Kristeva’s depiction of contrariety and anomaly at the heart of postmodernist theory is ingenious, provocative, and challenging.

Contemporary Literature

An important work for students of cultural processes and anyone interested in a semiotic approach to the problems of cultural history.

- Hayden White, Journal of Modern History

A provocative rereading of a diverse and crucial canon.

Criticism

Desire in Language presents a selection of Julia Kristeva’s essays that trace the path of an investigation, extending over a period of ten years, into the semiotics of literature and the arts. Probing beyond the claims of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, and others, Kristeva proposes and tests theories centered on the nature and development of the novel, and on what she has defined as a signifying practice in poetic language and pictural works. Desire in Language fully shows what Roman Jakobson has called Kristeva’s “genuine gift of questioning generally adopted ‘axioms,’ and her contrary gift of releasing various ‘damned questions’ from their traditional question marks.”
