Summary

ls"Dialogics of Self, the Mahabharath, and Culture: The History of Understanding and Understanding of Historyrs" explores the interrelationships between individual and cultural historical dynamics in interpreting texts, using key concepts from Bakhtinrs"s theory of dialogics. This ambitious volume discusses the limits of fixed monologic discourses and the benefits of fluid dialogic discourses, and provides a cultural and psychological analysis of the epic Indian text the ls"Mahabharathrs". The problem addressed by ls"Dialogics of Self, Culture, and the Mahabharathrs" is not just how we understand and narrate history, but also how the very mechanism by which we understand and narrate history itself has a history. This volume is about the interplay of several histories that of the individual, individual's past relationship to the text, which in turn is dependent on the nature of encounters they have had in the past, and the history of the text, and the very history of understanding.
