Product Description

Review

"Creatively extends Bakhtin's ideas into such hitherto-neglected spheres as the mass media and film theory... An imaginative and productive addition to the burgeoning literature on Mikhail Bakhtin." -- Theory, Culture, and Society



"Insightful... In moving from broad theoretical questions to a social pragmatic, Stam manages to focus on issues Bakhtin never addressed, yet the relevant nature of his applicability is made all the more apparent." -- Popular Communication Newsletter and Review



Product Description

Subversive Pleasures offers the first extended application of Mikhail Bakhtin's critical methods to film, mass-media, and cultural studies. With extraordinary interdisciplinary and multicultural range, Robert Stam explores issues that include the "translinguistic" critique of Saussurean semiotics and Russian formalism, the question of language difference in the cinema, issues of national culture in Latin America, and "the carnivalesque" in literature and film. He discusses literary works by Rabelais, Shakespeare, and Jarry and treats films by Vigo, Bunuel, Wertmuller, Imamura, Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Marleen Gooris, and others. Now in paperback, Subversive Pleasures is a splendidly lucid introduction to the central concepts and analytical methods of Bakhtin and the Bakhtin circle.
