'HISTOIRE CONVERSATIONNELLE'. CASE STUDY: BAKHTIN DIALOGUE WITH DUVAKIN

On the basis of W. Duvakin's 'Conversations avec Bakhtine' (Conversation with Bakhtin) the authoress describes, as a case study, the conversational history of the above-mentioned persons. She claims that the conversational history comprises: characters of participants and their relations which change during the interaction, circumstances of the meeting, memory markers allowing for the construction of a thematic coherence. Assuming that the analyzed conversation represented a historical narration, the participant's memory (or lack of memory) appears to be an important cognitive category.
