The Portable Kristeva, Second Edition

The Portable Kristeva, Second Edition

As a linguist, Julia Kristeva has pioneered a revolutionary theory of the sign in its relation to social and political emancipation; as a practicing psychoanalyst, she has produced work on the nature of the human subject and sexuality, and on the "new maladies" of today's neurotic. <i>The Portable Kristeva</i> is the only fully comprehensive compilation of Kristeva's key writings. The second edition includes added material from Kristeva's most important works of the past five years, including <i>The Sense and Non-Sense of Revolt</i>, <i>Intimate Revolt</i>, and <i>Hannah Arendt</i>. Editor Kelly Oliver has also added new material to the introduction, summarizing Kristeva's latest intellectual endeavors and updating the bibliography.
