Noëlle McAfee explains key concepts such as the semiotic and symbolic, abjection, melancholia, and revolt, while situating them within relevant historical and theoretical contexts. The book clarifies difficult aspects of Kristeva’s work for first-time readers and helps more informed readers re-familiarize themselves with essential terms and their impact on literary studies and critical theory.","JULIA  \nKRIST EVA  \nOne of the most original thinkers of our time, Julia Kristeva has been a leading force in the fields of literary and cultural studies, psychoanalysis, semiotics, feminist theory, and philosophy. This book gives a lively and lucid account of Kristeva’s most important ideas, including her concepts of the semiotic and symbolic, abjection, melancholia, and revolt. Noëlle McAfee provides clear explanations of the more difficult aspects of Kristeva’s work, helpfully placing her ideas in the relevant theoretical contexts, and examining their impact on literary studies and critical theory.  \nJulia Kristeva is the essential guide for readers who are approaching the work of this challenging thinker for the first time and it provides the ideal opportunity for those with more knowledge to re-familiarize themselves with Kristeva’s key terms.  \nNoëlle McAfee is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and the Associate Editor of the Kettering Review. She is the author of Habermas, Kristeva, and Citizenship (2000) .  \nROUTLEDGE CRITICAL THINKERS  \nSeries Editor: Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London  \nRoutledge Critical Thinkers is a series of accessible introductions to key figures in contemporary critical thought.  \nWith a unique focus on historical and intellectual contexts, each volume examines a key theorist’s:  \n• significance  \n• motivation  \n• key ideas and their sources  \n• impact on other thinkers  \nConcluding with extensively annotated guides to further reading, Routledge Critical Thinkers are the student’s passport to today’s most exciting critical thought.  \nAlready available:  \nRoland Barthes by Graham Allen Jean Baudrillard by Richard J.
