Abstract
It will be remembered that I am addressing Bakhtin’s reluctance to acknowledge in the theatre the same potential for dialogue between worlds that he finds in the novel, and Todorov’s observations concerning the failure of the human community to reckon with otherness in its midst. And I am doing so within the single matrix of dramatizations of the conquest of Mexico.
