As a linguist, Julia Kristeva has helped to pioneer a revolutionary theory of the sign in its relation to social and political emancipation; as a practising psychoanalyst, she has produced work on the nature of the human subject and sexuality, and on the new "maladies" of today´s neurotic. This text is a compilation of Kristeva´s key writings. This edition includes material from her most significant works from the turn of the 21st century, including "The Sense and Non-Sense of Revolt", "Intimate Revolt" and "Hannah Arendt".
