Abstract

ABSTRACT Many studies have focused on the contributions and/or convergences among the ideas of Bakhtin, Vološinov and Medvedev, and other authors. Brazilian and foreign researchers have shown convergences between the thought of the German philosopher Ernst Cassirer and the aforementioned Russian thinkers. Cassirer problematizes what would give unity to culture, and this is a problem with which Bakhtin, Vološinov and Medvedev are also concerned. Thus, this article analyzes how this question (“what gives unity to culture?”) was answered, seeking convergences among thoughts. We have gone through some of Cassirer’s writings to show how the philosopher has analyzed culture from a unity constituted by symbolization. Next, we see how this issue was addressed by Medvedev and Vološinov. Finally, we seek the way in which Bakhtin sought to understand cultural unity in the essay “The problem of content, material and form”.

论文化的统一性:卡西尔、梅德韦杰夫、沃洛什诺夫与巴赫金的对话

许多研究都集中在巴赫金、Vološinov和梅德韦杰夫等人思想的贡献和/或趋同上。巴西和国外的研究人员已经发现，德国哲学家恩斯特·卡西尔(Ernst Cassirer)的思想与上述俄罗斯思想家的思想有一些共通之处。Cassirer对什么能给文化带来统一提出了质疑，这也是巴赫金、Vološinov和梅德韦杰夫也关心的问题。因此，本文分析了如何回答这个问题(“什么赋予文化统一性?”)，寻求思想之间的趋同。我们已经通过卡西尔的一些著作来展示这位哲学家是如何从一个由符号化构成的统一体来分析文化的。接下来，我们看看梅德韦杰夫和Vološinov是如何解决这个问题的。最后，我们在巴赫金的文章“内容、材料和形式的问题”中寻求理解文化统一的方式。
