Overview
A collection of 22 interviews and one personal essay, Julia Kristeva Interviews presents an intimate and accessible portrait of one of France's most important critical thinkers and intellectual personalities.
Columbia University Press
Synopsis
Includes twenty-two interviews—many appearing here for the first time in English and one conducted expressly for this volume. These provocative discussions with key figures in contemporary arts and letters touch upon topics as diverse as the American literary academy, Proust, neuroscience, and the American Left. The interviews elucidate such difficult ideas as abjection, intertextuality, the semiotic and the symbolic, and the effect of aesthetic revolution on social change.
Editorials
Journal for the Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society
It is perhaps edifying to take Kristeva's work as a whole, in order that we may best consider her complex balances of interdisciplinary concerns. In his recent collection of Kristeva's interviews, Ross Mitchell Guberman gives us the opportunity to do just that, in a space that affords us, additionally, a fresh perspective on this theorist's personal and intellectual developments.
