerged voices. He stood against
Russian Formalists views that text as independent and impersonal linguistic or
cultural force. To Bakhtin, text is not merely a verbal but a social phenomenon.
The literary work, according to Bakhtin, is the product of manifold determinants
that are a specific to a class, social group and speech community. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Panchappa R. Waghmare, (2011).
