Anybody up on Bakhtin??

[Aberforths Goat / Mike Gray]

Say -

Are any of you folks well read in Bakhtin's stuff? I discovered him
recently, and I'm interested in using his idea of the carnival as a
description of the temorary reversals that make fantasy fiction work.

BTW, you guys gave me a lot to think about on my list of differences. I
need to rethink some stuff. For now, I just wanted to say thanks for all
the comments, especially the critical ones! (I'll be honest: I'm getting
some academic work done this way, and you guys are valiantly trying to
save me from making a fool of myself.) I'll pick up on a few comments
when I get a chance.

Baaaaaa!
