Abstract

This chapter discusses dialogic space theory. It will describe the philosophical and historical roots of the theory by discussing some of the work of Hegal and Karl Marx and goes on to explore Bakhtin's significant contribution to work on dialogic space theory. The chapter will discuss some contrasting contemporary applications of the theory within educational settings, including the work of Paulo Freire. Throughout this chapter democracy, politics, power and equality recur as themes which consistently challenge and problematize the essential tenants of dialogic space theory when it is applied in contemporary school situations.
