Abstract

Mikhail Bakhtin's and Jacques Rancière's theories can help educators understand students' texts in today's remixed, participatory culture. Specifically, this chapter will focus on two key terms: Bakhtin's heteroglossia and Rancière's emancipated spectator. First, the aforementioned terms will be defined in relation to the authors' ideas and applied to literacy education. Then, these ideas will be connected to how authors and texts are shaped by remixing within a participatory culture. Next, Bakhtin's and Rancière's works will be discussed to understand how they speak to each other concerning remixing in a participatory culture, pulling from examples from the research literature. Finally, it will be important to consider the implications of their work for literacy educators and researchers.
