I would like to thank Bill Penuel and Jay Lemke for their suggestions
about where to find Bakhtin's discussion of monologic and heteroglossic
discourse. Also for Jay's reference to Barthes. In addition to these
theoretical sources, I'm wondering whether anyone has applied these ideas
to conversational analysis--especially classroom discourse analysis. In
particular, I'm interested in demonstrations of the statement by Jay that
a text "can orchestrate multiple voices so that frame becomes negotiated
and contingent and highly visible." I'm interested because the classroom
discourse work that I'm engaged in at the moment seems to involve, at
times, this kind of orchestration and other times an orchestration that
is much more monologic.
