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.
The Portable Kristeva 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
The Sense and Non-Sense of Revolt,
Intimate Revolt, and
Hannah Arendt. Editor Kelly Oliver has also added new material to the introduction, summarizing Kristeva’s latest intellectual endeavors and updating the bibliography.
