Abstract
Bakhtinian hermeneutics did not develop as part of a specific “hermeneutic” discipline, but as an integral aspect of his philosophical anthropology based on communication. Texts,seen as the products of intentional or ethical acts, are conceived as statements that accompany parallel acts, or even constitute acts in themselves. This article aims at understanding the process through which Bakhtin developed a phenomenology of comprehension based on the interpretation of communicative acts embodied in the text, unlike traditional hermeneutics. Bakhtin’s dialogism is self-referred and oriented towards the other person speech, in a specific chronotope. The concept of carnival, a variant of the communicative process which encompasses the sacred and the profane, is also an intrinsic aspect of Bakhtin’s anthropological philosophy.
