Part of our ongoing series on Structuralism, this lecture reads part one of Bakhtin's "Forms of Time and Chronotope in the Novel" while contextualizing its place in twentieth-century literary and theoretical thought. It briefly discusses chronotopes in Jesmyn Ward's recent novel, "Sing, Unburied, Sing" and African American use of ghosts.
