  text: 'This article presents analyses of excerpts from a study on writing conducted
    in a dialogical perspective. The study’s material was collected by the auto-confrontation
    method: writers were videotaped during their work and afterwards confronted with
    their writing activities. Microanalysis of the material attends to how inner dialogues
    during writing are “refracted” (Voloshinov) in auto-confrontation. Bakhtin’s notion
    of the chronotope (time-and-space) as the main tool of analysis helps to discern
    the changing contexts and position constellations utterances are valid for. It
    thus sheds light on the positioning movements performed by the writing selves
    through language. The analyses show various utterance movements traversing the
    chronotopes involved, ranging from refractions of movements between the writers’
    inner dialogues and their texts to retrospective imperatives with a developmental
    potential. This “dialogical volume” of speech activity presenting itself in writing
    can contribute to our understanding of the interplay of language and the self.'
