- Summary:
- The Pioneering work of Mikhail Bakhtin has Led Scholars to see all discourse as "dialogical." Contributors to The Monologic Imagination argue that something is overlooked with this focus. Many speakers, especially in political and religious contexts, craft monologues-single-voiced statements to which the only expected response is agreement or faithful replication. Drawing on ethnographic case studies from the United States, Iran, Cuba, Indonesia, Algeria, and Papua New Guinea, the authors argue that a focus on "the monologic imagination" gives us new insights into languages' political design and religious force, and deepens our understandings of the necessary interplay between mono-logical and dialogical tendencies.
