[KB] as long as the pipeline is open

[David Blakesley]

And how fortunate we are here at Clemson that Don will be paying a visit to
my Bakhtin/Burke seminar next week!

There are many points of overlap between Burke and Bakhtin, even though
each is writing from a dramatically different context. Here's just one
teaser, a passage from Bakhtin's essay "Author and Hero in Aesthetic
Activity," that one my students pointed out (Whitney Jordan Adams) and that
reminded me of KB's concepts of identification/division and
constubstantiality:

This other human being whom I am contemplating, I shall always see and know
> something that he, from his place outside and over against me, cannot see
> himself: parts of his body that are inaccessible to his own gaze (his head,
> his face and its expression), the world behind his back…are accessible to

What's interesting is that Bakhtin's perspectives on concepts like
heteroglossia, dialogism, polyphony, and laughter help add texture to key
Burkeian ideas like terministic screens, competitive-cooperation, the comic
frame, identification, and more.

We'll report back after Don's visit!
