“…As noted above, Bakhtin's concepts of heteroglossia, polyphony, and double‐voicedness have sometimes been compared with the notion of ventriloquism, a comparison that was introduced by commentators and translators (Carroll, ; Samuelson, ; Wall, ). In Bakhtin's ( [1975]) Discourse in the Novel , we read: …a prose writer can distance himself from the language of his own work, while at the same time distancing himself, in varying degrees, from the different layers and aspects of the work.…”

Although Bakhtin's ideas have been mainly explored in the realm of literature and linguistics, his ideas of ventriloquation and polyphony could be mobilized to study the communicative constitution of reality, more generally. Using an excerpt taken from a conversation between two administrators, we show how various forms of ventriloquism actualize themselves in what they say and the way they say it. This kind of analysis amounts to questioning our traditional way of conceiving of discourse and interaction in general, especially in terms of their roles in the constitution of our world. The world we live in is a speaking and personified world; a world that comes to speak through us because people make it speak in a specific way. ]) was among the first to insist on the polyphonic and heteroglot nature of discourse. According to the Russian scholar, many voices can be heard and recognized in a text, whether via the various styles of expression used by an author, the choice of words, or the characters that talk in it. In a famous passage from "Discourse in the Novel," Bakhtin (1981 [1975]) writes:… there are no "neutral" words and forms-words and forms that can belong to "no one"; language has been completely taken over, shot through with intentions and accents. For any individual consciousness living in it, language is not an abstract system of normative forms but rather a concrete heteroglot conception of the world. All words have the "taste" of a profession, a genre, a tendency, a party, a particular work, a particular person, a generation, an age group, the day and hour. Each word tastes of the context and contexts in which it has lived its socially charged life; all words and forms are populated by intentions. Contextual overtones (generic, tendentious, individualistic) are inevitable in the word.

“…a(t) = 0 in the past or future would correspond to a singular big bang or big crunch, respectively, with infinite density ρ(z). As to the past, such extrapolation seems justified at least back to the first seconds after the big bang, given the success of big bang nucleosynthesis in accounting for the primordial light element abundances [32,33]. Regarding the very beginning, the jury is still out.…”

Space is not a boring static stage on which events unfold over time, but a dynamic entity with curvature, fluctuations, and a rich life of its own. Spectacular measurements of the cosmic microwave background, gravitational lensing, type Ia supernovae, large-scale structure, spectra of the Lyman alpha forest, stellar dynamics, and x-ray binaries are probing the properties of spacetime over 22 orders of magnitude in scale. Current measurements are consistent with an infinite flat everlasting universe containing about 30% cold dark matter, 65% dark energy, and at least two distinct populations of black holes.
“…Y esta articulación nos aporta una nueva construcción de conocimiento más allá de la conciencia teórica. En definitiva, cuando se cuestiona a la discursividad testimonial por su "subjetividad", se está cuestionando la articulación que se realiza entre tiempo y espacio; entre el sujeto y sus actos mentados y no mentados, es decir a la expresionalidad de los cronotopos (Carroll, 1983).…”
Section: El Testimonio Y Sus Posibilidadesunclassified
“…El lenguaje es construido por la Dialéctica y la Historia; contra eso se propone la fundación de la comunidad social en relación de sí mismo con el otro, con la alteridad. El lenguaje debemos verlo como diálogo, abordar el origen y el contexto, más que el adentro y el afuera, la relación entre la forma del discurso más que lo extrínseco e intrínseco (Carroll, 1983). Es el mal del estructuralismo, que ve el lenguaje como fórmula abstracta.…”
Section: Cuál Es La Aporía Del Testimoniounclassified
El presente documento expone una aproximación teórica respecto al testimonio, analizando su valor, formas y pertinencias como fuente de información y archivo para las Ciencias Sociales, especialmente la Historia. Se enfatiza en sus modos de producción, valorización y usos para considerar la subjetividad, la diversidad discursiva, la heterogeneidad social y la descolonización ante los discursos magistrales.Entorno, junio 2018, número 65: 7-14
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
