BAKHTIN CENTRE
Welcome to the University of Sheffield's Bakhtin Centre: A Centre for Research
into the History of Cultural Theory.
Off
OVERVIEW
The Bakhtin Centre was founded in October 1994 with support from the University
of Sheffield's New Academic Developments Fund, Humanities Research Institute and
Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies. The Centre's Director was Professor
David Shepherd of the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies, who was
succeeded by Professor Craig Brandist in 2008.
The Centre's original purpose was to promote multi- and inter-disciplinary
research on the work of the Russian philosopher and theorist Mikhail Bakhtin and
the Bakhtin Circle and on related areas of cultural, critical, linguistic and
literary theory.
Its scope thus already extended beyond the limits of traditional Russian and
Slavic studies and as the Centre has developed and research has proceeded, it
had moved beyond a limited focus on the Bakhtin Circle to embrace the study of
the development of theories of culture in Russia and the USSR, and to related
fields.
This approach is reflected in the projects pursued by the Centre:
* A fully searchable Analytical Database of Work by and about the Bakhtin
Circle.
* An ongoing project exploring the intellectual affiliations of the Bakhtin
Circle's work through a variety of publications.
* 'The Rise of Sociological Linguistics in the Soviet Union, 1917–1938:
Institutions, Ideas and Agendas', an AHRC-funded project under the direction
of Dr Craig Brandist.
* The Tzvetan Todorov project, which will lead to an intellectual biography of
the French thinker written by Dr Karine Zbinden, Honorary Research Fellow in
the Centre.
The Centre also runs e-mail news and discussion lists dealing with the work of
Bakhtin and the Bakhtin Circle and of Tzvetan Todorov.
The Centre holds a special research collection of materials in several
languages, but especially rich in Russian and English.
The Centre maintains informal links with researchers in many countries and has
formal agreements on collaboration with the University of Lausanne, Switzerland
and the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
From 1998 to 2001 the Centre published Dialogism: An International Journal of
Bakhtin Studies.

CARYL EMERSON
ON MIKHAIL BAKHTIN AND HUMAN STUDIES
(WITH CONTINUAL REFERENCE TO MOSCOW AND SHEFFIELD)
Professor Emerson’s lecture, on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Russian
and Slavonic Studies at the University of Sheffield, addressed some of the
following questions:
• What human studies (and in particular the study of literary culture and value)
can hope to do;
• How the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin can help us to do it;
• How scholars at Sheffield pursue a “philosophy of the human” through a Russian
and Slavonic lens.
Every vital field that is perceived as failing to provide basic services or
commercially viable goods is destined to be in a permanent “value crisis.” But
repeating the mantra of a “crisis of the humanities” is a sorry way to approach
the challenges of one’s job.
The task, rather, was to argue for the absolute necessity of certain threatened
virtues: a serious study of world languages, human dignity as a cognitive value,
organic as opposed to mechanical systems, and the empirical benefits of patience
and real (deep) time.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Caryl Emerson is A. Watson Armour III University Professor Emeritus of Slavic
Languages and Literatures Emerita at Princeton University. She has written on
the work of Mikhail Bakhtin in a number of prominent publications including her
seminal book Mikhail Bakhtin: Creation of a Prosaics (with Gary Saul Morson,
1990) and The First Hundred Years of Mikhail Bakhtin (1997) and translated texts
such as Bakhtin’s Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics (1984) and the collection The
Dialogic Imagination (with Michael Holquist, 1981). She has also written widely
on nineteenth-century Russian literature and opera, resulting in such works
as The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Literature (2008) and All the Same the
Words Don’t Go Away (Essays on Authors, Heroes, Aesthetics, and Stage
Adaptations from the Russian Tradition) (2011).
The lecture took place at 4pm, Friday 28 October 2016
Followed by wine reception
Humanities Research Institute
Gell St. Sheffield.
An audio recording of the lecture is available here.
