Bakhtin proposes that the novel in particular is an ideal medium that serves to study the interplay of many languages and ideologies. Taking that as a premise, the approach in the present discussion is historical-social, as it strives to trace three particular discourses in the short story: sexism, classism, and racism. The specific objective of the article is to prove that the dialogization of those discourses seeks, in a way, to point out the social and historical necessity to escape such oppressive systems.  El artículo analiza el famoso cuento “La caída de la Casa de Usher” desde la perspectiva de las teorías del lenguaje y la literatura de Mijaíl Bakhtín. Este teórico propone que el género de la novela en particular es el medio óptimo para el estudio del juego y de la interacción de muchos lenguajes e ideologías. Tomando sus ideas al respecto como punto de partida, el enfoque de esta discusión es socio-histórico, ya que intenta seguir el rastro de tres discursos ideológicos en concreto: el sexismo, el clasismo y el racismo. El objetivo específico del artículo es comprobar que la dialogización de dichos discursos busca en cierta manera señalar la necesidad social e histórica de escapar los sistemas de opresión que los producen.  Escuela de Lenguas Modernas, Universidad de Costa Rica2013-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleArtículoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/12666Journal Of Modern Languages; No. 17 (2012)Revista de Lenguas Modernas; Núm. 17 (2012)2215-56431659-1933reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRenghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rlm/article/view/12666/11919acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-04-21T16:08:11Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/12666Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:53:08.427Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
