Sylvie Gambaudo

Kristeva, Psychoanalysis and Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Subjectivity in Crisis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Examining Julia Kristeva's contention that contemporary Western society is witnessing a crisis of subjectivity due to the failure of the paternal function, Gambaudo places Kristeva's thesis within the context of Freudian psychoanalytic thought and shows how Kristeva defends her position against a cultural climate privileging scientific and cognitive answers to aesthetic concerns.
