Sylvie Gambaudo

Kristeva, Psychoanalysis and Culture

Subjectivity in Crisis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examining Julia Kristeväs contention that contemporary Western society is witnessing a crisis of subjectivity due to the failure of the paternal function, Gambaudo places Kristeväs 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.
