Book Description
As a linguist, Julia Kristeva has helped to pioneer a revolutionary theory of the sign in its relation to social and political emancipation; as a practising psychoanalyst, she has produced work on the nature of the human subject and sexuality, and on the new “maladies” of today’s neurotic. This text is a compilation of Kristeva’s key writings. This edition includes material from her most significant works from the turn of the 21st century, including “The Sense and Non-Sense of Revolt”, “Intimate Revolt” and “Hannah Arendt”.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[Kristeva’s] work is entirely new, accurate, not through scientific puritanism but because it takes up all the space it deals with, fills it precisely, making it necessary for anyone who counts himself out to reveal himself as an opponent or a censor.” – Roland Barthes “It has been apparent for some time that Julia Kristeva has inherited the intellectual throne left vacant by the death of Simone de Beauvoir.” – Elaine Showalter
