The article analyzes a lesser-known text of Mikhail Bakhtin’s “On Flaubert”. While this inquiry pays particular attention to the significance of Bakhtin’s carnivalesque reading of Rabelais for his reading of Flaubert, it also treats the fragment in the broader context of Bakhtin’s philosophy. The article argues that Bakhtin’s approach to Flaubert is apophatic in nature. For Bakhtin, The Temptation of Saint Anthony is the most important text of Flaubert, and through its ascetic aesthetic, he interprets all other novels of Flaubert. The significance of animals in Flaubert emerges as an important theme for Bakhtin, who believes the image of the beast constitutes the unconscious center of Flaubert’s thought. The topic of the beast leads Bakhtin to the theme of pity, which for him is fundamentally different from the sentimentalized and thus inevitably self-centered compassion.

The article is devoted to the evolution of landscape descriptions in the early works of Flaubert, created before the novel Madame Bovary . It analyzes the formation of the technique of landscape descriptions and the transformation of its functions from landscape sketches in the exposition of the first literary experiments of 1835-1836 to the lyrical landscapes of the psychological tale Passion and Virtue (1837) with their compositional and plot-forming functions, and to pantheistic landscapes and landscape-reminiscences in Flaubert’s early autobiographical cycle: the mystery play Smar (1839), the novel Memoirs of a Madman (1839) and November, fragments in an indefinite style (1842), where the landscape becomes the basis of the artistic space of the autobiographical text and a way of expressing inner experience the author, his ontological and aesthetic ideas.

The article discusses the probable genesis of the episode with the amputation of Anatol Kuragin’s leg in War and Peace by L.N. Tolstoy. It is indicated that this episode may be connected with the writings of brothers S.N. and F.N. Glinka about the war of 1812 and the Battle of Borodino. The comparison of the brothers’ works to the book of L.N. Tolstoy shows that the author of War and Peace denies to esthetize and glorify war by showing pain and sufferings. Unlike the authors who adhere to traditional battle poetics in their texts about the war of 1812, Tolstoy proceeds from the idea of a person’s natural behavior and gives the episode a psychological dimension describing what’s going on from the point of view of Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. The plot poetics of War and Peace is connected with the settings of the so-called realistic novel and differs significantly from the plot construction which is typical for the West European and Russian historical novel.

The folklore fairy ballad can show the universally psychological base of the author’s continuation in the novel hero, that was described by M.M. Bakhtin. On the one hand, the ballad had reflected the evolution of the initiatory relations with the personified fairy Nature and its agent in the various folklore genres. The result of this evolution, including under the influence of the church, would the mutual lovely attraction, that had assumed the total self-continuing in each other as the antipodes. On the other hand, the ballad lyricism had allowed the executor to identify himself in the hero and to continue himself in the hero’s face in the fairy counterparty. The hero of the social-psychological novel had replaced for the author the fairy counterparty. But the self-continuing in the hero gad lost its initiatory base and so was no more reflected.

In the article a short biography of Pavel Nikolaevich Medvedev is demonstrated from the standpoint of his participation in Bakhtin’s circle and his publications under his own name a number of Bakhtin’s works, begun by the methodological article “Scientific Salierism” (1925), continued with reviews of the books of V. Shklovsky and B. Tomashevsky, a detailed replica “Sociologism without sociology” on the occasion of P.N. Sakulin’s monograph “Sociological method in literary criticism” (1925) and brought to great methodological clarity by the book “The Formal Method in Literary Criticism. A Critical Introduction to Sociological Poetics” (1928). The Medvedev’s management has been emphasized in the publication of these works, as well as the books “Freudianism. A Critical Sketch” (1927), “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language. Fundamental Problems of the Sociological Method in the Science of Language” (1929) and the several articles and reviews published under the title authorship of Voloshinov, and the book under the clear authorship of Bakhtin “Problems of Dostoevsky’s Creation” (1929). The mediating role of Medvedev between the authorities and the intelligentsia in Vitebsk and Leningrad in the 1920 s - 1930 s is presented.

The ideas of the Bakhtin Circle, specifically those of Bakhtin and Tubianskii are discussed with regard to the contemporary project to de-colonise the university curriculum. The anti-colonial aspects of the work of the circle, which are mainly implicit rather than explicitly stated, are emphasised in relation to the semantic palaeontology Bakhtin adopted and developed from scholars such as Marr, Frank-Kamenetskii and Freidenberg on the one hand and Tubianskii’s discussion of the ideas of Tagore on the other. Links with the early anti-caste movement and contemporary Soviet Indology are drawn and are contrasted with perspectives current in so-called “subaltern studies”. It is suggested that, suitably revised and developed, Bakhtinian ideas can contribute to combatting colonial bases within universities.
