Features: This book traces the life and career of the French psychoanalyst Kristeva and her thoughts. Kristeva (1941–) is a French thinker and psychoanalyst, and a professor at Paris Diderot University. At the age of twenty-five, she came to France from Bulgaria and participated in Barthes' lectures, quickly gaining prominence. By focusing on the developmental process of meaning-generating activities, she critiqued the then-dominant structuralism, opening up new research fields in textual theory and semiotics. She further incorporated psychoanalysis and feminism into her research, and attempted to dissect the rigidity of modern society. Her major works include Semiotics, The Revolution of Poetic Language, Multilogic, The Power of Horror, and The History of Love = Story.
