Chapter 3 - End Notes

1. This 1977 confrontation in the pages of Glyph began with Derrida's essay "Signature, Event, Context," to which Searle responded with "Reiterating the Differences." Derrida followed this up with "Limited, Inc. abc." For a synopsis of this argument, see Norris 108-15.

2. The dispute over authorship of this and other texts of the Bakhtin Circle is long and complicated. For a brief summation of the various arguments, see Titunik, "The Baxtin Problem"; Clark and Holquist, "A Continuing Dialogue"; and Morson and Emerson, Mikhail Bakhtin: Creation of a Prosaics, 101-19. For a detailed textual comparison of Bakhtin's signed works and those of disputed authorship, see Titunik, "Bakhtin &/or Voloshinov &/or Medvedev: Dialogue &/or Doubletalk?" As is evident from the preceding chapter, this thesis will focus only on those works undeniably attributed to Bakhtin.

3. Notable examples include the works of various modernist writers, including James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. For a Bakhtinian interpretation of Joyce, see Kershner; of Woolf, see Herrmann.

4. For a comparison of Bakhtin's concept of carnival with Marxism, see LaCapra. For a Marxist interpretation of Bakhtin's The Dialogic Imagination and a critique of deconstruction, see White, "Bakhtin, Sociolinguistics and Deconstruction." For Bakhtinian syntheses of deconstruction and Marxism, see Evans, and Pechey. For an interesting deconstructive critique of Marxist appropriations of Bakhtin, see Young; for a rebuttal of Young's views, see White, "The Struggle over Bakhtin."

5. Even with publication of these early essays showing Bakhtin's obvious interest in religious issues, the debate over whether Bakhtin espoused a Christian faith still continues. For an excellent discussion of this issue, see Emerson, "Russian Orthodoxy and the Early Bakhtin."

6. For additional discussions of Bakhtin and feminist theory, see Booth, "Freedom of Interpretation"; Diaz-Diocaretz; Halasek; Stevenson; and Thomson.

7. For comparisons and contrasts of Bakhtin and Derrida, see Holquist, "The Surd Heard"; MacCannell; and Zavala.

8. See Bakhtin/Medvedev. This book on Russian Formalism is a work of disputed authorship. For a discussion of this dispute, see sources in the second note above.
