OverviewThis edited volume proposes key contributions addressing the connections between two important themes: dialogue and representation. These connections were approached or interpreted in three possible ways: 1. Dialogue as representation, 2. Normative perspectives on dialogue/representation issues, and 3. Representations of dialogue. The first interpretation -- Dialogue as representation -- consists of exploring dialogue as an activity where many things, beings or voices can be made present, whether we think in terms of ideologies, cultures, situations, collectives, roles, etc. The second interpretation – Normative perspectives on dialogue/representation issues – leads scholars to explore questions of normativity, which are often associated with the notion of dialogue, when conceived as a morally stronger form of conversation. Finally, the third interpretation – Representations of dialogue – invites us to address methodological questions related to the representation of this type of conversation. Echoing Bakhtin, contributors were invited to explore the polyphonic, heteroglot, or dialogic character of any text, discourse or interaction.

I recommend the book to anyone who takes seriously the metatheoretical, theoretical and practical aspects of researching and understanding dialogue. This volume serves as an important conduit for promoting continued discussion about what dialogue is and what it can be in terms of conceptualization, method and practice. -- Jimmie Manning, Northern Illinois University, in Discourse Studies Vol. 17:3 (2015) Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
