BRAIT, Beth. Otherness, dialogism, heterogeneity: the other is not always the same. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.4, pp.85-97. ISSN 0486-641X.

This article aims at presenting the Bakhtinian thought as a group of different sets of knowledge produced, in dialogue, by intellectuals, scientists, and artists who were born at the end of czarism and who are, even today, of interest to the Human Sciences, Linguistics, and Literature. Especially in the 1920s, they were involved in important debates, interested in presenting new theoretical approaches to language, discourse, esthetics, philosophy, and ethics, polemically discussing with orthodox Marxism, with domineering tendencies both in psychology and in philosophy, with structuralism, stylistics, formalism, and even with emerging psychoanalysis. The author who characterizes this thinking and lends his name to it, MikhaïlMikhálovich Bakhtin (1895-1975), can be characterized as the language philosopher. He lived and produced until the 1970s. Among the concepts which have reached the 21^st century is dialogism, based on the I/other constitutive relation, which is the support for this dialogic perspective in life and in language.

Keywords : bakhtinian thought; the circle; dialogism; the other; polyphony.
