Description

Book Synopsis
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.
