Abstract
This study presents elements about the conditions of reading, reception, and exegesis of Bakhtinian work in Brazil. For this purpose, it raises some biographical aspects of Bakhtin, Volochinov, and Medvedev, as well as a brief historical overview in respect of the reception of their texts in France, especially in the late ‘60s with Julia Kristeva. In addition, it analyzes four paratexts of works by some authors from the Bakhtin Circle with which we discussed the conditions of reading by investigating translation and reception matters. At the end, based on Beth Brait’s contributions, there is a reading of Bakhtinian work with a focus on the Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA).
