Language: The Unknown by Julia Kristeva

Language: The Unknown by Julia Kristeva

In this wide-ranging introduction, Julia Kristeva presents the evolution and emergence of linguistics.

[Kristeva's] graceful and lucid history of language ranges over vast intellectual territory—Egyptian hieroglyphs to psychoanalytic discourse, Crates of Mallos to Benveniste to Lévi-Strauss and LacanGuaranteed jargon-free. * Voice Literary Supplement *
It is a pleasure to read a study that maintains a sophisticated theoretical stance with such clarity, care, and intellectual brilliance. -- Lawrence Kritzman
Stimulating and eminently readable. * Signs *
