{"product_id":"crisis-of-the-european-subject-isbn-9781892746474","title":"Crisis of the European Subject","description":"A gem of a personal exploration by Julia Kristeva, examining contemporary issues  such as European identity, the role of religion in political life, and the meaning  of equality for women.\"In these four packed meditations, bursting with intellectual  vitality, Kristeva comes forth as an erudite as well as a personal, political, religious,  and philosophical thinker, without relinquishing her (un)usual, exquisite poetic  style. Engaging the issue of the contemporary failure of oedipal subjectivity and  attacking our era of technology and robotization, she bravely calls for a return  to the origins of our cultural memory. This is a provocative book for intellectuals  of every stripe.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e -Frances L. Restuccia, Boston College, author of Melancholics in  Love \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"The essays in this collection again prove that Julia Kristeva is one of the  most profound and courageous thinkers of our time. From her intimate reading of Hannah  Arendt to her diagnosis of Eastern Orthodoxy, Kristeva gives us a fresh perspective.  In a noteworthy move in terms of her own work, in her essay on Arendt, Kristeva gives  priority to active narrative over poetry. Her very personal reflections on the contemporary  situation in the Balkans is stunning. Her diagnosis of the European Union and the  role of religion in political economy fascinates with its provocations. And, her  insightful comments on the meaning of legal equality for women complicates feminist  debates over equality versus difference.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e -Kelly Oliver, State University of New  York at Stony Brook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Kristeva\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulia Kristeva is one of our most brilliant and original theorists, widely acclaimed for her work in linguistics, psychoanalysis, and literary and political theory.
