When Congress Debates: A Bakhtinian Paradigm (Praeger Studies in Political Communication)
When Congress Debates A Bakhtinian Paradigm - Praeger Studies in Political Communication
Author: Theodore F. Sheckels
Sheckels offers a new perspective on Congressional debating, one derived from the theoretical work of Mikhail Bakhtin. Debates are presented as richly polyphonic and as featuring double-voiced discourse, exhibiting "carnivalesque" energy and lacking finalizability. He analyzes six Congressional debates using this Bakhtinian paradigm.
