Kristeva considers literature, translation, psychoanalysis, disability, gender, humanism, and universalism, among other topics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanging from literature and the visual arts to psychoanalysis, religion, the question of women, and politics, the essays gathered in this volume deal with the experience of time in birth and rebirth, with the time of events and emergencies and, no less, with the existential dimension of time as opposed to what technologies of sensation are programmed to make of it. In her inimitable and provocative signature style, Kristeva graces her readers with brilliant readings of texts, paintings, sculptures, artists, and political events. \u003ci\u003ePassions of \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOur Time\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent book. -- Verena Conley, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003eThe essays and interviews in \u003ci\u003ePassions of Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e not only thoughtfully extend and develop some of Kristeva's seminal ideas but also brilliantly address pressing contemporary issues, such as changing notions of motherhood, fatherhood, disability, and sexuality, and powerfully demonstrate that psychoanalysis is still relevant today.
