PERUS, Françoise. Possibilities and Impossibilities of Sociocultural Dialogism in Spanish American Literature. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2009, n.21, pp.181-218. ISSN 2594-0619.

This essay tries to define the different spheres of relevance for the Bakhtinian categories of dialogism, monologism and polyphony as well as those of utterance, image and voice. The author establishes the ranges and limitations of these notions in order to study Spanish American narrative practices and exemplifies the problems found in the study of the story "Luvina" by Juan Rulfo.
