“…One might suspect that the concept was so broad as to be of questionable utility. The concept has been applied to the motion picture Rocky (Widenfeld, 2016), as well as to a host of television and radio programs such as the Jackie Gleason show from back in the 1950s (Wexman, 1990), British comedy from that same decade (Sobchak, 1996), the reality programs America's Next Top Model (Patton & Snyder-Yuly, 2012) and Big Sexy (Zimdars, 2015), CBC's Randy's Vinyl Tap (Svec, 2020), past and present efforts by Stephen Colbert (Meddaugh, 2010), the television series South Park (Halsall, 2008), and radio satire thought to be obscene (Armstrong, 2012). The concept has been applied to internet satire (Theall, 1999) and internet blogs (McLean & Wallace, 2013) as well as to literary works by Indian author Volga (Kamble, 2019) and British authors William Shakespeare (Termiji, 2015) and J. M. Barrie (Filimon, 2013).…”

The theoretical insights of Mikhail Bakhtin offer the rhetorical critic of demonstrations and the social movements they are often a part of a useful analytical tool. Bakhtin’s focus on polyphony, particularly the type he termed “passive varidirectional” in his study of Dostoevsky, dovetails with his exploration of the “carnivalesque” as a popular culture and literary mode to offer a subversive rhetoric intended to undermine hegemony. Extant studies of Bakhtin by rhetoricians have bogged down in trying to make sense of his “messy” canon and, perhaps as a result, inadequately understood this subversive rhetoric. After offering an overall reading of Bakhtin and a sense of how the concept of “carnivalesque” has been used by critics, this essay will enrich that concept by applying it to the events of 2020 and 2021 and arguing that, to grasp the critical tool Bakhtin has offered critics, one must recognize (1) its political neutrality, (2) the possible varieties of “ carnivalesque,” (3) the place of violence in the “carnivalesque,” and (4) the new and subtle ways the body plays a rhetorical role in it. The events of 2020–2021 enable the critic to acquire a more nuanced understanding of Bakhtin’s rhetorical insights.

When the dial goes Dylan: ‘premium’ radio, hybrid authenticity and Theme Time Radio Hour

This article explores the construction of hybrid authenticity by Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, an XM Radio programme that aired between 2006 and 2009. Dylan's foray into radio presents compelling questions about the role of his star image in advancing a corporate strategy of premium radio that requires subscription access. Through narration and curation, a performed freeform radio format and fragments of radio history, Dylan's celebrity, voice and status as a vehicle for understanding the ‘American song tradition’ are solidified within the context of subscription satellite radio. In advance of the dominance of subscription streaming listening that companies like Spotify are now known for, Dylan's radio programme and recorded music of this period contribute to XM Radio's efforts to distinguish the satellite service from ‘traditional’ commercial format radio and to entice music listeners to become subscribers.
