Bakhtin and the Chronotope

There are theoretical concepts that, due to their strength and versatility, take the risk of becoming victims of their own
success. Mikhail Bakhtin’s “chronotope” is undoubtedly one of these concepts. Often reduced to a mere classificatory label or
a scholarly synonym for “setting”, sometimes loses its original power to reveal how reality is assimilated by art. The book
you hold in your hands was born precisely from the need to rediscover that potency.
