This is an excerpt from Charles Platter's book "Aristophanes and the Carnival of Genres", which examines the works of the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes through the lens of Mikhail Bakhtin's theories on carnival and dialogism. Platter argues that Aristophanes' comedies, which are known for their use of parody, obscenity, and topical humor, are best understood as a "carnival of genres" where various forms of discourse—epic, tragic, iambic, and oracular—intertwine and challenge each other. He explores how this "dialogic" interplay between genres creates a complex and multi-layered comic effect that subverts traditional notions of authority and genre. The author also analyzes specific passages from Aristophanes' plays to illustrate how stylistic incongruity, intertextuality, and audience expectation all contribute to the overall comic impact.
