Revolt, Affect, Collectivity: The Unstable Boundaries Of Kristeva's Polis - Tina Chanter, Ewa Plonowska Ziarek

State University of New York Press | 217 Pages | 2005-10-06 | ISBN 0791465675 | PDF | 0,6 MB

Kristeva’s varied and voluminous corpus is still growing, and critical commentary has not yet caught up with her most recent concerns. Focusing largely on Kristeva’s most recent work, this collection of original essays examines a number of interconnected strands, in particular, Kristeva’s reevaluation of the concept of revolt, crucial to her early work, in the context of the changing cultural and political conditions in the West; the questions of the stranger, race, and nation; Kristeva’s reflections on narrative, public spaces, and collectivity in the context of her engagement with Hannah Arendt’s work; and finally, Kristeva’s development and refinement of the notions of abjection, melancholia, and narcissism, which proved so central to her work in the 1980s, in her ongoing interrogation of aesthetics. A particular focus of two essays in this volume is a hitherto neglected area of Kristeva’s work, namely her contribution to film theory, within the parameters of these psychic states.
