Michael Bachtin
b 1895 in Orel, Russia – died 1975 in Klimovsk/Moscow, Russia. Under Stalin’s regime the philosopher, language and literature theorist was exiled to Kazahstan in 1929 and had no chance of publishing his works. In the 1960s, his theory found recognition in the area of French structuralism but was first recognized worldwide after his death. In his principal works—«The Problems of Dostoyevsky’s Poetics,» «Rabelais and his World» and «The Aesthetics of the Word»—he formulated textual theoretical concepts on the open work of art, polyphony, interacting textual contents, the participative reader, and on dialog. Even today Bachtin’s concepts greatly influence not only literary studies, but also philosophy as well as art and media studies.
