Boris Schnaiderman and Mikhail Bakhtin

Abstract

Geraldo Tadeu Souza, a professor at UFSCar/Sorocaba, interviewed Boris Schnaiderman on December 18, 2008. The interview was done especially for the book Bakhtin, dialogismo e polifonia [Bakhtin, dialogism and polyphony] (BRAIT, B. (org.). São Paulo: Contexto, 2009, pp.225-239, whose introduction, edition and notes were done by the book’s editor. Cf. the website for the book: http://editoracontexto.com.br/bakhtin-dialogismo-e-polifonia.html Editora Contexto [Contexto Publishing House] has kindly granted us the permission to publish the text, presented here with a few adjustments, so we can pay posthumous tribute to Boris Schnaiderman (17/05/1917-18/05/2016).
