Bakhtin's dialogism
Bakhtin's dialogism is the idea that meaning is created through dialogue and interaction between different voices, perspectives, and contexts. He argued that language is not a fixed system but a dynamic conversation where every word carries various meanings shaped by its social and cultural background. Rather than seeing texts or ideas as isolated, Bakhtin emphasized that they exist in a web of relationships, influencing and responding to one another. This perspective highlights the importance of understanding multiple viewpoints and the ongoing exchange of thoughts in shaping how we understand the world.
