Julia Kristeva - Selected Works (5 books)

JULIA KRISTEVA (b. 1941) is a Bulgarian-French philosopher, literary critic, psychoanalyst, sociologist, feminist, and novelist who has lived in France since the mid-1960s.

Kristeva became influential in international critical analysis, cultural theory and feminism after publishing her first book Semeiotikè in 1969. Her sizable body of work includes books and essays which address intertextuality, the semiotic, and abjection, in the fields of linguistics, literary theory and criticism, psychoanalysis, biography and autobiography, political and cultural analysis, art and art history.

Together with Barthes, Todorov, Goldmann, Genette, Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Greimas, and Althusser, she stands as one of the foremost structuralists, in that time when structuralism took a major place in humanities. Her works also have an important place in post-structuralist thought.
