Systemic Conception of the World: Biases of the Bakhtinian Intellectual Circle and the Semiotic School of Culture

Abstract

How can theoretical concepts which are organized to promote the understanding of sign systems of culture be envisaged by the dialogue which acknowledges controversies? This is the background question guiding this essay, which examines the views of dialogism as it confronts assumptions from the semiotics of culture. Without relativizing the criticism that supports the inferiority of the semiotic method, we seek to examine how, at the conceptual level, the viewpoints only touch the latitude of language as a semiotic problem of culture from a systemic conception.
