Rabelais ve Dünyası
Carnival exists on the border between art and life; He doesn't know what stage light is; there actors and spectators mix; It is a festival to which everyone is invited. XX. So is the book of Mihail Bakhtin, one of the leading cultural and literary theorists of the century... In Rabelais and His World, Bakhtin talks about the popular festive forms that penetrated every corner of daily life during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and determined all human relations from the street to the palace, and the basis of these. It speaks of the underlying carnival spirit. However, the carnival spirit should not be confused with modern carnivals, where people have fun once a year, in moderation and with a tamed laugh. For Bakhtin, carnival is existence itself, with its power that can turn everything upside down, its language that praises and criticizes, and its images that can contain two opposing meanings at the same time. It overthrows in one fell swoop everything that is stagnant, unlighted and takes itself seriously. Carnival is a long and loud laughter that challenges any authority that claims to be absolute. This is an ambiguous, universal smile that is also directed towards the person laughing; Unlike the negative, personal smile of the modern satirist, who places himself above the object of ridicule, it is the convivial smile of the people that represents a whole worldview... Rabelais and His World is a new popular culture, even cultural analysis and history more generally; It is a profound book that is embraced as a methodology. In each chapter, where Bakhtin draws lots of rich and surprising connections between forms, genres and images, a holistic picture gradually emerges before us; This cheerful, colorful, ambiguous system of images gradually carries us, as we turn the pages, from the idea of an isolated biological human being to the idea of an immortal human being with a concrete and realistic historical awareness... Mikhail Bakhtin is the most important Soviet thinker in the field of human sciences and the most important figure of the twentieth century. He is a great literary theorist. _ _ , Tzvetan Todorov Bakhtin's works can be read in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture as a response to theories developed without his knowledge or even after him. Today, it is difficult to find a discussion in these areas that does not mention Bakhtin. He is the author of the moment when words touch life, with his emphasis on the ties of language and literature with concrete reality.
