Mikhail Bakhtin wrote "The understanding itself as dialogic element enters the dialogic system and somehow changes its total sense. The one that understands inevitably becomes “the third” in the dialogue (of course not in a literal or arithmetic sense, because the number of participants in the dialogue that is understood can be unlimited, besides “the third”); however, the dialogic position of the “third” is a very particular position. Every utterance has always its addressee (of different characters, different levels of proximity, specificity, awareness etc.), whose responsive understanding is searched for and anticipated by the author of discursive product. This is “the second” (again not in arithmetic sense). But the author presupposes besides this addressee (“the second”) more or less consciously the supreme “super-addressee” (“the third”), whose absolutely righteous responsive act is foreseen either in the metaphysical distance or in distant historic time (addressee as “side or last exit” for the thought and word of the addresser)."
I invite you to present your vision/interpretation of the concept of "super addressee" in the educational context based on your own or your colleague's experience. Thank you in advance!
