Brecht, Barthes, Bakhtin, & Baudrillard

Like Bakhtin, Brecht wanted to extend "polyphonic artistic thinking" well beyond ....Following the literal shift in the location of action and .... of self-conscious theatricality support and extend the play's consistently ironic ...
Abstract
The alienation value of Brecht's early play Drums in the Night has been ignored, dismissed, and co-opted. By reciprocally engaging Drums in the Night and Bakhtin's theory of the novel, however, we can see its radically dialogic structure, appreciate its alienation value, and reappropriate its prerevolutionary dimensions for contemporary use. We can, moreover, project directions for developing a rhetoric of performed narrative consistent with both Brecht's and Bakhtin's dialogic ideal.

ArtCat - Chelsea - Derek Eller Gallery - Dominic McGill, FuturePerfect by ArtCat
Dominic McGill’s exhibition FuturePerfect explores the construction and representation of history through epic works in graphite. Interested in Baudrillard’s concept of the collapse of historical linearity due to the speed of information, McGill constructs vivid timelines of text and imagery that have no beginning and no end. As McGill explains the show’s title: “The Future Perfect tense allows us to talk of the past in the future. If linearity has collapsed, then we can talk about the future by referencing the past and vice-versa”.
