Will Beaman (@agoingaccount) inaugurates the first of a lecture series on the work and ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin. Drawing parallels with right wing attacks on contemporary drag performance and ballroom traditions, Will discusses Bakhtin\\u2019s analysis of the Medieval carnival humor, its manifestation in Renaissance literature, and its unique aesthetics of what he terms \\u201cgrotesque realism.\\u201d Quotations are drawn from the Introduction and first chapter of Bakhtin\\u2019s text, Rabelais and His World (1965), with additional references made to Siegfried Kracauer\\u2019s 1927 essay \\u201cThe Mass Ornament\\u201d and Marx\\u2019s Capital.\\xa0
