Obviously in Academia, dissenting ideas get published regularly,

Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea is a response to Charlotte Bronte's Jane
Eyre, and Golding's The Lord of the Flies is a response to Stevenson's
Treasure Island.

Those are just a couple of examples that immediately come to mind. There
are certainly others, but I can't think of them offhand. This kind of
response to another text is sometimes called "talking back", especially
in the feminist and postcolonial contexts (i.e., when voices that had
hitherto been suppressed find expression).
