Modernism in Settings
This book is analytical and often critical about the subject it investigates, including literary and cultural aesthetics, social and political literatures, national identity speeches, and the psychoanalytic theory of language. Modernism in Settings attempts to reevaluate some important debates in those fields either from the 19th-20th centuries or otherwise Debates at that at the time often failed to take into consideration their full philosophical, social, theological or political implications. The book is primarily aimed at teachers and researchers interested in issues related to modernism within humanities and cultural studies. It discusses works by writers including James Joyce and Edgar Allan Poe, and philosophers and critics including Julia Kristeva and Wolf Lepenies; and covers issues including feminism, technology, and psychoanalysis.
"Revolution in Poetic Language" Fifty Years Later
In her 1974 Revolution in Poetic Language, Julia Kristeva resisted the abstract use of language, with its aim of totalization and finality, in all its colonizing and alienating forms. A major thinker and critic, Kristeva reappropriated Hegel's concepts of desire and negativity, in conjunction with the thought of Heidegger, Arendt, Freud, and Lacan, to revolt against modernity's culture of nihilism and the West's inability to deal with loss. This collection celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Revolution in Poetic Language by revisiting Kristeva's oeuvre and establishing exciting new directions in Kristeva studies. Engaging with queer and transgender studies, disability studies, decolonial studies, and more, renowned and rising scholars plot continuities in—and push the boundaries of—Kristeva's thinking about loss, revolution, and revolt. The volume also includes two essays by Kristeva, translated into English for the first time here—"The Impossibility of Loss" (1988) and "Of What Use Are Poets in Times of Distress?" (2016).

Kristeva
Julia Kristeva is one of the most creative and prolific writers to address the personal, social, and political trials of our times. Linguist, psychoanalyst, social and cultural theorist, and novelist, Kristeva's broad interdisciplinary appeal has impacted areas across the humanities and social sciences. S. K. Keltner's book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the breadth of Kristeva's work. In an original and insightful analysis, Keltner presents Kristeva's thought as the coherent development and elaboration of a complex, multidimensional threshold constitutive of meaning and subjectivity. The ‘threshold' indicates Kristeva's primary sphere of concern, the relationship between...
