Description
Book SynopsisPeeren's book is a cultural analysis that brings the literary and social theories of Mikhail Bakhtin to bear on artifacts and events from contemporary popular culture in order to theorize gender, sexual, and racial identities as fundamentally intersubjective.
Trade Review“Peeren brings Bakhtin scholarship into previously unexplored territories, taking provocative stances, showing where he needed to think more clearly, and using him to study objects of which he probably would never have approved. Until now, no one has ever done such an exciting reading of Bakhtin in the light of performance studies.”—Anthony Wall, University of Calgary
