A obra de François Rabelais e a cultura popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento

Bakhtin's analysis of carnival as a subversive force made me rethink the role of humor and chaos in storytelling. Did others see this as a celebration of rebellion or more as social critique?

His emphasis on the bodily and vulgar aspects of Rabelais’s work feels deliberate, but I'm curious about what led Bakhtin to see this as central to understanding his worldview.

The way Bakhtin describes language as inherently dialogic opened new perspectives for me on literary interpretation. I wonder how this influences modern literary analysis?
