Michael Bernard-Donals explores the ambivalence underlying the language theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, and the mirroring difficulties experienced by antifoundationalist and materialist strands in literary scholarship. This book is a contextualized study of Bakhtin, a critique of contemporary criticism, and an original contribution to literary theory.

The language theory of Mikhail Bakhtin does not fall neatly under any single rubric--''dialogism, '' ''Marxism, '' ''prosaics, '' ''authorship''--because the philosophic foundation of his writing rests ambivalently between phenomenology and Marxism. The theoretical tension of these positions creates philosophical impasses in Bakhtin''s work, which have been neglected or ignored partly because these impasses are themselves mirrored by the problems of antifoundationalist and materialist tendencies in literary scholarship.
