A Feeling for History? Bakhtin and `The Problem of Great Time' (2006)
Journal Article
(2006). A Feeling for History? Bakhtin and `The Problem of Great Time'

‘Great time’ has usually been seen as a ‘late term’ of Bakhtin’s. However, although it occurs most frequently in works written in the 1960s and 1970s, there is one known instance of its use in the 1940s. This confirms the close association between th...

It seems to be presumed by many that the simple multiplication of international organizations (IOs) weakens the unity and integrity of international law. There is, in reality, nothing obvious in this assumption. First, there needs to be evidence of d...
