Pub: DIALOG.CARNIVAL.CHRONOTOPE 41 (2009).

The journal on scientific research on the biography, theoretical works and epoch of M.M.Bakhtin entitled Dialog.Carnival.Chronotope that was published from 1992 to 2003 continues to be released. After a break of 6 years, #41 (2009 №1) has been published. The publication of the next issue is scheduled for November 2009. There’s no need to remind that Dialog.Carnival.Chronotope won a significant renown in scientific circles, played a key part in the understanding of Bakhtin’s scientific heritage, contributed to the consolidation of efforts of scientists in this or that way interested in Bakhtin’s works; the journal featured many critical archive documents (including Bakhtin’s thesis defense file), key works by Western scientists who determined the perception of Bakhtin’s ideas in Europe (J. Kristeva, T. Todorov). The topics of the journal get extended a bit now but remain within Bakhtin’s scientific interests and personality: — mediaevistics, — Dostoevsky’s works, — text linguistics, — language philosophy, — problem of genre, — novel theory, — time and space categories in text, — Marxism, — Freudism, — formalism in literary studies, — pre-requisites and consequences of Bakhtin’s philosophy, — Bakhtin’s epoch. Reviews of conferences of related topics are invited, as well as reviews of books on Bakhtin-related issues. Materials in Russian, English and French are accepted. For publication in #42, you should send articles before November 1, 2009, to nevmenandr [at] gmail.com. For all details, please contact the journal’s executive secretary, Boris Orekhov.
