These are just notes that I compiled...I follow what I thought to be his most essential points in a chronological reading of the essay...it's a very dense, very rich text. I really like Bakhtin...I think he really makes literary criticism into a viable pragmatic and analytic engagement with the social and political field. Bakhtin's understanding of event as he uses it in relation to the chronotope is almost diametrically opposed to Badiou's notion as worked out in Being and Event. The event is always rare, at any case, but for Bakhtin, the chronotope actually seems to be talking about a topological phenomenology of the event through its historical development in the social unconscious, etc. etc. It reminds me of Guattari especially, though I think the Proust reading shows Guattari doing what I mentioned above: engaging literary criticism in a real way that connects it flush with the social and political environment...He does say that refrains in some way construct their own spatial-temporal modalities, etc. Could the chronotope indicate molar, molecular and abstract consistencies? etc... I definitely should. These are just notes that I compiled…I follow what I thought to be his most essential points in a chronological reading of the essay…it’s a very dense, very rich text.
