Dialogics of Self, the Mahabharata and Culture: The History of Understanding and Understanding of History explores the interrelationships between individual and cultural historical dynamics in interpreting texts, using key concepts from Bakhtins 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 Mahabharata. The problem addressed by Dialogics of Self, the Mahabharata and Culture 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, individuals 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.
