Bakhtin Dialogues

Bakhtin's concept of dialogues refers to the idea that our understanding and meaning are shaped through ongoing conversations with others and society. Unlike one-sided communication, dialogue involves multiple perspectives interacting, influencing, and evolving together. It emphasizes that language and ideas are dynamic, rooted in relationships and context. These dialogues are not just exchanges of words but processes that shape self-awareness, culture, and knowledge, highlighting the importance of openness, listening, and reciprocal understanding in human interaction.
