Caryl Emerson's scientific contributions

... Dialogue is, according to Bakhtin, both a fact of life and an ideal to strive for at the same time as it also includes how meaning, knowledge, and creativity are developed in the tension between different voices. Such a notion of dialogue is apt to examine meaning-making processes and the development of new knowledge and understanding that often emerge in the tension between different perspectives (Dysthe 2001;Dysthe and Igland 2001;Morson and Emerson 1990) and was perhaps the most central concept in the works of Bakhtin. When people engage in dialogue, they reveal their voices. ...

... As psychotherapists we have to understand and confront these potentially destructive feelings in ourselves and in our patients on a daily basis. Bakhtin's model for intersubjectivity is a mutually creative ideal relationship between equals, based on one between the loving author and his "hero," which is rarely found in real life (Bernstein, 1989). If, as psychotherapists, our position of "outsideness" is to be an ethically useful concept in psychotherapy, it needs to be qualified. ...

... Estas contribuciones se caracterizan por incorporar en su análisis el concepto de dialogicidad, cuya aparición en el contexto académico se remonta a las refl exiones de Bakhtin sobre la novela (Holquist, 1981). Dicho concepto se ha traducido en la identificación de formas específi cas de participación en el diálogo, agrupadas en categorías que, entre otras cosas, ilustran la importancia de la explicitud y el razonamiento en la conversación con valor educativo (Mercer, 1997). ...

... The researcher is a member of the community and is fully aware of the tattoo practice due to a current personal experience with a tattoo. Bakhtin (1986;p. 289) explains that actions can only be understood, appreciated, and observed through an insider's perspective who shares the same language to grasp true meanings associated with these actions and expressions. ...

... As indicated in Table 10.1, the elements of this level of map making were grounded in developing times identified for the events from the video records. These time markers created an anchor for analyzing time-space-actor interactions (cf., chronotopes, Bakhtin, 1981, p. 257 cited in Kumpulainen, 2019, as well as speaker-hearer/individual-collective interactions (cf., Bakhtin, 1986;Fairclough, 1992;Gumperz, 1982). By constructing this table as a more detailed and complex level of map making than was possible from the fieldnotes, I demonstrated how tracing and (re)presenting developing discourse and interactional processes from video records extended the power of my analytical lens. ...

... Sin embargo dentro de una sociedad podemos identificar distintas modos de comunicarse. Bakhtin sostiene que nos comunicamos no solo en una o más lenguas nacionales, sino que también nos comunicamos regularmente en lenguas sociales y utilizamos una variedad de géneros discursivos que encarnan los modos de expresión de la cultura y los grupos subculturales con los que nos involucramos en nuestra sociedad (Woolfolk, 1983). Específicamente, el lenguaje científico involucra el simbolismo matemático, la construcción de analogías, la formulación de hipótesis, el desarrollo de modelos, etc., de modo que el aprendizaje de la ciencia involucra aprender a manejar este lenguaje específico. ...

... Second, as we've seen, Voloshinov speaks almost entirely of the sign, something that Bakhtin rarely mentions. Like Vygotsky, Voloshinov sees the word as an inner sign (1973, p. 14), and he sees every outer sign as engulfed by inner signs (1973, p. 33); as Morson and Emerson (1990) argue, sign is a way for Voloshinov to bridge dialogue and dialectics by framing the responsive interactions of dialogue within dialectic's developmental understanding of signs. ...

... Aufgrund der Nähe zur Sprach-und Kulturtheorie Bachtins ist es nicht weiter überraschend, dass Petzold in der Menschenbild-Charta der IT explizit an Bachtins Karnevalskonzept anknüpft, freilich "jenseits seiner modischen Überhöhung (Savinova 1991;Thomson, Wall 1993) oder Politisierung (Groys 1997)" (Petzold 2003e/2006k, 38 den ‚Es', das keine soziale Dimension einschließt" (ibid.). 33 Auf die Fokussierung Rabelais' auf den menschlichen Körper und dessen Leben "in seiner ganzen verblüffenden Kompliziertheit und Tiefgründigkeit" hatte Bachtin bereits in Chronotopos (CH 99) hingewiesen; und durch diese Fokussierung bekommt auch "die gesamte übrige Welt einen neuen Sinn und eine konkrete Realität und Materialität" (ibid.). ...

... How is such an image negotiated and/or contested by the participants in these classes? To answer these questions, we draw upon a framework that brings together theorisations of the discursive construction of the nation (Bhabha 1990;Billig 1995;Calhoun 2017;Triandafyllidou 1998) with Bakhtin's (1981) notion of the chronotope and Shenhav's (2015) 'social narratives'. With the help of this analytical apparatus, we show how narratives within civic orientation are characterised by two main spatiotemporal moves that discursively construct Sweden as a nation-state: (1) a temporal, historical narrative and (2) a spatial dichotomy between 'here' and 'there'. ...
