Summary

Situating Kristeva within the context of French feminism, this book guides through Kristeva's intellectual formation in linguistics, Freud, Lacan, and poetics. It shows that Kristeva's writings attempt to unravel the double-bind between static identity, or totalitarianism, on the one hand, and the loss of identity, or delirium, on the other.

Reading Kristeva Summary

" . . . a thorough, detailed, and critical analysis of the writings of Julia Kristeva." -Elizabeth Grosz

". . . the most involved and engaging study of Julia Kristeva's work to date . . ." -The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

This first full-scale feminist interpretation of Kristeva's work situates her within the context of French feminism.
