| The question of otherness is one of
Bakhtin’s main concerns in his work, but the
distinguished feature of his contribution to this
subject is the inquiry into textual appearane
of the Other. In this article, whilst the authors
try to reassert Bakhtin’s philosophical view
on the Other and his relation to self in the
world, various dimensions of the appearance
of the Other in texts are investigated. The
main statement of the article is that while
Bakhtin considers some texts to be dialogical
and others to be monological, drawing on all
his ideas on the subject, he believes that there
exists a certain degree of conflict between
dialogue and monologue within every text.
In other words, neither the dialogical texts
are devoid of any monological features, nor
the monological texts are deprived of any
dialogical features. Therefore, the domination
of the dialogical or monological features over
other extreme in the texts, determines a text
to be generally dialogical or monological, and
the absolute appearance of monological or
dialogical features in a single text is proved to
be of no credit. |
