![]() ![]() Bakhtin’s theory should be framed within a broader postmodern belief that culture is in essence centered around dialogue, polyphony, and innovation and therefore has a particular political potential. As such, it is an expression of a living and transgressive aesthetic that manifests itself in relation to power structures, ideologies, and institutions. Its most important feature, however, is the temporary suspension and subversion of supposedly fixed norms and boundaries - meaning that the dead can resurrect and fools can become kings. The carnivalesque mode is characterized by laughter, the profane, exuberance, and the presence of “grotesque” bodies. In Rabelais and His World (1984), Mikhail Bakhtin traced the influence of the carnival and the “carnivalesque” in European early modern culture, ranging from the market space to literary works.

Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewelry empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wants-but it's going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattan's upper class stop treating her like an outsider.
